“As I read through the New Testament,” writes missionary Sky Scott, “I see something I have never seen before. (Isn’t God’s living Word amazing?) I see Paul praying repeatedly for believers. So often in my own life, I tend to focus on just praying for the lost. But as I read Paul’s prayers for the saved, I realize that if the saved are abiding in Jesus and Jesus is abiding in them, then they will be faithful and obedient, and the lost will hear the gospel. ‘Lord, we pray for all the people in Pretoria who are Your chosen, born-again ones. We ask that they will be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding! We ask that You empower them to walk in a manner worthy of You! Let their lives be fully pleasing to You. Holy Spirit, let their lives bear fruit in every good work that they do. Would You please strengthen them with all Your power and help them endure with patience and joy! Thank You that You have delivered these Pretorians from the domain of darkness and transferred them to the kingdom of Your Son (Colossians 1:9-14). Let Pretorians proclaim Your praises to Pretorians!'”
