One Prayer

Romans 10:1 (NCV)

"Brothers and sisters, the thing I want most is for all the Jews to be saved. That is my prayer to God."

What if you only had one prayer left? and what if you knew your prayer would get answered, what would you pray for? I can just imagine the Apostle Paul looking at the outskirts of his city and suddenly tears start to run down his cheeks, why? because he knew that these people needed to be saved. His prayer wasn't a selfish prayer, like many of our prayers, but his prayer was one that didn't concern him but others, those around him. See in our lives we meet many people, cross paths with strangers, even have to deal with people that we just don't like, but what if we took our selfish desires and aimed our prayers for these individuals that don't know about Jesus Christ? Paul's prayer wasn't just to see some of the Jews be saved, but it was to see ALL the Jews be saved. I know there are a lot of “what if’s” but here is a last one: what if we would pray that same prayer? a prayer that says i want to see "ALL my family saved" "ALL my co-workers saved" "ALL of my city saved" how would our world look like? Last night P.Dan spoke about UNITY, and how in only 2 instances were the people in one accord (Genesis 11 & Acts 2) their UNITY allowed them to experience miracles, great achievements, a move of God. I Believe that today we are being called to pray, and not merely for ourselves, but for our families, friends, co-workers, city, world. if we came together with one thing in mind (that ALL man shall be saved) can we really see and experience another "one accord" experience? It's up to you, me, US!
