Praying Five Minutes a Day for Five People!

 
As a disciple of Christ I love to pray for all kinds of things, however, the hardest and most rewarding time of prayer is taking time everyday to pray for the lost (also known as "intercession").  Here are some helpful points to become an effective intercession prayer warrior!

 Five Reasons To Pray Five Minutes a Day for Five Lost People

1. Everyday I pray for the lost I am forced to think about those I know who do not know Jesus, Romans 10:1.

2. Everyday I pray for the unsaved I am able to share the heart of Jesus- His number one goal is to see the lost saved, Matthew 9:37-38.

3. Everyday I "pray" for the lost I find myself more active to "preach" to the lost, 1 Corinthians 9:16.

4. Everyday I pray for the unsaved to get saved I think about my problems and issues less, Romans 12:10.

5. Everyday l pray for the lost I have the chance to be like Jesus and the Apostles who prayed for the lost to be saved everyday, Matthew 21:13.

 Five Ways To Pray Five Minutes a Day for Five Lost People
