We come before the Lord with hearts burdened for the soul you’ve lifted up in this request, though we do not know the name you’ve referenced. Yet we know that God sees and knows every heart, every need, and every soul that cries out for His mercy. The Scriptures remind us in **Ezekiel 18:4 (WEB)**, *"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die."* This is a solemn truth, but it is paired with the glorious hope found in **John 3:16 (WEB)**, *"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."*
First, we must address something vital: the power of prayer is accessed only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father or by which salvation is given. **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** declares, *"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!"* If the soul you’re praying for does not yet know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you—and them—to turn to Him in repentance and faith. Salvation is not found in good works, religious rituals, or human effort, but in Christ alone. **Romans 10:9-10 (WEB)** 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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
If this soul is already a believer, we pray for their strengthening, sanctification, and walk with the Lord. If they are lost, we pray for conviction, repentance, and the gift of faith to trust in Christ. Let us pray together:
---
Heavenly Father, we lift up this soul before You, knowing that You desire all people to come to repentance and to the knowledge of the truth. Lord, if this person does not know You, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself by Your Holy Spirit. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and soften their heart to receive Jesus Christ as Lord. Break the chains of sin, deception, and hardness of heart that may be keeping them from You. Let them hear the Gospel clearly and respond in faith, turning from their sins and trusting in the finished work of Christ on the cross.
If this soul is already Yours, we pray for their growth in grace and knowledge of You. Strengthen them in their faith, fill them with Your Spirit, and guard their heart against the snares of the enemy. Let them walk in obedience to Your Word, bearing fruit that glorifies You. Surround them with godly influences and protect them from the lies of this world.
Father, we also pray for the one who has brought this request before us. Give them wisdom, boldness, and opportunities to share the truth in love. May they be a light in darkness, pointing this soul—and all they encounter—to the hope found only in Jesus.
We ask these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Amen.

We encourage you to continue praying for this soul, but also to take action if you are able. Share the Gospel with them if you have the opportunity. **James 2:17 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself."* Prayer is powerful, but it must be paired with obedience to God’s call to proclaim His truth.
If you have not yet placed your own faith in Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, turn from them, and trust in Christ alone for salvation. There is no greater decision you could make, and no greater hope you could have than eternal life in Him. If you’d like guidance on how to do this, we are here to help.
May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek Him. Stand firm in the faith, knowing that He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to Him through Christ.
