In
Acts 1:8 Jesus promised His disciples that they would be His
witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the
earth. It is this promise that serves as our model for
prayer in the Lydia Prayer Journal. We start by
praying for Jerusalem, our homes and families;
Judea, our churches and communities; Samaria, our
nation; and finally, we pray for a different part of the
world each month. We have included some facts and prayer
tips in the journal to help you pray more effectively. The
journal is divided into 12 monthly sections and each section
begins with a prayer focus taken from Scripture.
In Acts 16:13 we read of the
apostle Paul attending a riverside prayer meeting outside of
Philippi. He encountered a group of praying women, one of
whom was a businesswoman named Lydia. She was a worshipper
of God whose heart the Lord opened to respond to Paul’s
message. Her response led not only to her own conversion but
to the conversion and baptism of her whole household. She
then opened her home to the great apostle, and the first
fellowship of Christian believers in Europe met in her
house. God used a woman’s prayer meeting to change history
once. We think He wants to do it again.
Our desire
is that Jesus would transform all of us into world
Christians, with a heart for God and a mind for truth. We
see this modeled in the example of Lydia. Her love and
obedience to Jesus impacted not only her family and Philippi
but ultimately Europe and the world. It is because of her
example that we have named this book the Lydia Prayer
Journal.
We hope that
as you begin this new prayer adventure your heart will be
blessed and your life and the lives of countless others that
you remember in prayer will be transformed. Thank you for
joining with us in the life-transforming adventure of
prayer. "When God wants to change human history, He begins
with an intercessor."-Beth Coppedge
"This is the confidence we have in
approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His
will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever
we ask, we know that we have what we asked of Him."
1 John 5:14
