Lost list?

I was really challenged today in the area of prayer and witnessing as Mickey spoke from Colossians 4:2-6.

A Lost List. What a great idea. A lost list is a list of lost people that you are praying for God to save.

No doubt lost people were the priority for Jesus' life and ministry. His very purpose for coming to earth was 'to seek and to save' the lost. The same is also true for the apostle Paul. Paul was willing to be permanently cut off from Christ if that would save someone else. Wow!

Who is on your lost list? I have to wonder, if we prayed more for lost people, would we be more likely to make the most of every witnessing opportunity? I wonder how many opportunities we fail to even see because we first failed to pray?

I, too, was also challenged by this message. I think we all should make a point to have a lost list. If we really pray that God will save these people, and if we make each opportunity count, we will see a God more real than we could imagine.
