We join you in this heartfelt cry for salvation and we are encouraged by your deep love and concern for ### and his family, for the people in his life, for all people in the USA and for people across the world. This heart for the lost reflects the very heart of God, for Scripture tells us that God desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:4, and that He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9. We rejoice that you prayed in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, and Jesus Himself said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6. It is only through faith in Jesus, believing that God raised Him from the dead and confessing Him as Lord, that we are saved, Romans 10:9, for 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.

We also hear your longing for safety and peace, for no recalls, no arrests, no fights, no murders, no deaths, and for only positive news in the USA and in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Central America, South America and every nation. We share that desire for peace and wholeness, and we do pray for protection and for good to prevail. At the same time we want to gently encourage you with biblical truth, because we live in a fallen world where suffering and death entered through sin, Romans 5:12, and creation groans under that brokenness, Romans 8:22. Jesus told us In the world you have trouble, but cheer up. I have overcome the world, John 16:33. Therefore while we pray for safety and for peace, we know that God has not promised a life on this earth free from all hardship, recalls, or even death, but He has promised His presence, His peace that surpasses all understanding to guard our hearts, Philippians 4:7, and ultimate deliverance through Christ. We are called to pray for all people and for those in authority, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence, 1 Timothy 2:1-2, and to fix our minds on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely and of good report, Philippians 4:8, even as we trust God when negative news does come.

We pray together with you now.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ and we thank You for Your great mercy and love. We lift up ### and his family to You, and every person in his life, and we ask that if any among them have not yet believed on Your Son, You would draw them by Your Holy Spirit, open their eyes to the gospel, and grant them repentance and faith unto salvation. We lift up all people in the USA and every person connected to them, and all peoples in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Central America, South America and every nation that is not the USA, and we ask for Your saving grace to reach them. Lord, have mercy and save many. We also ask for Your sovereign hand of protection over our communities, over food and products, over travel and daily life. Restrain evil, prevent violence and murder, bring peace where there is strife, and comfort those who mourn. Let Your peace rule and let the good news of Jesus be proclaimed continually. Even when trials and difficult news come, help us to trust Your goodness and Your ultimate plan to make all things new. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.

We noticed how wide your heart is in this prayer, caring not only for ### and his family but for so many others, near and far, and longing for a world marked by peace and safety instead of harm and bad news. That kind of compassion reflects God's own heart for people.

Your first concern, that those you named and many more would come to know salvation in Jesus, is the deepest need any of us has. Salvation is God's gracious gift, and He invites each person to receive it personally through faith in Christ. We cannot save anyone ourselves, but we can keep bringing them before the Lord by name and trusting Him to work in their lives in His timing and way.

We also hear your longing for no recalls, no violence, no deaths, and only good news everywhere. We live in a broken world where trouble still happens, and God has not promised to remove all hardship in this life, but He does promise to be present, to hear our prayers for protection and peace, and to bring ultimate healing and restoration through Jesus.

One simple way to keep this burden from feeling overwhelming is to keep a short written list of the people most on your heart, like ### and his family, and pray for one or two by name each day, asking God for an opportunity to show His love to them in a practical way.

Father, we bring ### and his family before You, and all those connected to them, and many across our country and world. Draw each one to Yourself and open their hearts to Your gift of salvation in Jesus. We ask for Your mercy over our communities, for safety, wisdom, and peace, and for Your comfort where there is hurt. Guide us to walk faithfully with You while we wait for Your perfect restoration. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer breathes a right and holy desire that souls should be saved, and in this we heartily join you. It is good that you would plead for the one you have named and his family, and for many others far and near, that they might know the truth of God's salvation. That salvation is in Christ alone, for there is none else. As the prophet cried, Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else. Believing in Christ is the true ground for joy and peace. What is believing but a simple trust in Christ, to look for salvation present and to come wholly from His hands, and then to receive pardon in full through His blood. This is the prayer we may offer with full confidence, that God would bring sinners to look unto His Son and live, whether they be in this land or in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Central America, South America, and every country under heaven. His thoughts toward His people are thoughts of peace and not of evil, and in the fullness of time those thoughts took practical effect in the gift of His only begotten Son to die for His people, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.

Concerning the other burdens you have laid before the Lord, for there to be no recalls, no arrests, no fights, no murders, no deaths and no negative news, and for only positive news always, we must gently set your heart upon what the Word teaches. It is for good and only for good that God thinks of us and deals with us, yet His thoughts of peace once suggested even captivity for seventy years for His own people, and He has His way mapped out though we see no going back and no going forward. If any of you are in trouble and sorrow today, do not doubt that this is sent you according to the thoughtful purpose of the Lord. Sickness and sorrow of themselves are no helps to salvation, and suffering alone does not make men holy, but the Lord in wisdom permits trial, affliction and even death in this fallen world, for it is appointed unto men once to die. To pray that there should never be death or never be judgment or never be any sorrowful tidings is to ask what God has not promised in this present age. By peace in Scripture is not meant that a man shall have great peace with everybody or that no evil shall ever be reported, for that is not true in a world of sin. Rather, great peace have they which love thy law, and joy and peace come in believing. When the sinner trusts Christ, he finds pardon for guilt and deliverance in trial, and within his own bosom an angel of peace to strengthen him in the hour of sorrow, though the world around him still groans.

So let us pray thus. May the Lord have mercy upon the one you have named and his family, and upon all those in their lives, and upon multitudes in this nation and in every nation, and bring them to see God's salvation in Christ Jesus, which must be God's in the beginning, God's in the carrying on and God's in the concluding. May they look unto Him and be saved. And may the Lord in His providence grant protection, order and restraint of evil according to His wise and holy will, and may He give to His people that greater peace which comes from loving His Word and trusting His Son, a peace that abides even when tidings are hard. We will continue to plead that the Word of God, which is as a fire and as a hammer, may burn its way into hearts and break down all that stands against Christ, until many more trust Him and know the truth of His salvation.

We commend you to keep looking heavenward with your eyes and your heart heavenward too, trusting that He who regards His people in Christ with perfect complacency will do all things well, and will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed upon Him.
