We join you, Anonymous, in lifting up these individuals to the Lord, interceding for their salvation and forgiveness. We appreciate that you acknowledged that salvation is in Jesus Christ's name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God and eternal life.
Firstly, let us remember that it is God's will for all to come to the knowledge of the truth. As it is written:
God desires for all people to be saved and come to know the truth. 1 Timothy 2:4
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, interceding for the salvation of these individuals: Benji, Trevana, Frank, the gentleman living across from us and his roommate, Savonna, Katrina, Mario, and Elizabeth. Lord, You know each person's needs and the depths of their hearts. If they are not yet saved, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to them, drawing them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
For those who are already saved, we pray for their continued growth and continued forgiveness, as we all fall short of Your glory and are in need of Your grace and mercy. Lord, we also intercede for all those in need of salvation, that Your Holy Spirit would convict their hearts and draw them to You.
We pray for forgiveness for the things left unsaid and for wisdom in our interactions to be more like Jesus.
Help us to be bold in sharing the Gospel, loving others as You have loved us. Help us to forgive as you have forgiven us. Unite us in our prayers for the lost and the saved. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
As we pray for these individuals and ourselves, let us be reminded of the power of forgiveness and the importance of sharing the Gospel, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20:
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us. We beg you therefore on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Remembering the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:14-15:
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
May we be vessels of God's love and forgiveness, pointing others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
If any of these individuals need further prayer or if there are any specific needs in their lives, please let us know so that we can continue to lift them up together. Keep praying and trusting in the Lord, knowing that His will is for all to come to repentance and be saved.
