Pray for courage in generating and taking opportunities to speak the gospel.

And don’t forget to pray for me. Pray that I’ll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out.. . . . . Ephesians 6:19 (The Message)

Even Paul asked for prayer for courage and the confidence that he was speaking the right and best words. Pray that God would give you the boldness, that when presented with an opportunity, you would speak out the truth in Christ and share the gospel, and that he would give you the words.

Pray for the other Christians in the lives of your family and friends.

The reapers will be paid good wages and will be gathering eternal souls into the granaries of heaven! What joys await the sower and the reaper, both together! For it is true that one sows and someone else reaps.. . . . . John 4:36-37

God almost always uses a succession of people to share the gospel with people before they are saved. You have already prayed that God would put other Christians in their path, pray now for those Christians. That they too would provide an example of Christian living and that they too would speak the gospel.

Pray that God would use any circumstance to do his work in them.

Before I was humbled I went astray, but now I keep your word.. . . . . Psalm 119:67(NRSVA)

We pray to a God who is sovereign and who sovereignly works his good will. Often he saves people through difficult circumstances, through bringing them to the very end of themselves. Pray, then, that God would arrange circumstances, whether easy or difficult, whatever is required to lead them to salvation.
