SWBC Shared Purpose
Pray for God’s grace to enable us to glorify Him by making disciples of Jesus Christ among all peoples.
Father,
We ask you to empower us by your Holy Spirit to joyfully come under the authority of Jesus as we help others do the same through discipleship.
Guide us into opportunities to be ambassadors of Christ to people from all kinds of places and walks of life.
Give us the joy of seeing people come to faith and be baptized.
Give us joy in obeying all you have commanded us and lead us to teach others how to enter that joy as well.
Help us to have confidence that you are with us and lead us to invite others to share in the security and joy of knowing you are always with us.
Amen.
Matthew 28:18-20: And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

In what ways does the Enemy sidetrack my prayer life? Be specific.
Read the words in the Lord’s Prayer below "...but deliver us from evil..." Have you considered the Evil One my be distracting you from prayer? Good news! You can pray to the Father to deliver you from the distractions of Satan and into a more intimate prayer life.
Praying Scripture
The Lord’s Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13:Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name.Your kingdom come,your will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread,and forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors.And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil.For yours is the kingdomand the power and the glory, forever.Amen
This is how Jesus answered the disciples when they said, "Lord, teach us to pray." Read it. Pray it. Meditate on each line. Read it again. Pray it again.
