Dear Lord,
TY for your relentless pursuit of your children, including those who get lost or struggle with believing in you. I know you are pursuing A + M, + I know prayer makes a difference. It's comforting to know our prayers hinder the demonic enemies we have, + eventually defeat them. Satan + his evil ones are no match for you, + your angels are welcome additions to the fight.
Stir your Holy Spirit to soften their hearts so they will be more receptive to the truth. May they start seeing signs of you everywhere-in your creation, in the miracles of daily life, in your protection of them, etc. May they not be able to forget this evidence. May they never see the world's wisdom as the correct path to follow in life; may they understand why your ways are so much better for us.
Put more people in their lives who shine your light. May more people witness to them of their faith. They need to hear your word; it’s critical. May A decide to return to church with me. If she could just hear your gospel + if the pastor could say some things that really resonate with her spirit, it might start something. I pray they will be motivated to search for you +/or read apologetics books. There's so much evidence, + you promise to reveal yourself to the one who seeks you earnestly.
May the prayers of your saints, the swords of your angels, + your Spirit defy the evil ones fighting for their souls. May A + M hunger + thirst for righteousness, + fight back too. If they knew the Bible, it would help so much. I will keep praying, + trust you to work in your own way. You've already calmed my spirit considerably, so I know you're working, + I TY for that.
Send them a kingdom connection-someone who has a faith as strong as T's; someone they respect tremendously, + someone who will help lead them back to you. Keep them away from dangerous people. Expose all false teachings + false prophets to them in a way they cannot deny.
Protect them from premature death; dying in unbelief; accidents, injury or disease, esp. the disabling kind; dangerous + evil people; loss of their livelihoods; reputation or credit damage; identity theft; property theft; deceiving or seducing spirits; false teachings; false prophets; or anything that leads them away from you. Keep them healthy in body + soul. May they not be forced into taking any unwanted medical treatments, + may they thoroughly research any that may be pushed on them.
Protect my relationship with them so the lines of communication remain open + healthy. Help me to witness in a way that does not drive them away. Give me wisdom + discernment on how to speak to them, + help me to always act righteously + in love.
TY for the people who are praying with me on their behalf. Please bless them.
In your name, amen.
