Opening closed minds and hearts
Do you want people to be nicer? More open to new ideas? More kind? More centered on God? Do we want to be more like Christ? We are called by God to be children of light. Let's pray that we and our neighbors will be more open to the Spirit, open to the truth, using helpful speech, showing kindness and forgiving each other as God has forgiven us.
Book Excerpt
Praying for BIG Things
Children of light
L ORD, help us not to live in the old ways where minds are full of darkness, wandering far from the life you give. Convict those who have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against you and have no sense of shame. May your Spirit renew their thoughts and attitudes, giving them a new nature that is righteous and holy. May they tell the truth to their neighbors and overcome the anger that controls them, for anger gives an opportunity for evil to enter our lives. May they no longer use foul or abusive language. Let everything they say be good and helpful and an encouragement to those who hear. May they get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, may we be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven us.
LORD, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Based on Ephesians 4:17-32
