Give Me Concern For the Lost - Prayer

Fill me anew with your Spirit; Give me concern for the lost. Anoint me for your service; Use me in your harvest. I commit my life to your leading— May my heart be filled with your love; Full of concern for the dying, Who have a home prepared above. Give me opportunities to witness; To tell of your mercy and joy; Your precious Holy Spirit— You left this earth to deploy. Place in me a fire— That burns deep within. May this passion be contagious, So that others too will begin. Use me to bless the hurting; Pray for all their needs, So they can see your handiwork, And miracles for others to concede. May joy and peace be with me; May your love be highly sought— Not for selfish reasons, But for others lives you have bought. May my concern for the lost— Compel me into action. I trust you, Lord, to enable me; In everything, I seek confirmation. Place a double portion of your Spirit— Upon my life today. May all the lost be drawn to you, And may “I” not get in the way.
