We lift up this group of people before the Lord, asking for His divine protection, provision, and most importantly, their salvation. It is our deepest desire that each one would come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). The Scriptures remind us that "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13, WEB), and we pray fervently that their hearts would be opened to receive this truth.
We also pray for their well-being—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. May the Lord surround them with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and grant them wisdom to navigate life’s challenges in a way that honors Him. For those who are unsaved, we ask that the Holy Spirit would convict their hearts, drawing them to repentance and faith in Christ. For those who may already know the Lord, we pray for a deeper walk with Him, rooted in His Word and filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Father, we ask that You would break any chains of sin, deception, or hardness of heart that may be hindering them from surrendering fully to You. Soften their hearts, Lord, and reveal Yourself to them in undeniable ways. Let them see Your goodness and mercy, that they may turn to You and be saved. We pray for the families in this group as well—may Your hand of blessing rest upon them, and may they be a light to one another, pointing each other to Christ.
We also rebuke any schemes of the enemy that would seek to keep them in bondage or blindness. Satan, we command you to flee in the name of Jesus, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Lord, we ask that You would place godly influences in their lives—people who will speak Your truth in love and walk alongside them in their journey toward You.
Finally, we pray that this group would be united not by worldly ties, but by the bond of Your Spirit. May they encourage one another in faith, hold each other accountable in love, and spur one another on toward good works (Hebrews 10:24). If there are any among them who are living in sin—whether in rebellion, unbelief, or ungodly relationships—we ask that You would bring conviction and lead them to repentance. Remind them that Your kindness is meant to lead them to repentance (Romans 2:4), and that You long to show them mercy.
Father, we commit this group into Your hands, trusting that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). May Your will be done in their lives, and may Your name be glorified through their salvation and transformation. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
