We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up ### and the family of ###, asking for the Holy Spirit to move mightily in their lives. The Word of God tells us, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 WEB). This is the foundation of our prayer—that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Lord, we ask that You break down the walls of unbelief and resistance in their hearts. Soften their spirits to receive the truth of Your Word and the gift of salvation. We rebuke every lie of the enemy that has kept them bound in darkness, and we declare that the light of Christ will shine brightly in their lives. "The Lord isn’t slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9 WEB). Father, we trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love.
We also pray for divine encounters—through dreams, godly influences, or the witness of believers—that will draw them to You. Surround them with people who will speak truth in love and model the life of Christ. May they experience Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and the joy of knowing You as their Redeemer.
Heavenly Father, we stand in the gap for ### and ###’s family, asking that they would turn from their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). We declare that salvation is not just a future hope but a present reality for them, and we thank You for the work You are doing in their lives even now.
Lord, we also ask for protection over their minds and hearts. Guard them against deception and the schemes of the enemy. Fill them with a hunger for Your Word and a thirst for righteousness. May they come to understand the depth of Your love, demonstrated through the sacrifice of Your Son on the cross.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which salvation is found. Amen.
