 Imagine the impact if every Christian had ONE person they prayed for and shared the gospel with. 

 Prayer is at the center of every great evangelistic movement, and every movement is made up of people. Use this guide over the next 30 days to pray for someone you know who needs the hope of the Prayer GOSPEL. 

When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
1 CORINTHIANS 15:54-57, CSB

God, the resurrection is my hope. I believe Jesus rose victorious over Satan, sin and death, and His resurrection was the first fruits of all those who have faith in His work. We, too, will rise again one day! __________ does not know this same hope. Remind him/her of his/her own mortality, and create an awareness of his/her need for eternal hope. Use the reality of the brokenness of this life and the reality of death to jar __________ from his/her complacency, and position those who know You to testify to the hope of the resurrection. 

  Therefore, we don’t need to say anything, for they themselves report what kind of reception we had from you: how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. 

1 THESSALONIANS 1:8–10, CSB

 Lord, Paul gives thanks for those in the Church who turned from idols to serve You, the true and living God. This is exactly what __________ needs to do. Though he/she would likely not admit he/she is serving idols, that’s exactly what’s happening. Money. Power. Possessions. Fame. Anything other than You! Cause __________  to see these things for what they are— frail and flimsy sources of hope and ultimately not worthy of worship. I pray for a time when I will be able to look back  on __________ ’s life and testify that he/she turned from idols to trust in You—the only true God. 

 Dear friends, don’t overlook this one fact: With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance. 

2 PETER 3:8–9, CSB 

Father, thank You for being patient with __________ . I know every day You extend his/her life is testimony to Your longsuffering and desire for all people to know and personally experience the hope that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. I also understand You could return at any moment and, when You do, it will be too late for those who have never repented of their sins and trusted You. I pray this reality will create a sense of urgency in my life and cause me to share with boldness. I ask that Your kindness will lead __________ to repent of his/her sins and experience life with You now and forever.
