Men Who Lead

Hey brother, let me pray for you. God, I am lifting up my brother right now who feels lost in his journey with you. He knows you're calling him to surrender his sin to you, but he doesn't know how.

Lord, I pray he would not focus on the what, what he's supposed to do. Help him to focus on the who, who you want him to become, the man that you want him to be, Lord. I pray that you would stir in him a desire to want to experience you fully, God, because you are so much better than the sin that we think will satisfy us, God.

Lord, your ways are higher, Lord. Your love is better and it is wider and it's greater and so much more fulfilling than any other cheap substitute, any other fast thrill, Lord, any other temporary feeling, any fleeting passion, God. You are what we need, God.

We want you and you alone, God. I pray my brother would be filled with more of you and more of your spirit. I pray as he lays his life down at your feet that he would experience you in a whole new way, that it would be so undeniably you, God.

He would know that right in that moment that he meets with you, he had an encounter with the living God. He is the same God. You are the same God who raised Jesus from the dead, the same God who conquered the power that sin would have over us on the cross.

You are the same God who offers our sin to be totally forgiven, to have a reason for living today and a home in heaven, God. That is who you are. And I pray that my brother would no longer feel lost, but know that he is found, Lord.

He's found by you. He once was blind, but now he sees. He once was trapped, but now he's freed, Lord.

He's been unchained to live by the power of your spirit in total freedom. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
