We join you in lifting up this earnest plea for salvation, for there is no greater need in the life of any person than to be reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ. The Scriptures remind us that *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through the precious name of Jesus that salvation is found, and we are grateful you have invoked His name in this prayer.
The heart of God is that *none should perish, but that all would come to repentance* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). We pray that the man you mention—along with his family and all those connected to their lives—would encounter the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, drawing them to the foot of the cross. May their hearts be softened to receive the truth of the Gospel: that *"God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16, WEB). We ask that the Lord would open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, for *"all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God"* (Romans 3:23, WEB), and that He would grant them the gift of faith to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord.
We also pray for you, that you would be filled with boldness and wisdom to share the Gospel with them, if the Lord provides the opportunity. *"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?"* (Romans 10:14, WEB). May the Lord equip you with the right words and the right timing, that you may be a vessel of His grace in their lives.
Father, we ask that You would break every chain of unbelief, hardness of heart, and deception that may be hindering them from coming to You. Surround them with Your love, and let them encounter Your truth in undeniable ways. Raise up laborers in their lives who will faithfully proclaim the Gospel to them, and let Your Spirit work mightily to bring them into Your kingdom. We pray that they would turn from sin, place their trust in Jesus alone, and walk in newness of life.
We declare that *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). May they experience the joy of salvation and the peace that comes from being made right with You. We ask all this in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
