We join you in earnest prayer for the salvation of your family, and we rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. The Scriptures declare in Acts 4:12, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Your faith in Christ is the foundation of your request, and we stand with you in intercession, trusting that God will draw your family to Himself.
The Word of God reminds us in 1 Timothy 2:3-4 that *"This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth."* Your heart for your family aligns with God’s own desire for them. Yet we must also remember that salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit, and while we pray fervently, we trust in His perfect timing and sovereignty. Your family’s current beliefs may seem like a barrier, but we serve a God who specializes in the impossible. Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, *"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."*
We encourage you to continue living as a light before your family, demonstrating the love and truth of Christ in both word and deed. Let your life be a testimony of the transforming power of the Gospel. As it is written in 1 Peter 3:1-2, *"In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear."* While this passage speaks specifically to wives, the principle applies to all believers—our godly conduct can be a powerful witness. Share the Gospel with gentleness and respect, always ready to give an answer for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15).
We also urge you to persist in prayer, for the Apostle Paul instructs us in Ephesians 6:18 to *"be praying at all times in the Spirit, and be watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints."* Do not grow weary in bringing your family before the throne of grace. The parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8 teaches us that we *"must always pray, and not give up."*
Now, let us pray together for your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister and their family. Lord, You alone are the Author and Perfecter of our faith, and You alone can open the eyes of the blind and turn darkness into light. We ask that You would soften the hearts of each family member, breaking down every stronghold of deception and religion that has kept them from seeing the truth of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Father, we pray that You would send laborers across their path—believers who will boldly and lovingly share the Gospel with them. Let Your Holy Spirit convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, drawing them to repentance and faith in Christ.
Lord, we ask that You would give our brother/sister wisdom and courage to speak Your truth in love, and to live in such a way that their family sees Jesus in them. Strengthen them, Lord, and fill them with Your peace as they wait upon You. We declare that no weapon formed against the plan You have for this family will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we trust in Your promise that Your word will not return to You void, but it will accomplish that which You please (Isaiah 55:11). We ask that You would bring dreams, visions, and divine encounters to each family member, just as You did for Cornelius in Acts 10, so that they may come to know You as their Lord and Savior.
We rebuked every spirit of blindness, deception, and religious pride that has kept them from seeing the truth. By the authority given to us in the name of Jesus, we bind these spirits and command them to leave in Jesus’ name. We loose the spirit of revelation, conviction, and salvation upon this family. Father, let Your will be done in their lives, and let Your kingdom come in their hearts. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith. The enemy may try to discourage you, but remember that *"he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6). Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep shining the light of Christ. God is faithful, and He hears your prayers.
