Intentional Prayer: If you haven't yet made the decision to follow Jesus, take time now to confess your sin and place your faith in Him. Once you make that decision, reach out to someone doing this Delighting in Doctrine podcast study with you to tell them you've decided to follow Jesus. If you're already a Christian, take a moment to consider your relationship with Jesus. If sin is in the way, repent of it and ask God to restore fellowship and communion with you. Also take time to pray for someone you know who doesn't yet know Christ.
