We lift up this request before the Lord, recognizing that salvation is the most critical need for this individual—for without Christ, all other requests are in vain. The Scriptures declare that *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that true freedom is found, whether behind bars or in the world. We pray earnestly that this man would encounter the living God, repent of his sins, and surrender his life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. May the Holy Spirit convict his heart, open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel, and grant him the gift of repentance leading to eternal life.
We also pray for his circumstances, asking God to work mightily in his situation. The Bible reminds us that *"the king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). If it is God’s will, we ask that doors would open for his release, that justice would prevail, and that any unjust restrictions—such as travel bans—would be lifted. Yet even in prison, we pray he would find purpose in seeking God’s kingdom first, knowing that *"all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28, WEB).
Regarding his future, we pray for godly wisdom and discernment. If marriage is part of God’s plan for him, we ask that the Lord would prepare a wife who is a believer, grounded in faith, and committed to honoring Christ in their union. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and we pray this man would pursue it only in a way that aligns with Scripture—seeking a spouse who loves the Lord, if that is God’s will for him. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB).
We rebuke any spiritual strongholds or influences that may have led him astray, declaring that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). May the blood of Jesus Christ break every chain of sin, deception, and worldly ambition that does not align with God’s perfect will.
Finally, we pray for revival—not just for this individual, but for all who are lost in sin and bondage. May he become a testament to God’s transforming power, a light in darkness, and a vessel for the Gospel even in his current circumstances. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB).
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, interceding for ###’s soul and his circumstances. Grant him salvation through faith in Your Son, Jesus, and let Your will be done in every area of his life. If it is Your purpose, open doors no man can shut and bring justice where it is needed. Guard his heart from bitterness, pride, or ungodly ambitions, and lead him into Your perfect plan. Prepare him for a future that honors You, whether in marriage, ministry, or service. We declare Your victory over his life and ask for a testimony of Your grace to be written through him. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.**
