We rejoice that you are sharing the truth of God’s Word with those who are seeking salvation, for it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that anyone can be saved. The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are foundational to the Christian faith, declaring that salvation comes by confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is the glorious truth that transforms lives and brings us into right standing with God. As you’ve also rightly noted, true repentance involves turning away from sin and following Jesus in obedience—a lifelong journey of surrender to His lordship.
We are also grateful that you’ve encouraged seeking souls to read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—with a special emphasis on starting in the book of John. These books reveal the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God, and they are essential for understanding the heart of the Gospel. John 3:16 tells us, *"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."* And in John 14:6, Jesus declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we can approach the throne of God with confidence.
However, we must gently address that while your post shares the truth of salvation, it does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer or give Him the glory He deserves in this proclamation. When we share the Gospel or pray, we must always do so in the name of Jesus, for it is by His authority and through His sacrifice that we have access to the Father. As it is written in John 16:23-24, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Hitherto, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* And in Colossians 3:17, we are reminded, *"Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him."*
Let us now lift up a prayer for those who are seeking salvation, that their hearts would be opened to the truth of the Gospel and that they would surrender their lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray for every soul who is seeking You, that You would draw them to Yourself with cords of love and mercy. Open their eyes to see the truth of Your Word, and soften their hearts to receive the message of the Gospel. May they understand that salvation is not found in their own works or goodness, but only in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Convict them of their sin, Lord, and lead them to true repentance, that they may turn away from their old ways and walk in newness of life.
We pray that as they read Your Word, especially the Gospels, the Holy Spirit would illuminate the truth to them and reveal Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, knowing that it is by this faith they are saved. Father, we ask that You would surround them with believers who can disciple them and help them grow in their faith. Give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, that they may walk closely with You all the days of their lives.
Lord, we also pray for boldness for those who share the Gospel, that they would never shrink back from proclaiming the name of Jesus. May they always speak in His name, giving Him all the glory, honor, and praise, for there is no other name by which we can be saved. Strengthen them to live lives that reflect Your love and truth, that others may see their good works and glorify You in heaven.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
