Dear Lord,
TY for your faithfulness throughout the history of man, + in my own personal life. As you know, my dear + only child + her husband need spiritual healing. It's a hard thing to understand when a child who was raised in the church is no longer convinced about your divinity + Jesus' sacrifice for our sakes. Those of us who are completely convinced of the gospel find it very hard to grasp.
If their eternal salvation were not at stake, I would not be so concerned. I am so grateful you are pursuing them. Please keep them surrounded by godly people who will reinforce biblical truths; help them to see your handiwork in creation + in their lives; remind them often of what cannot be explained by chance or evolution; and expose the works of darkness for what they are. May they reject all teachings with their origins in darkness!
Send them many kingdom connections to gently lead them back to you. Connect them to the two people from church you already put right in their neighborhood, + move other Christians in their neighborhood into their inner circle of friends. Lead them to a church that teaches the truth. So many have allowed false teachings to take root inside!
Awaken their spirits from deep slumber. Open their spiritual eyes, + unstop their spiritual ears to hear, recognize, + welcome your voice. Please open their hearts + fill them with your Holy Spirit. May they see evidence of your existence wherever they go, + not be able to deny it.
May they realize it is their responsibility to search for the truth + verify it for themselves. May they feel the urgency to investigate instead of just accepting what unbelievers say. May they never let their hearts be hardened + may they never willfully harden them on their own.
Keep them away from dangerous, ungodly people; dangerous situations; protect them from deceiving + being deceived; protect them from accidents, esp. disabling ones; from premature death, esp. in unbelief; from false teachings + false prophets; for accepting what the world declares as true + right, when the world loves breaking your laws; protect their hearts, souls, spirits, minds, bodies; keep them healthy in every way; protect their home, property + finances; shield their reputations, identities, credit, sense of safety, cyber security, etc.
Protect their health d/t a private concern you + I have talked about. Add several extra measures of protection to their cells so they are not altered + they do not get cancer, autoimmune disease, or other horrific outcomes. Protect them from the coming time of trouble. We are fast moving toward it.
Protect my relationship with them so the lines of communication remain open + healthy. Help me to witness by my actions, since she does not want to talk about religion. Give me wisdom on how to speak to them, + help me to always act righteously + in love. May what I say be correctly perceived by her, + never misunderstood, + vice-versa.
They don’t realize the eternal significance of the absence of saving faith. I know no one can come to the Father but by Jesus, + no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws him. Please pull them to you like a magnet!
Please uproot any weeds choking the truth. May they join us in the kingdom forever!
In your name, amen.
