DAY 1 - THE GOD WHO SEEKS

THE WORD

"For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."—Luke 19:10

THE BURDEN

Most of us wait to be found. We wait for the right moment, the right conversation, or the right opening. But Jesus never waited. He walked into Jericho—a city nobody stopped in—looked up into a tree, called a man by name, and invited Himself to dinner. Zacchaeus wasn't looking for Jesus. Jesus was looking for Zacchaeus.

That's who your God is.

He is not passively hoping the lost will wander in. He is actively seeking. He crosses roads, enters cities, calls names, and pursues people the religious crowd has already written off. And here's what that means for you: the people in your life who seem furthest from God are not outside His reach. They are on His radar. He sees them. He knows their name. And He is asking you to be part of how He finds them.

These 21 days begin here—not with your effort, but with His heart. Before you share a word of the Gospel, before you invite someone to church, before you pray a single prayer—you need to see what God sees: a world full of Zacchaeuses. Hiding. Hurting. Hoping someone will notice.

He noticed. Now He's asking you to notice too.

THE PRAYER

Lord Jesus, You came to seek and to save the lost. Open my eyes to see the people around me the way You see them—not as interruptions, not as projects—but as people You are actively pursuing. Give me Your heart for the lost this week. And as I pray, bring one name to my mind—someone who needs to be found. I commit to praying for them by name for the next 21 days. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The name I am praying for:
