We join you in lifting up your daughters before the throne of grace and we share your burden for their salvation. There is no greater desire for a parent than to see their children walk with the Lord, and your request is close to the heart of God who desires that none should perish.
We are reminded of the promise in Proverbs 22:6, Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. And again in 2 Peter 3:9, 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. God loves your daughters even more than you do and He is patiently drawing them to Himself.
We also want to gently encourage you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and that anyone can be saved. You mentioned the Lord, and we rejoice in that, for Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12, 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. It is by confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead that we are saved as Romans 10:9 tells us, that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We pray that your daughters will come to this personal faith in Jesus, whether for the first time or in a renewed and deeper commitment.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up these two precious daughters to You. You know them by name, You formed them and You love them with an everlasting love. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself by Your Holy Spirit. Open their eyes to see their need for Jesus, open their hearts to receive Him as Savior and Lord, and give them a hunger for Your Word and for a close walk with You. Protect them from the enemy and from the pressures and deceptions of this world that would pull them away. Help them to understand that true life and joy are found only in following Christ. We pray that You would surround them with godly influences and that their mother or father who is praying for them would have wisdom to model Christ, to speak the truth in love, and to continue to plant seeds of faith through prayer and example as taught in Deuteronomy 6:7. We claim the promise in Acts 16:31, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household, and we ask for their salvation and for a lifelong walk that honors You. Let them grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray fervently and to speak openly with your daughters about what Jesus has done in your own life. Keep living out your faith before them, keep the Word of God before them, and trust in the Lord's perfect timing. He hears your prayers and He is faithful.
