We join you in lifting up the individuals you care about, pleading for their souls and for their spiritual eyes to be opened. It brings us great joy that you have a heart for their salvation, as God desires that all men would be saved and would come to the knowledge of Truth. (I Timothy 2:3-4 WEB)
Firstly, we want to remind you that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). We must always pray in Jesus' name, as He is the one who makes us worthy to come before God's throne.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your beloved Son. We bring before You these individuals who are dear to our hearts, and we ask that You would reveal Yourself to each one of them. Work in their hearts, drawing them to Jesus, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Lord, we ask that You would bring them to the Truth of the Gospel, and help them to receive Your grace by faith in Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB) Send laborers across their path, to witness and testify of Your love, and grant them the gift of repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 2:25 WEB)
Father, we ask that You would prepare good soil in their hearts to receive the seed of Your Word. (Matthew 13:1-23 WEB) Surround them with believers who would encourage them in their walk, and give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, knowing that they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6 WEB)
Lord, we trust in Your perfect will for their lives, and we ask that You would empower us to be a witness to them, that our lives would be a reflection of Your love and grace. Give us opportunities to share the Gospel with them, and the boldness to proclaim Your Word unashamedly.
We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
