“And he said: ‘I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’”
Matthew 18:3 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will focus on encountering Jesus on the road of change.  A pursuit of God, and His pursuit of us, should lead us to a place where our need for a transformation of heart, mind, body, and soul is obvious.  God isn’t bringing change into our life simply for the sake of change, He brings change because we need it!  Just as our encounter with Jesus changes us, we must anticipate that the same transforming power of Jesus will change others.  Pray for the wisdom to know what God wants to change in your life, and the courage to be receptive to that change.  Pray that you would have patience with God, with yourself, and with others as the process of change takes place according to God’s will and timing.  Pray also for wisdom in knowing the things to remain steadfast in which shouldn’t change.  Pray for a daily desire to be more like Christ.

“The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.”
Acts 26:26 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you walk a road of change with Jesus.  Pray for a heart and mind that pays attention to necessary changes in your life and in the lives of others.  Pray that the changes brought about by God in your life would help others to notice Him.
