Dear Lord,
It's so hard to understand how anyone could ever doubt who you are. Sure, we doubt other things, but how can anyone doubt you are God, or that your word is true.
I wish this particular problem were already solved, but I know I must wait on you to deal with this in your own way + time. At least I know I have to pray about it. A didn't tell me for probably a year or more, maybe longer.
I wish she would still come to church with me, at least so she could hear your word. I know your Spirit is still pursuing her + M, + thank you for that. I do hate that she is not hearing your word or sermons that she could probably relate to. I will appeal to you to find another way to make that happen, such as drawing them to a true church nearby, + giving them the desire to go. She thinks the church she was attending with me is not inclusive enough, which is not the problem The point is we cannot celebrate or affirm sins/sinful lifestyles that God forbids.
Unfortunately, the influence of our godless society has spread far + wide. It has affected her + M. I was not prepared. Since she doesn't want to talk to me about religion, I feel hamstrung. I pray you will change this-change her attitude so she will want to talk about you + will think about you all the time. Bring Bible verses to mind that she long forgot- for M, too. May they both ponder them at length + be moved to research what they mean. May this lead to an epiphany + their soon return to you.
If their eternal salvation were not at stake, I would not be so concerned. I'm not sure if she even believes there's a God at all, or just a higher power or some kind of intelligent design force.
At any rate, you know exactly what's going on. As you pursue 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 yo are and the many blessings you have showered on them; and expose the works of darkness for what they are. May they reject all teachings with their origins in darkness!
Put strong Christians in their lives + inner circle. Send them plenty of kingdom connections to gently lead them back to you. Connect them to the two people from church you already put in their neighborhood. Move the Christians in their neighborhood into their inner circle. May they all get to know each other well + may this facilitate their conversion.
May they hear the good news wherever they go. Awaken their spirits from their slumbrous state. Please open their hearts + fill them with your Holy Spirit. Open their spiritual eyes to see the truth + their spiritual ears to hear your voice. May their minds be opened to understand the scriptures.
May they realize it is their responsibility to search for the truth + verify it for themselves; this life is the only time they have to do this. May they feel the urgency to investigate instead of just accepting what unbelievers say. I know you will keep pursuing them; 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, etc. Keep them far away from the occult + any demonic practices.
Protect them esp. since they were recently exposed to a medical experiment that was rushed in its release. I dread the tho't of what the long term effects of this could be, + hate its connection to aborted babies. 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 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.
Protect their safety, security, finances, reputations, careers, credit, livelihood, etc. Give them a mind + heart that yearns for your truth! May the lights of others shine forth so brightly they’ll realize you are God! May nothing keep them from you. Draw them to you like a magnet!
In your name, amen.
