Pray for the Message
Ephesians 6:19
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.” Ephesians 6:19 CSB
Often our prayers for others revolve around physical needs including health and general welfare. Yet when Paul, the great missionary, preacher, and theologian, requested the Ephesians to pray for him, his concerns were spiritual not physical. He yearned that his spoken words would always clearly tell of the gospel, how all people can know God through faith in Jesus Christ the Lord. He yearned for boldness and fearlessness to share the truths of the gospel.
Lord Jesus, I pray for missionaries, pastors, and all believers to boldly and faithfully share the message of the gospel. May the words spoken always tell others of Your grace, mercy, and love.
