Evangelism Prayers
There are many different ways to evangelize. Therefore, there are also many different prayers for evangelism. Evangelism prayers can help followers of Christ gather the courage, determination, and faith to go out into the world and spread Jesus’ message. Many of these prayers are drawn from passages in the Bible. Here are some of the best prayers for when you want to ask God to aid your evangelism efforts:
1 Corinthians 9:22: “To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.”
Prayer: “God, help me build a caring relationship with _______.”
Matthew 9:38: “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Colossians 4:3: “And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.”
Prayer: “Dear Lord, bring me the opportunities to witness to _______, as well as to all unbelievers.”
Acts 4:29: “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.”

Luke 8:11–15: “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.”
Prayer: “Dear Lord, please make _______’s heart receptive to your Word, like the seed that falls on good soil.”
