We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your loved ones who have not yet placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that salvation is found, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray earnestly that the scales would fall from their eyes, that the god of this world would no longer blind their minds to the glorious light of the gospel of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Father, we ask that You would shatter the deceptions that have taken root in their hearts, especially the belief in alien beings that distracts from the truth of Your Word. The heavens declare Your glory (Psalm 19:1), and every created thing points to You as the sovereign Creator. We rebuke every lie that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and pray that their minds would be renewed by the washing of the water of Your Word (Ephesians 5:26). Open their hearts to receive the truth of the gospel, that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, died for our sins, and rose again on the third day, so that all who believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
We also lift you up before the Lord, asking that He would deepen your revelation of His love. May you know the height, depth, width, and breadth of Christ’s love, which surpasses all knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:18-19). Remember that it is God who works in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). Cling to His promises and stand firm in the faith, knowing that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts burdened for the lost. We ask that You would break the chains of unbelief in the lives of these precious souls. Remove every obstacle that hinders them from seeing the truth of Your gospel. Soften their hearts to receive the good news of Jesus Christ, who died for their sins and rose again to give them new life. We rebuke every deception and false belief that has taken hold of them, and we declare that the truth of Your Word will prevail in their lives.
Lord, we ask that You would fill us with a deeper revelation of Your love, so that we may walk in greater intimacy with You and be effective witnesses to those around us. Strengthen us to stand firm in the faith and to share the hope we have in Christ with boldness and compassion. May Your Spirit move mightily in their lives, drawing them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ before it is too late.
We pray all of this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Amen.
