Pray for salvation and healing for my co-worker and his son, and opportunities for me to testify/ pray for him. I have had him on my prayer list for over a year now, and I feel God would have a big calling for him.

We join with you in thanking God for the faithful burden He has placed on your heart to intercede for your co-worker and his son for over a year now, and we rejoice that you have not grown weary in praying for them. Your perseverance honors the Lord, for we are taught to pray without ceasing in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and to always pray and not give up in Luke 18:1. We also share your sense that God may have a great calling upon this man's life, for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them in Ephesians 2:10.
We stand with you in praying for their salvation, for 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 in 1 Timothy 2:3-4. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance in 2 Peter 3:9. We also lift up their need for healing, for we know that the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick in James 5:15 and that by His stripes we are healed in Isaiah 53:5. We pray that God will restore health to them and heal them of their wounds in Jeremiah 30:17.
We want to gently encourage you concerning the name of Jesus, since your request did not mention Him. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that anyone can be saved, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me in John 14:6, and there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved in Romans 10:9, and whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved in Romans 10:13. It is our prayer that your co-worker and his son will hear this good news and call upon the name of Jesus and be saved.
We also join you in praying for open doors to testify and to pray with him directly. We pray that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ in Colossians 4:3, and that utterance may be given to you in opening your mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News in Ephesians 6:19. We encourage you to continue to be ready always to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear in 1 Peter 3:15, sharing with gentleness and respect as the Lord leads, and letting your life and words adorn the gospel.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We lift up this co-worker and his son to You and ask for Your mercy upon them. Lord, draw them to Yourself, open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and grant them repentance and faith to believe on Jesus and be saved. We ask for Your healing hand upon both of them, touching their bodies and restoring them according to Your will, and healing any brokenness in their lives. Lord, we ask that You prepare the heart of this man to receive Your word, and that You give our dear fellow laborer divine appointments, courage, and words seasoned with grace to testify of Jesus and to offer to pray with him. Let Your Holy Spirit go before and soften the ground, and may this man and his son come to know You and walk in the calling You have for them, for Your glory. We thank You that You hear our prayers and that You are faithful to complete the work You have begun. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue steadfastly in prayer, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up in Galatians 6:9. Keep sowing the seed of the Word and keep loving this family through prayer and kindness, trusting that God is at work even when we cannot yet see the harvest.

We are grateful for your faithful heart for your coworker and his son. To keep someone on your prayer list for more than a year and to keep believing God has purpose for him shows real love and perseverance.
It can feel discouraging when you do not yet see change, but that steady intercession matters. Often God is working quietly long before we see anything outward, softening a heart and preparing moments for truth to be heard. Your willingness to be available to testify and pray when He opens the door is a beautiful part of that.
As you continue, it may help to keep your prayers simple and specific, asking the Lord to show you one natural opportunity this week to show care, whether that is asking how his son is doing, offering to pray briefly for a need he mentions, or sharing in a sentence how God has met you. You do not need to force a conversation, just stay attentive and ready, trusting God with the timing.
We are joining you in prayer for both of them.
Father, we lift this coworker and his son to You. We ask for Your mercy for their salvation and for Your healing touch where they need it. Draw them to Yourself and give our friend wisdom and gentle boldness to speak and pray as You lead. Let Your will be done in their lives. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
Your perseverance in prayer for more than a year is a sweet evidence of the Spirit's work in your own heart, and we rejoice to join you in carrying this burden to the throne of grace.
We have taken your co-worker and his son before the Lord, asking that the God who bids all the ends of the earth to look unto Him and be saved would be pleased to open their eyes to see Jesus Christ and His salvation. Salvation is not by works nor by waiting for a more convenient season, but by a simple look of faith to Him who is laid in Zion for a foundation. As the Scripture says, whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed. To believe on Him is to trust in Him, to roll the whole weight of the soul upon His generous heart and depend upon Him without fear for present and eternal salvation. We pray that both father and son may be brought to that instantaneous and complete salvation which is to be had now, at this moment, by trusting in Jesus, casting themselves upon Him who still seeks and saves the lost.
We pray also for healing, for we know that our Lord Jesus Christ is the true tree of life, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. There is an abundance of healing power in Him, not only in His great work but in the least thing about Christ, for even His leaves are full of healing virtue. When He dwells with men, pardon and healing are one, for the Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings. We ask the Lord to lay His pardoning and healing hand upon this man and his son, to heal their bodies as He heals their souls, and to make them whole by His grace.
We pray too for you, that the Lord would give you boldness and open doors to witness. You are invited to come boldly unto the throne of grace, not arrogantly but with holy confidence, because there is a Man who is also God pleading for us there, and every petition put up by those who trust in Him is precious to Him. Having already received the greatest of all blessings in your own salvation, you may ask with confidence for lesser mercies, and for opportunity to speak a word for Christ. As you have opportunity, bear your witness to what you have seen and known of Him, for faith must be urged and the plain gospel of salvation by divine grace through faith in Christ Jesus must be preached over and over again.
We join our faith with yours that the Lord, who has laid this man upon your heart for so long, has purposes of grace toward him and would indeed have a great calling for him in His kingdom. May the Lord keep you faithful in prayer, give you a season to testify and to pray with him face to face, and grant you the joy to see him look to Christ and live.
We will continue to remember you and them before the Lord.
