We lift up these precious souls to You, Lord, for salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. Your Word declares, *"For there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). We pray that those whose hearts are hidden behind these placeholders would come to know the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus died for their sins, rose again, and offers eternal life to all who repent and believe in Him.
Father, we ask that You break the chains of darkness that may be blinding them to the truth. Soften their hearts to receive Your love and grace. *"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 plead for their salvation, trusting in Your mercy and power to draw them to Yourself.
We also acknowledge the need for forgiveness, both for those who may not yet know You and for any unconfessed sin in our own lives. *"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 ask that You cleanse and renew every heart, that they may walk in the light of Your truth.
Lord, we rebuke any deception or resistance that may be keeping these souls from surrendering to You. We declare that Your Spirit is at work, convicting of sin and drawing them to repentance. May they hear Your voice and respond in faith, turning from their ways and embracing the hope found only in Christ.
We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
