You have not asked for something small. When you plead, “Heavenly Father, pls kindly be with my ### and ###,” you are laying hold of the very heart of God. I want you to notice that. You did not begin with a list of grievances or a catalogue of fears; you began by asking the Lord simply to be with them. That is a large request, and it is a wise one, because when the Lord is with a man or a woman, everything else is taken care of. If He is with them at their job, then their job is safe in His hands. If He is with them among the people they work alongside, then those relationships are under His eye. You have asked for the one thing needful, and I would not have you think for a moment that it is a little thing.
And then you pressed further: you asked that the Lord would save them if they need salvation, and save the people in their life too. You wrote it twice, did you not? That tells me where the weight of your heart lies. You love them, and you have tasted enough of the goodness of God yourself to know that nothing less than full, free, eternal salvation will do. That is not a fretful prayer; it is a prayer the Holy Spirit Himself stirs up. You are asking for milk and wine, the gospel has both. Milk for the simplest daily need, and wine to make the heart leap with a gladness that only Christ can give. When you pray “save them,” you are asking God to give them that rich, strong, extraordinary thing that Jesus purchased with His own blood. He delights to hear it.
I know it can feel strange to hand your loved ones over to God and yet not see the answer written in the sky. But think of aged Simeon in the temple. He was led there by the Spirit, and when his eyes fell on a poor baby in His mother’s arms, he saw what nobody else saw. All Jerusalem was bustling about its business; priests and worshippers passed by and saw nothing but a peasant couple with a common child. But Simeon took that infant in his arms and said, “Mine eyes have seen Thy salvation.” Do you see? Salvation had come, but it was wrapped in swaddling clothes. It was real, it was present, and the common eye missed it entirely. Your ### may be surrounded by people who see nothing but an ordinary day’s work, an ordinary colleague, an ordinary life. But you are praying with Simeon’s eyes. You are asking that God would open theirs to see Jesus, and that is a prayer He will honor.
And while you wait, rest in this: the God who made the ear, does He not hear? The God who put love in your heart for your ### and ###, do you suppose He lacks tenderness toward them? He does not. He is teaching the whole world that He is God, and beside Him there is none else. And part of that lesson is that He is a saving God. He does not send a miserable salvation. The ways of Christ are ways of pleasantness. To be a Christian, even if this life were all, is a bright and happy thing, because it fills up the wells of Baca and puts a song into the night. When you pray for their salvation, you are not begging for a pinch of dry bread from a stingy hand; you are asking the King to open His wine-cellar and spread His feast for those you love.
As for their daily labor, take heart. The farmer bruises the sycamore fig with a rod, or it will never ripen. The vine-keeper prunes the branch, or it bears little fruit. Your ###' workplace may hold its share of thorns and weariness, but God knows how to ripen His children through it. Every tension, every weary hour, every difficult person, He can turn it all to good. He is with them, and that is better than a smooth path with no stones at all. He is after fruit in their lives, and He is after their good, and yours. So do not be afraid if the road is not always level; the Lord of the road is with them.
You have done a blessed thing in bringing them before the throne. Now leave them there.
Father, into Thy great, gentle hands I commend these dear ###, and this son or daughter who loves them with such an earnest love. Thou knowest the shops and offices and streets where they walk; be Thou their present help. Thou knowest the immortal souls of all whom this prayer has named; let the wind of Thy Spirit blow and open blind eyes to see Thy salvation in the face of Jesus Christ. Give them milk for their weariness and wine for their hearts, and let them taste and see that Thou art good. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
