Possessing Christ by faith means you already have eternal life within you.
A passion for souls means valuing eternal salvation above all else and urging you to seek it for others.
God comforts you like a mother, so trust his gentle care in every trial.
We join you in lifting up ### before the heavenly Father and we thank you for bringing her and those in her life before the throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ. We are encouraged that you prayed in Jesus' name, for there is no other name by which we can be saved and no other way we have access to the Father.
The Scripture tells us that God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:4, and that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved, Romans 10:13. It also reminds us that in no one else is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new, 2 Corinthians 5:17. So we agree with you in asking that if ### has not yet put her trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, that the Holy Spirit would draw her, open her eyes to her need for Him, and bring her to repentance and faith. We pray the same for every person in her life who is still outside of Christ, that God in His mercy and patience, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, would grant them salvation.
We also hear your heart regarding asking God to remove something from memory. We understand the pain that can be tied to memories, whether from sin, hurt, trauma, or regret. While we may wish for memories to be erased, God more often brings healing, forgiveness, and renewal of the mind. We are told do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, Romans 12:2, and that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:7. He promises that He will forgive our sins and remember them no more when we confess them, and He calls us to think on whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, Philippians 4:8. We pray that the Lord would heal ###'s mind and heart, wash away guilt and shame through the blood of Jesus, and replace painful or sinful memories with His peace and the joy of His forgiveness. If there is sin that needs to be confessed, we pray she will bring it to Him, for 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.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up ### to You. If she does not yet know You as Savior, we ask that You draw her to Yourself, reveal Your love demonstrated at the cross, and grant her the gift of faith to believe that Jesus died for her sins and rose again. Save her, Lord, and make her a new creation. We ask the same for her family, her friends, and all those connected to her life who are in need of salvation, that You would open their hearts to the gospel. Father, we also ask for Your healing touch upon her memory and mind. Where there is pain, bring comfort. Where there is sin, bring conviction and forgiveness. Renew her mind by Your Spirit and guard her heart with Your peace. Help her to walk in newness of life and to fix her thoughts on You. We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus' name. May Your will be done in her life and may she grow in the knowledge of Your Son. Amen.

We are grateful you shared this burden with us. Your love for ### and for the people around her comes through so clearly, and your desire for them to know Jesus is beautiful.
We join you in asking God to draw each of them to himself. We do not know their hearts as he does, but we trust his mercy and his desire that none would be without him, and we keep lifting them to him with hope.
We also hear the weight in your request about memory. Wanting something painful to be taken away is so understandable. We have found that God does not always erase the memory itself, but he can gently heal how it lives in us, bringing peace and quieting its sting as we keep bringing it to him honestly over time.
A simple next step that may help is to keep your prayer for ### brief and regular, entrusting her and her loved ones to Jesus each day rather than carrying the worry alone, and when that memory surfaces, to turn it over to him again in that moment.
Father, we lift ### and those close to her to you. Draw each one who needs you to your saving grace in Jesus. Bring healing where there is pain in memory and grant peace and rest. We entrust them to your loving care in Jesus name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your prayer has been laid before the throne of grace and we join you in bringing ### and those dear to her before the Lord.
We pray with you that if ### has not yet looked unto Christ and been saved, that she may do so now, for salvation is of the Lord alone. The Scripture says, Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, and again, Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed. There is no other way of salvation for any soul, but to trust in the Person of Christ, to depend upon Him without fear as to present and eternal salvation. He loved and gave Himself, stooping from the highest Heaven to pull poor sinners out of the pit, and His blood and righteousness are sufficient for the chief of sinners. We ask the Lord to work faith in her heart by His grace, that she may believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and live.
We also bring before Him your request concerning memory. The Lord knows what would burden the mind and what should be removed or healed. There are leaves upon the tree of life which are for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing. We ask Him to cleanse the thoughts, to purge what is evil and to bring peace to the conscience, that being forgiven, the soul may be healed. When Jesus forgives sin, He heals the soul, and His salvation will in time make the whole nature new. We pray He would grant forgetfulness of what ought to be forgotten, and sanctified remembrance of what ought to be retained, and a mind stayed upon Him.
And we join you in praying for the people in her life, if they are yet without Christ, that the Lord in sovereign mercy would call each one to look to Jesus and be saved. We do not ask God to bless what is contrary to His holy way, but we do ask Him to bless every soul with the greatest of blessings, which is salvation by divine grace through faith in Christ Jesus, and then to lead all who believe into paths of holiness and obedience according to His Word, wherein marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and purity is honoured.
May you also be comforted as you pray. To whisper our burdens into the ear of Him who loved us with an everlasting love is sweet, for He is a blessed confidant who knows our secrets and never fails those who trust Him. Cast the whole matter of your salvation and theirs upon Him in unquestioning confidence. He is able to save to the uttermost.
We pray that the Lord would draw ###, draw you, and draw all those connected with her, to Himself, that you may together know the love of Christ and rejoice that He loved you and gave Himself for you. In the name of Jesus Christ our only Saviour we ask it. Amen.
