We stand with you in prayer and thank God for your love and burden for your parents and for your family, and we rejoice that you have asked in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father and be saved.
We hear your heart for your parents to truly encounter the Lord and hear His voice and repent, and this desire reflects the heart of God Himself. Scripture tells us that God desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:3-4, and that He is not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9. We know that the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, 2 Corinthians 4:4, so we must pray that God will open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins, Acts 26:18. Continue to live before them as a faithful witness, speaking the truth in love and letting your life display the transforming power of the gospel.
We also join you in praying for protection from every satanic plan and intention against you and your family. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places, Ephesians 6:12. Yet we take comfort that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4, and that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one, 2 Thessalonians 3:3. No weapon that is formed against you will prosper when you abide in Christ, and God will cause all things to work together for good for those who love Him, Romans 8:28.
We also pray with you for wisdom, protection and a way out in every situation according to His will. God 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. And we cling to the 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 Corinthians 10:13.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord. We lift up these dear parents to You and ask that You would mercifully draw them to Yourself, remove the veil from their eyes and ears, cause them to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and grant them godly sorrow that leads to true repentance and faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Lord, defeat every plan, deed and intention of the evil one against our dear fellow believer and this family. Let Your power be displayed and let Your name be glorified mightily in their lives. Cover them with Your protection, lead them in Your wisdom, and make a clear way out for them in every trial and temptation according to Your perfect will. Strengthen their faith, keep them from evil, and help them to walk in obedience and peace. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with other believers, putting on the whole armor of God daily, Ephesians 6:11, trusting that He who began a good work in you will complete it, Philippians 1:6.
