The Father's drawing is the secret spring of all true coming to Christ. You have rightly laid hold of that great truth, none can come unless the Father draw him, and you have turned it into prayer, which is the very best use of any doctrine. To know our helplessness drives us to the Strong One; to know that salvation is of the Lord bows the knee in supplication. That prayer of yours, woven with so many Scriptures, is itself a proof of the Spirit's intercession within you, for the carnal mind cannot thus plead the promises.
Yet let me press this upon your heart: while you cry to the Father to draw your family, see to it that your own faith rests simply upon Christ. The faith which believes in the probable is anybody's faith; publicans and sinners can so believe. But the faith which treats all God's Word alike, which trusts Him for the salvation of your household when all evidence seems against it, this is the faith which honours God. Remember the Philippian jailer: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." That promise is not spent; it breathes still. Have faith in the Lord as to your family, and your beloved ones shall be given you as a prey. Pray on, but pray believing.
And when you ask for faith and repentance to be granted to them, remember that these twin graces are never separated. No repentance is true but that which consorts with faith; no faith is true but that which is linked with a hearty repentance. Yet the first business of a sinner is not to feel anything, but to put his trust in Christ. Repentance is a blessed fruit of faith and comes with faith. That repentance which has no faith in it must be displeasing to God, and needs to be repented of. So as you plead for your lost ones, point them not first to their sin, but to the Sin-bearer. Tell them they are not to try to make themselves fit to come to Christ, but to come to Him just as they are. "But I am lost," they cry. Yes, and the Master has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
The love of God from which you draw your plea is an everlasting love. He loved us long before we existed, loved us before the daystar first proclaimed the morning, loved us when we were spending our living with harlots. It is as impossible for any of the elect of God to come to Christ without Divine drawing as it would be for devils to feel tenderness of heart. But if you can say, "Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy Cross I cling," then His drawing may suffice as the proving that He loved you with an everlasting love. That same love reaches to your household. He who drew you can draw them. He who gave you faith can give them repentance.
Only be sure that your own soul abides in the simplicity of the Gospel. We rest upon Jesus Christ crucified and not upon our faith, our repentance, our prayers, our conquests of sin. Right away from anything that comes from us or to us we look to Jesus, who is all our salvation. The Holy Spirit could not be supposed to work if salvation by faith were an imperfect matter or dishonouring to Himself. It is by the Spirit that we continue to exercise faith. The new-born life in every man runs instinctively to grace and lives by faith.
Go then to the wellhead afresh. "Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace." Have you lost the comfort you once enjoyed? Come back to the old original source of happiness. The Father has drawn you; He will draw yours. The Son has revealed the Father to you; He will reveal Him to them. Faith creates love, and love sets faith to working. Faith opens the Sunday school and teaches the young and trusts in God that He will bless the Word to their salvation. Love must have faith to give it muscle, sinew, and strength, therefore take right good care of your faith.
Let this truth give consolation to any troubled about the inner life. All teaching that is absolutely necessary to salvation concerns Christ. Keep Him ever before your own eyes, and set Him before your family, not merely by word, but by a life which shows that you yourselves have been with Jesus. The soul that knows the love which stoops from the highest heaven, reaches down to the gates of the deepest hell, thrusts its arms up to the very elbows in the mire to pull accursed ones out of the pit, that soul will pray as you have prayed, and will not cease until the answer comes.
None Comes to Jesus w/o Father's Drawing, John 6:44, Reveal Jesus as Messiah, Mt 16:17, Father Reveals Jesus and Jesus The Father, Matt 11:25-27, 
"At that time Jesus declared, 'I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight. 27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him,'" Matt 11:25-27.
Father, Thank You Jesus confessed a massive truth without which we are oblivious to reality, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws them, and I will raise them up on the Last Day." Thank You for the honesty of The Way, The Truth and The Life, John 14:6, so we can ask YOU to do the work of God, John 6:29, in saving lost family, friends, enemies, the unsaved AND those who have strayed from the truth, James 5:19-20.
