“Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.  For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.’”
Luke 19:9-10 (NIV)

This week’s prayer focus is on the life we have in Christ.  Most of us have things that we protect and value because of the worth that we have given them.  We may even have things that we like to display for others to admire and appreciate because of how much they mean to us.  Nothing should have more value to us, or be appreciated in a greater way, than the life we have in Christ.  Pray that you would know and practice appropriate ways to not only protect that treasure, but to display it in ways that attract others to Jesus.  Pray about how God would have you reflect the nature of Jesus in seeking the lost in order to share with them about the life which can be found in  Christ.  Pray for a growing understanding, and practice, of the full life Jesus brings to all who come to Him.

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.” 
1 John 3:16 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you more fully understand the treasure that has been given through the eternal life you have in Christ.  Pray that you would always remember the great sacrifice that Jesus made on your behalf.  Pray that you would live that same spirit of sacrifice in your interactions with the people around you.
