Acts 16:14  A God-fearing woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying. (CSB)

Here’s a good prayer for those you want to see come to know Jesus: Ask Our Father in Heaven to open that person’s heart to respond favorably to the invitation to know and experience the gift of salvation. 

On this occasion, Paul prayed and preached. God used Paul’s prayers and preaching to open Lydia’s heart to respond. This is similar to what Jesus did after the resurrection in Luke 24:45, which says, “Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.”

Who do you know who could use an open heart and mind toward God? Ask God to open their hearts to receive his gift of salvation, to open their minds to his grace and truth. 

I will pray for those who need to know and experience Jesus.

Our Father, I bring to you today loved ones, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances who need to know you. Open their hearts and minds so they may see you for who you are, receive your gift of salvation, and become the kind of followers who invite others to know and experience you. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
