New Followers of Christ
How beautiful it is to see another person accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those requesting prayer for guidance as a new follower of Christ may not yet fully understand what has happened and what comes next. Here is where we come in! We are not here to give them all the answers they are looking for (only God is able to do that) but we can help them during their initial transition into new followers of Christ.
Possible things to pray for:
· Guidance as they begin to read the Bible
· Finding a church/ a community of faith
· Resisting worldly temptations
· Discovering who they are in Christ
· Learning how to pray
· Dealing with fear of what others may think of them
