7 Prayers That Work

  Lord Jesus, You've never been lost, have you? But maybe, in your human moments,  you felt adrift, hopeless, or lost. You're both a shepherd and a lamb. So maybe it's possible you  understand how I feel. I feel lost . I want your will in my life, but I feel incapable of understanding it. I want your calling on my life, but I feel unable to practice it. I want your blessing on my life, but I feel overlooked in receiving it. I want your power in my life, but I feel unable to access it. I just feel lost. Come after me. Search me out  because I want to be found . I'm yours, and I want to feel your presence. Come find me where I hide because I'm too weak to move towards you. But your love is reckless and boundless. You fight for me, look for me, and always find me. Lord Jesus, find me now! Wrap your Shepherd's arms around me and carry me home. Reassure me that you care, that I matter, and that you will always accomplish your will in my life,  if I let you. Drown...

Lord Jesus, Shepherd of our Souls, Guide me to the one who's seeking you, even if he/she doesn't know it. Prompt me to visit, call, help , text, befriend , pray for, share with, give testimony to-- someone who is seeking truth -- someone who needs you. Fill me with your Spirit so that I will not overlook the lost one. Prod my heart so I don't get off-track, self-absorbed, afraid, discontent, or unconcerned. Massage my heart so I become and remain completely full of your Spirit and your mission. I pray for the lost sheep who needs you, and I surrender to your using me to find him/her. In Jesus' name,  Amen. "I tell you, in the same way, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." ( Luke 15:7 )
