And when He is come, He will convict the world of sin... (John 16:8)

Jesus said it was the work of the Spirit to convict people of sin. We always do a poor job when we presume to do the Spirit's work for Him! Let us pray that God will cause Holy Spirit conviction to sweep across our region so that people will know their sin and their need of a Savior.

Holy Spirit, we ask You to forgive us for the times we thought we could "fix" people better than Jesus. Please convict people in our area of their need for Jesus the Savior. We acknowledge that this is a supernatural work of Your grace, not something we can achieve by human striving or pressuring people.
