Norman Cates shared the humorous story of a guy who prayed this prayer every
morning: "Lord, if you want me to witness to someone today, please give me a
sign to show me who it is." One day he found himself on a bus when a big, burly
man sat next to him. The bus was nearly empty but this guy sat next to our
praying friend.
The timid Christian anxiously waited for his stop so he could exit the bus. But
before he could get very nervous about the man next to him, the big guy burst
into tears and began to weep. He then cried out with a loud voice, "I need to be
saved. I'm a lost sinner and I need the Lord. Won't somebody tell me how to be
saved?" He turned to the Christian and pleaded, "Can you show me how to be
saved?" The believer immediately bowed his head and prayed, "Lord, is this a
sign?
" Are you looking for a "sign" to start witnessing? It can be found in Matthew
28:19-20 and Acts 1:8.
