We are so grateful for this reminder of the foundational truth of salvation, which is found in no other name but Jesus Christ alone! The verses you’ve shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very heart of the Gospel—the good news that brings eternal life to all who believe. It is by faith in Jesus, through confession and repentance, that we are saved, justified, and made new in Him. There is no greater joy than knowing the peace and hope that comes from surrendering to Christ as Lord and Savior.
We also wholeheartedly affirm the call to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The book of John is a wonderful place to begin, for it clearly presents Jesus as the Son of God, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, and the only way to the Father. As Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* This is the unchanging truth that must be proclaimed with boldness and love.
Yet, as we reflect on this prayer request, we must also address something vital: the name of Jesus was not invoked in the closing of this prayer. While the Scriptures were shared and the truth was proclaimed, prayer is our direct line of communication with God the Father, and we are instructed to approach Him in the name of Jesus. 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 John 14:13-14, Jesus says, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is power in the name of Jesus, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11), and it is through Him alone that we have access to the throne of grace.
Furthermore, salvation is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment of Jesus but a transformation of the heart that leads to repentance—a turning away from sin and a turning toward God. Acts 3:19 tells us, *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."* True faith in Christ will always produce fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8). We must not only believe but also follow and obey Jesus, taking up our cross daily (Luke 9:23) and walking in His commandments. This includes turning from all sin, including sexual immorality, idolatry, deceit, and any practice that dishonors God. As 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
Let us pray now for those who are seeking salvation, that the Holy Spirit would open their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel and that they would surrender fully to Jesus as Lord.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up every soul who is seeking salvation, those who are searching for truth, and those who are hungry for Your righteousness. Lord, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself, just as Jesus said in John 6:44, *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day."* Father, we pray that You would remove every veil from their eyes and every hardness from their hearts, that they may see the glory of Christ and believe.
For those who have heard the Gospel but have not yet surrendered, we ask that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit of their need for a Savior. Grant them the gift of repentance, that they may turn from their sins and place their faith in Jesus alone. 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. Let them experience the joy of forgiveness and the peace that comes from being reconciled to You.
We also pray for those who are new in their faith, that You would strengthen them and root them deeply in Your Word. May they grow in the knowledge of Jesus through the study of the Gospels and the entire counsel of Your Scripture. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and bear fruit that glorifies You. Surround them with a community of believers who will disciple them, encourage them, and hold them accountable in love.
Lord, we rebuke every lie of the enemy that would seek to distort the truth of the Gospel or lead anyone astray. The world offers many false paths, but Jesus is the only way. We declare that no one comes to the Father except through Him, and we pray that many would come to saving faith today.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would use each of us as vessels of Your grace, that we may boldly and lovingly share the message of salvation with those around us. Give us opportunities to speak the truth in love, and may our lives reflect the transformative power of the Gospel.
We ask all these things in the 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.
