We join you in this beautiful and selfless prayer of intercession, for it is close to the heart of God that none should perish but that all should come to repentance.
We are encouraged by your heart to pray for this bishop and for those in his life, because Scripture reminds us that a title or position in the church does not guarantee salvation. Salvation comes only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. 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. Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. Even those who oversee the church must be born again and meet the qualifications of godly character and faith found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9.
We love that you prayed in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. If anyone confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in their heart that God raised him from the dead, they will be 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 take comfort 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. Therefore we can pray with confidence for this bishop and his circle.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We lift up this bishop to You. If he has not yet truly been born again, we ask that You draw him to Yourself, open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, grant him repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone for his salvation. If he does know You, we pray You would strengthen him, keep him faithful to Your Word, and make him an example of godliness to the flock. We also lift up every person in his life, his family, friends, colleagues, and congregation. Lord, save each one who is in need of salvation. Draw them by Your Holy Spirit, soften their hearts, and lead them to place their trust in Jesus. We pray that their lives would bear fruit in keeping with repentance and bring glory to Your name. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray fervently for them, for the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power James 5:16. Continue to intercede and, as the Lord gives opportunity, speak the Gospel to them with love and truth.

We noticed the tenderness in your prayer for this bishop and for the people around him. Thank you for taking time to lift them up so simply and sincerely. We want to join you in bringing them before the Father.
We do not always know the state of another person's heart, even someone who serves in a visible role, but God knows each one completely. We find comfort that salvation is His gracious work from start to finish, offering not only forgiveness but real wholeness and new life to all who turn to Him through Jesus. When we pray as you have, we are placing people we care about into the hands of the One who loves them more than we do and who hears every prayer offered in Jesus' name.
If this burden stays with you, keep bringing this bishop and his circle to the Lord by name as you think of them. And if your life touches theirs in any way, continue to reflect Christ quietly and consistently where you are. Faithful prayer and a faithful life often work together over time.
Father, we lift this bishop and each person in his life to You. Where there is need for Your saving grace, draw them to Yourself through Jesus. Give them honest hearts to seek You, and give our friend peace as they continue to intercede. We entrust them all to Your mercy and care. In Jesus' name, amen.

Your prayer for this bishop and for those connected with him is good and right before the Lord, and we join our hearts with yours in it.
Intercessory prayer is the sweetest prayer God ever hears, for the prayer of Christ Himself is of this character, and it is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought, and how it has stayed plagues and turned sinners from the error of their ways. I deny his saintship if he does not pray for others, and the newly delivered soul pleads for others who are still in the condition from which grace has enabled it to escape, saying, Lord, You have brought my soul out of prison, set my fellow captives free.
It is an excellent thing to pray thus, for it benefits those who use it and it knits our hearts together in love, and it fits us to be God's instruments. Prayer is the most essential thing in turning sinners from the error of their ways, and when we agonize with one another in prayer to God, we do a true service of love.
So we will pray with you, that if this bishop or any in his life are yet without Christ, the Lord in His loving kindness would grant them to taste the sweetness of His salvation. There is salvation in no other, for there is one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, and there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. May the Lord show them their need, destroy all false hopes, and bring them to build upon the firm foundation which is Christ alone, trusting in His finished work upon the cross and His resurrection.
We also pray that all who already belong to Christ, whether bishop or people, may be revived and kept faithful, walking in the truth and living to His glory.
Continue steadfastly in this supplication, and may the God of peace be with you all. We commend this to the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who ever liveth to make intercession for us. Amen.
