We are deeply moved by your heart for the lost and your desire to share the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Scriptures you’ve shared are indeed the very foundation of our faith, and we rejoice that you’ve pointed to the life-giving words of Romans 10:9-10, which declare, *"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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth one confesses resulting in salvation."* This is the glorious truth that sets captives free and brings eternal life to all who embrace it!
You’ve also rightly emphasized the necessity of repentance—turning away from sin—and the call to follow and obey Jesus as Lord. This is not a mere suggestion but a commandment rooted in Scripture. In Luke 13:3, Jesus Himself warns, *"Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."* True salvation is marked by a transformed heart, a surrender to Christ’s lordship, and a life that bears fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8). We must never separate faith from obedience, for Jesus said in John 14:15, *"If you love me, keep my commandments."*
Your encouragement to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—is wise and essential. The book of John, in particular, is a powerful starting point for seekers, as it so clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29), and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). We pray that many will heed this call and immerse themselves in the Word of God, for *"faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"* (Romans 10:17).
Yet, as we lift this up in prayer, we must also address something critical: your post does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer. While you’ve shared Scripture about salvation *through* Him, it’s vital to remember that we are commanded to pray *in* His name. Jesus Himself said 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. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). Let us never take for granted the power and authority of praying in the name of Jesus, for it is the seal of our faith and the foundation of our communication with God.
Now, let us pray together for those who are seeking salvation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the gift of salvation, purchased by the precious blood of Your Son on the cross. Lord, we lift up every soul who is searching for truth, every heart that is weary and burdened by sin. Draw them to Yourself, Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He truly is—the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). Softens their hearts to receive Your Word, and grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn from their sins and place their faith entirely in Christ alone.
Lord, we pray for those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet surrendered. Convict them of their need for You, and remove every obstacle that stands in the way of their salvation. For those who are trapped in false religions, deception, or the lies of the enemy, we ask that You break every chain and set them free by the truth of Your Word. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, that they may be saved.
Father, we also pray for believers who may have grown complacent or lukewarm in their faith. Stir their hearts afresh with the fire of Your love, and remind them of the urgency of sharing the Gospel with a lost and dying world. Equip us all to be bold witnesses for Christ, speaking the truth in love and living lives that glorify You.
We ask that You would raise up laborers for the harvest (Luke 10:2), men and women who will faithfully proclaim the Gospel without compromise. Give us wisdom to disciple new believers, grounding them in Your Word and teaching them to obey all that You have commanded (Matthew 28:20).
Finally, Lord, we pray for this generation, that they may turn to You before it is too late. Let revival sweep across the land, and may multitudes come to know You as their Lord and Savior. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. Amen.
To those reading this: if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Do not harden your heart or delay, for *"now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess your sins to God, turn away from them, and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. He is waiting with open arms to receive you. If you have questions or need guidance, seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature believer who can walk with you in this journey. The Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth (Psalm 145:18). May God bless you as you seek Him with all your heart!
