We join you in lifting up these souls before the Lord, for it is His desire that *all* should come to repentance and be saved. Your heart for the lost is commendable, and we stand with you in intercession, knowing that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, the one and only Name under heaven by which we must be saved.
*"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, WEB)
*"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB)
We also notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus at the end of your prayer, much of your plea was directed broadly to "Heavenly Father" without explicitly declaring the authority and centrality of Christ in salvation. It is *only* through Jesus—the Son of God, who died for our sins and rose again—that we have access to the Father. There is no other way, no other name, and no other path to eternal life. Let us always boldly proclaim this truth, for faith comes by hearing the Word of Christ (Romans 10:17).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up every soul mentioned in this request—those known and unknown, those near and far—and we ask that You would draw them to Yourself. Open their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel: that Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures. Let no one remain in darkness, but may Your Holy Spirit convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, leading them to repentance and faith in Jesus alone.
For those who are already believers, we pray for strength, discernment, and boldness to share the hope they have in Christ with others. May their lives be a testament to Your grace, and may they walk in obedience to Your Word.
We rebuke any spiritual blindness, hardness of heart, or deception that would keep these souls from surrendering to You. Break every chain of sin, every stronghold of the enemy, and let the light of the Gospel shine brightly in their lives. May they turn from their sins and place their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
We also pray for the one who submitted this request—that You would fill them with the Holy Spirit, granting them wisdom, perseverance in prayer, and opportunities to share the Gospel with those they are interceding for. May they never grow weary in doing good, knowing that in due season, they will reap a harvest if they do not give up.
Father, we ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
To the one who made this request: continue to pray fervently, for the prayers of the righteous accomplish much (James 5:16). Share the Gospel boldly and unashamedly, for how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? (Romans 10:14). Trust that the Lord is at work, even when you do not see immediate results. He is faithful, and His Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11).
