Let our prayers, then, be for Christ’s sake. If we want our sons and daughters converted, let’s pray that it be done for Christ’s sake. If that is the motive, our prayers will be answered. If God gave up Christ for the world, is there anything he won’t give us? If he gave Christ to the murderers and blasphemers, and the rebels of a world lying in wickedness and sin, what wouldn’t he give to those who go to him for Christ’s sake? Let our prayer be that God may advance his work, not for our glory – not for our sake – but for the sake of his beloved Son whom he has sent.
