Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty Name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of Steven Bobb and his concern about the misguided thoughts and beliefs of unsaved individuals. Lord, we acknowledge that many people in this world are living in sin and are deceived by their own understanding. We pray for their salvation and for their eyes to be opened to the truth of Your Word.
Father, we lift up those who have lost someone close to them, especially if that person lived a sinful lifestyle and died tragically. We ask for Your comfort and peace to surround them during this difficult time. Help them to understand that it is not our own opinions or fondness that determines someone's eternal destination, but it is solely Your judgment and grace.
We pray for those who are still living in their unsaved state, believing that a person's goodness or the opinions of others can secure their place in Heaven. Lord, we ask that You reveal the truth to them, that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. Open their hearts to receive Your saving grace and lead them to repentance.
In Your Word, Lord, You remind us that salvation is not by works, but it is a gift from You . We pray that those who are misled by their own understanding would come to know the truth and surrender their lives to You. Help them to understand that it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have eternal life .
Father, we also pray for Steven Bobb, that You would strengthen his faith and give him wisdom and discernment as he encounters these misguided thoughts. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may be a light and a witness to those who are lost. Grant him the courage to speak the truth in love and to point others towards the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness. May Your truth prevail in the hearts and minds of those who are deceived, and may they come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
