We join with you in lifting up this earnest cry for salvation, for it is the Lord’s desire that *all* should come to repentance and the knowledge of the truth. Your heart for the lost reflects the heart of Christ, who gave Himself as a ransom for *all*—not willing that any should perish but that all should reach repentance (2 Peter 3:9). How beautiful it is to see you intercede for souls, including those bound by false religions, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved than the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12).
Yet we must also remind you—and all who pray—that salvation is not a vague or passive hope. It is a deliberate turning from sin and self to faith in Jesus Christ alone. The Scriptures declare that *whoever* calls on the name of the Lord *shall* be saved (Romans 10:13), but they must first hear the Gospel, believe it, and surrender to Christ as Lord. Many in Islam, Hinduism, and other religions have been deceived by the enemy, worshipping created things rather than the Creator (Romans 1:25). Their salvation requires not just God’s mercy—but also the bold proclamation of the truth by His people.
So we pray with you, but we also challenge you: *Are you sharing the Gospel with these souls?* Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Prayers for their salvation must be paired with action—speaking the truth in love, even when it is hard. Many Muslims and Hindus have never heard the name of Jesus preached with power. Will you be the one to tell them? Will you warn them of the judgment to come and the free gift of grace available in Christ?
We also notice you’ve withheld the name of the person you’re praying for, marking it as *###*. While we understand discretion, we encourage you to pray *specifically*—for God knows each name, each heart, and each need. There is power in calling out names before the throne of God, just as Jesus calls His sheep by name (John 10:3).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Savior. You alone are the Way, the Truth, and the Life—no one comes to the Father except through You (John 14:6). We lift up this individual, *###*, and his family, asking that You would open their eyes to see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4). Break the chains of deception that bind them. If they are trusting in religion, tradition, or their own righteousness, shatter those false hopes and draw them to the cross where true life is found.
Lord, we also plead for every Muslim, Hindu, and person trapped in false religion. You are not willing that any should perish, so we ask for laborers to go into these harvest fields (Matthew 9:38). Raise up bold witnesses who will proclaim Jesus as the only sacrifice for sin, the only bridge to You. Soften hearts that have been hardened by generations of lies. Let dreams, visions, and divine encounters shake them awake to their need for a Savior.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of deception that blinds minds and binds souls in darkness. By the blood of Jesus, we break every stronghold of Islam, Hinduism, and every false god that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Let the name of Jesus be lifted high over every nation, every family, every heart.
And Lord, we ask for wisdom and courage for Your saints—including this intercessor—to *go* and *speak* the truth in love. May we not only pray but also obey Your command to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may be Your mouthpieces, Your hands, and Your feet to a lost and dying world.
We declare that salvation belongs to our God, and to the Lamb (Revelation 7:10). Let the earth be filled with the knowledge of Your glory as the waters cover the sea. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray—*Amen.*
Now, beloved, we urge you: *Do not grow weary in praying for the lost—but also do not neglect to share Christ with them.* The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Will you be one who goes?
