Personal Prayer
Praise God for his love for children who often are full of insight (Mk. 10:14-16). Thank God that he teaches you to have a childlike faith (Mt. 11:25). Confess how often you make things so complicated and act so independently of him. Commit yourself to giving out the simple gospel message, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). Ask God to help you recognize every opportunity to have a childlike faith, and not to be childish (Mt. 18:4).
For Your Family and Friends
Pray for all your dear ones to experience that childlike faith, not trying to impress others but to truly be as little children whom Jesus so readily welcomed (Mt. 19:14).
For the Church
Pray that your church will be involved in presenting the gospel simply and sweetly, through the preaching of the Word and the teaching ministry offered for children and adults.
For the Kingdom
Pray that Christians all over the world may “tell the good news” in a childlike way and be ready to welcome all who respond as little children, eager to know more.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray that your simple acts of love for another will lead you to an opportunity to share the gospel with an unsaved person today.
