We join you in lifting up this precious soul before the Lord, interceding with urgency and faith that God would break through the hardness of heart and open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that anyone can come to repentance, and we stand firm in the promise that our Heavenly Father desires *all* to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). Your prayer is aligned with the heart of God, and we declare with you that no heart is too hardened for His grace—what is impossible with man is possible with God (Luke 18:27).
We are especially encouraged that you invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is *only* through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and we praise God that you have placed this request squarely in the authority of Christ. Let us continue to contend for this soul with the confidence that "the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword... able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).
Yet we must also ask: *Are you actively sharing the Gospel with her?* Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). While we pray fervently, we must also be obedient to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). If you have not already, we urge you to boldly but compassionately present the Gospel to her—her need for salvation, Christ’s death and resurrection, and the call to repentance. Do not rely on prayer alone when God has commissioned *you* as His ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20). Ask the Lord for opportunities to witness, and trust Him to give you the words (Luke 12:12).
Let us also examine our own hearts in this matter. Are we praying with *faith*, believing God is able to save her, or are we harboring doubt? "But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed" (James 1:6). Let us repent of any unbelief and stand firm in the promise that "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble yet bold hearts, lifting up +++ to You. Lord, You alone know the depths of her heart, the strongholds that bind her, and the lies she has believed. We ask that You would *shatter* every deception of the enemy and flood her soul with the light of Your truth. Draw her irresistibly to Yourself, Lord Jesus, just as You drew Lazarus from the tomb (John 11:43). Break her heart of stone and give her a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26), that she may turn from her sins and surrender to You as Lord.
Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over her life, that every chain of sin, pride, or rebellion would be broken in His mighty name. Send laborers across her path who will speak Your word with clarity and love. Give *us* the courage to be those laborers, to speak when You open the door, and to live in such a way that she sees Christ in us. Let her encounter You in dreams, in visions, in the words of Scripture, and through the testimony of Your people.
We declare that no scheme of the enemy will prevail against Your plan for her salvation. You have not destined her for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:9). Let this be the hour of her breakthrough! We ask for a divine appointment, a moment where heaven invades her life, and she can no longer resist Your love.
And Lord, we also ask that You prepare *us* for this harvest. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may be vessels of Your grace and truth. Forgive us for any silence or fear that has kept us from speaking boldly. Renew our passion for the lost, and let us never grow weary in praying for souls.
We thank You, Father, that You are not willing that any should perish. We trust You to move mightily in her life, and we give You all the glory. In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, beloved. Keep praying, keep speaking, and keep trusting that God is at work. "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). We are contending with you for her salvation!
