We join together with you in prayer and we are deeply encouraged by your heart for your parents and your desire to see God glorified in your family. It is a beautiful and biblical burden to pray for the salvation of our loved ones, for the Lord desires that all should come to repentance and truly know Him.
We are reminded of the heart of God in scripture where it says The Lord is not 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 Pet 3:9 and also that God our Savior desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Tim 2:4. Your prayer for your parents to have a real encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, to hear His voice and to repent is exactly according to His will, and we stand with you for their eyes to be opened. As it is written to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me Acts 26:18.
We also stand with you against every plan and deed of the enemy against you and your family. We know that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Eph 6:12. Yet we take comfort that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world and that The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thess 3:3. We pray that every satanic plan and intention would be defeated and that God would be mightily glorified as He protects and delivers you, for No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isa 54:17.
We also lift up your request for wisdom, protection, and a way out in every situation. We praise God that He promises If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5. We pray that He will guide you and instruct you as He has promised I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you Ps 32:8. And we cling to His promise that No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it 1 Cor 10:13.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You for our brother or sister who is seeking You. Lord, we lift up their parents to You now. We ask that You would sovereignly draw them to Yourself, that You would open their hearts to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and grant them true repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Remove any veil of darkness and let them truly know You and Your mercy. Father, we ask in the name of Jesus that You would defeat every evil plan, deed and intention of the enemy against this dear one and their family. Let Your power be displayed and let Your name be glorified mightily in their lives. Cover them with Your protection and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Lord, we ask that You pour out Your wisdom upon our sibling in Christ, that You would make Your will clear and provide a way out and a way through every trial and situation they face. Lead them step by step according to Your perfect will. We thank You that You hear us when we pray according to Your will and we trust You to answer for Your glory. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue steadfast in prayer and in sharing the love and truth of Christ with your parents with gentleness and respect, trusting that God is at work even when we cannot see it. Keep abiding in His Word and seeking His face daily, for He is your refuge and strength.
