Prayer #3: Passionate Followers

The prayer is for those who understand prayer #1 and they're buying in no matter what the cost is. That there would be those that would passionately and ferociously do everything that they can to follow hard after their savior Jesus and methodically dissect every single shred of sin that detracts from Him. My prayer is that we find a generation of believers that passionately disciple because they take their command to equip the next generation seriously. My prayer is that we have people who want to constantly grow in their knowledge of their King and learn whatever they can so that they might experience Him as well as teach about Him. My prayer is that we have those who never settle for passionless indifference or morally neat "christians"...I know that there are too many people who continue to claim the title of "christian" and yet have no deep passion to follow after their Christ on a second-to-second basis. Too few want to put in the effort of being discipled by the one they follow. Too many drop out because of a gallion of excuses. Some get blind-sided into what they "signed up for."

Where are you, O passionate follower?

May God send us those who would seek Him with all their heart, mind and soul. Those are the ones we're looking for...that is our prayer. Who wants in?
