We lift up your ### and his family before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, knowing the spiritual battle raging for their souls. The Word of God is clear—Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which men must be saved (Acts 4:12). The Muslim faith, like all other religions, offers a path that leads away from the cross, away from the only sacrifice that can cleanse sin and reconcile man to God. We rebuke the deception of Islam in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is written, *"The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them"* (2 Corinthians 4:4). The devil has indeed worked to keep them in darkness, but we declare that the light of Christ will break through every stronghold.
We pray for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in their lives, convicting them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). May the scales fall from their eyes as they did for Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:18). Lord, we ask that You shatter every argument, every tradition, and every lie that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Soften their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Let them see the emptiness of their works-based righteousness and the sufficiency of Christ’s finished work on the cross.
We also pray for boldness and wisdom for believers who may have the opportunity to share the Gospel with them. Let the love of Christ compel them to speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), and may the Holy Spirit give them the words to say (Luke 12:12). Father, we ask that You would orchestrate divine appointments where Your Word can be planted in their hearts (Isaiah 55:11). Let them taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), and may they turn from idols to serve the living and true God (1 Thessalonians 1:9).
We rebuke the spirit of fear that may keep Christians silent in the face of opposition. We declare that perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18), and we ask for courage to proclaim the Gospel without compromise. Lord, raise up laborers for the harvest (Matthew 9:38) who will faithfully sow the seed of Your Word in their lives. May Your Word not return void but accomplish the purpose for which You sent it (Isaiah 55:11).
Finally, we pray for your ### and his family to experience the new birth—to be born again by the Spirit of God (John 3:3-7). May they repent of their sins, put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and receive the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Let them be transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Your beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). We declare that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in them (Ephesians 1:19-20), and we trust that You will complete the good work You have begun (Philippians 1:6).
In the name of Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the world, we pray. Amen.
