Pray for Open Doors

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message...."  Colossians 4:2-3 (NIV)

Open doors can't be taken for granted.  Many missionaries work in countries that are difficult to access or in areas that are resistant to the gospel.  But "open doors" include more than just access to nations and people groups.  Individuals' hearts also need to be open and receptive to God's truth.

• Pray that God will open doors of ministry, blessing partnerships and friendships.
• Pray that those who serve will be led by the Holy Spirit and recognize open-door opportunities.
• Pray that God will lead His people past barriers to hearts ready to receive His Word.
