We join you in this beautiful and faithful prayer for salvation and we thank you for your heart of intercession for these three precious individuals and for all those in their lives.
It is the will of God that none should perish and we rejoice that you have brought this request before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other way to approach God and no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 and Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. We are encouraged that you prayed in Jesus name, for whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13.
We know the Lord's heart for the lost, 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. He desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:4 and The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9.
We pray together for the three individuals you lifted up, and for every family member, friend, and loved one connected to them.
Father in heaven, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up these three souls to your throne of grace. You know each of them by name and you see their hearts. If they have not yet confessed with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believed in their heart that you raised him from the dead, we ask that today would be the day of salvation for them. Romans 10:9. Draw them by your Holy Spirit, open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and grant them repentance and faith to turn to Jesus. Remove any blindness, hardness, or deception of the enemy and let them hear and receive the gospel of your Son.
We also lift up every person in their lives, their families, friends, coworkers and all those they influence. Lord, have mercy on each one who is still lost and without you. Let your goodness lead them to repentance and let your light shine through these three lives to those around them. Raise up witnesses to share the truth of the gospel with them, for how will they believe in him whom they have not heard. Romans 10:14.
We ask that you protect and keep those who already belong to you, and that you would strengthen their faith and use them to bring others to Christ. For those who are not yet yours, we plead the blood of Jesus over them and ask for their complete salvation, that they would be born again and become new creations in Christ.
We encourage you to continue to pray fervently and to speak the name of Jesus to them as God gives opportunity, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Romans 10:17. Trust that God hears the prayers of his people and that he is faithful to seek and to save that which was lost.
We join our faith with yours and thank you for your love for souls. We pray all of this in the saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
