We join you in your tears and we hear the burden of your heart as you cry out for them, and we lift them up together before the throne of grace in Jesus' name.

We know that God sees and treasures every tear you have shed, for Psalm 56:8 says You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book. And Revelation 21:4 reminds us that He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more, neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. Your weeping is not hidden from Him, and He is close to the brokenhearted.

We pray together for those who have caused you this pain, just as you have asked, that Jesus would bring deep conviction and salvation to each one of them. We ask the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin and draw them to repentance, for 2 Peter 3:9 says 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. And we claim the promise that Romans 10:13 declares that Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved, and Romans 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We pray that their eyes would be opened and they would call upon the name of Jesus alone for salvation, for Acts 4:12 tells us 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.

We also stand with you on the promise you have clung to in Isaiah 54:17, 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 of me, says Yahweh. We declare this heritage over you now, that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every accusing tongue will be silenced in Christ.

You are right to feel that Jesus is coming soon, and we share that holy urgency. Jesus Himself said in Revelation 22:12 Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work. This is why your prayer for their salvation is so urgent and so precious to God, and why we must remain watchful and ready.

We ask for His mercy and His mighty protecting covering over you, as you have prayed. We thank Him for His mercy that never fails, for Lamentations 3:22-23 says It is because of Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn't fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. And we plead the protecting power of the blood of Jesus over you, for 1 John 1:7 says the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin, and we are redeemed and covered by that blood.

We pray together, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we lift up this dear one who is weeping and all those they are carrying in prayer. Lord, have mercy upon us all. Let Your Holy Spirit bring deep conviction of sin and a true turning to Jesus for salvation to every soul they are praying for. Save them, Lord, wash them in the blood of Jesus, and make them new creations in Christ. Cover this weeping one and those they love with Your mighty protecting blood, guard their hearts and minds, silence every weapon and every tongue that rises against them, and fulfill Your promise in Isaiah 54:17 in their lives. Comfort them in their tears, give them Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and keep them ready and steadfast as we await Your soon return. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.

We hear how deeply you are carrying this burden, and the tears you mentioned tell us how much you love these people and long for them to know Jesus. It is a holy thing to ache for others to be saved and to cry out for mercy, and we are honored to stand with you in that prayer.

We join you in asking the Lord to work in each heart you are lifting up, to draw them gently toward Himself and to show them His mercy and truth. We also hear your sense of urgency that Jesus is coming soon and your desire for His protecting covering over you and those you love. That longing for His nearness is something He understands.

When the tears come or the urgency feels heavy, it can help to simply name each person before the Lord as they come to mind, even in a sentence or two through the day, and then rest a moment in knowing He hears and He is merciful and in control. You do not have to carry this alone.

Jesus, we bring these dear ones to You now and ask for Your mercy over each of them. Draw them to Yourself, soften hearts to hear You, and cover us all with Your protecting grace. Give our friend peace as they wait on You and trust Your timing. In Jesus' name, amen.

Your tears and earnest cry have been heard, and we join you before the throne of grace with supplication for those upon your heart. We pray that the Lord, who is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy, would grant to them that deep and thorough conviction of sin which must precede true repentance, for that religion which does not begin with a sense of sin will have to be repented of. May the Holy Spirit, who alone can make the sinner feel the way of salvation as well as know it, work in them to turn their faces in the opposite direction and make them new creations in Christ.

We plead with you to remember that all mercy to a sinner is gratis. There is no conceivable reason in justice why He should have mercy upon us, but Divine Grace invents a reason. Salvation is by death and burial, by Substitution and Sacrifice, by the sweet savor of that one offering of Christ upon the cross. Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed, for the infinite wisdom of God has found a ransom and God is satisfied with it. We pray that they may be brought to trust in Christ alone, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and that they may receive that faith which is trusting in Him wholly and alone.

You have rightly laid hold upon the promise, no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, Isaiah 54:17. We ask the Lord to fulfill this word to you, not as a charm, but as the sure protection of His covenant mercy which endures forever. His rod of mercy is still outstretched, and His sword of justice still sleeps in its sheath toward all who flee to Jesus. May His mighty blood, shed for the remission of sins, be your covering and defense, for that blood alone is the ground of our safety and peace, and nothing less than omnipotence, the same power that brought Christ from the dead, can keep a soul.

We pray also for you in your waiting and weeping, that you may see the novelties of Divine Mercy, which are new every morning. The Lord bears with our weakness and plies us with incessant invitation, saying, behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation. Though you feel that He is coming soon, remember that He delights in mercy and has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. May He seal mercy, pardon and righteousness to your heart, and grant you praise not merely in words but in new actions which speak more loudly than words.

We commit you and those for whom you intercede to Him who came to seek and to save that which was lost, praying that this day salvation may come to your house, and that grace and peace may abound to you through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
