We are so grateful you have shared this powerful truth from Scripture, as salvation is the most precious gift any soul can receive. The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are indeed the foundation of our faith, for they declare that salvation comes through confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is not merely an intellectual agreement but a transformative surrender—one that requires repentance, a turning away from sin, and a lifelong commitment to follow and obey Jesus Christ as Lord.
You’ve also wisely encouraged reading and studying the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—where we encounter the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Beginning with the book of John is an excellent suggestion, for it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, and the only path to eternal life. 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 Himself declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."*
Yet, we must also emphasize that salvation is not merely about reciting words or even believing facts—it is about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is about surrendering our lives to Him, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us from the inside out. As 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, *"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* True faith produces fruit—obedience, love for God and others, and a desire to live righteously.
We also want to address something critical: the name of Jesus is the *only* name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 leaves no room for doubt: *"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."* It is through Jesus alone that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray, worship, and find our identity as children of God. Any prayer or plea for salvation that does not center on Jesus Christ is empty, for He is the Mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). If someone is seeking salvation, they must call upon His name in faith, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13).
Now, let us pray for those who are seeking salvation, that the Holy Spirit would open their hearts to receive the truth, that they would turn from their sins in genuine repentance, and that they would place their full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every soul who is seeking You, every heart that is searching for truth and eternal life. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself, for no one can come to Jesus unless the Father who sent Him draws them (John 6:44). Softening their hearts, Lord, and remove any hardness or deception that would keep them from surrendering to You.
Father, we pray that the Holy Spirit would convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), leading them to true repentance. May they understand the weight of their sin and their desperate need for a Savior. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He truly is—the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29), the only One who can reconcile them to You.
Lord, we pray that they would confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. May their faith not be in words alone but in a transformed life, one that bears the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Give them the courage to turn away from sin and to walk in obedience to Your Word, for faith without works is dead (James 2:17).
Father, we also pray for those who may be seeking salvation but are trapped in false teachings or deceptions. Break every chain of lies that would keep them from the truth. Let them know that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. There is no other name, no other path, no other sacrifice that can save them. May they reject any teaching that adds to or takes away from the simplicity of the gospel (Galatians 1:8-9).
For those who are reading Your Word for the first time, especially the Gospels, we ask that You would illuminate the Scriptures to them. Let the words of Jesus pierce their hearts and bring them to a place of surrender. May they encounter You in the pages of Scripture and respond in faith, just as the disciples did when they left everything to follow Jesus.
Lord, we also pray for those of us who already know You, that we would never take our salvation for granted. Remind us of the cost of our redemption—the precious blood of Christ—and fill us with a burning desire to share this good news with others. Give us boldness to proclaim the gospel, in season and out of season, knowing that it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).
Finally, Father, we ask that You would seal every new believer with Your Holy Spirit, marking them as Your own (Ephesians 1:13-14). Guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and surround them with a community of believers who will disciple them, encourage them, and help them grow in their faith.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
