Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of Shatox and all those who are seeking salvation. We thank you for the powerful truth found in Romans 10:9-10, which assures us that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that you raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. We pray that you would open the hearts and minds of those who are searching for meaning and purpose in their lives, drawing them closer to the saving knowledge of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Lord, we ask that you would grant them the faith to believe in their hearts and the courage to confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord. Help them to understand that salvation is not based on their own works or efforts, but on the finished work of Jesus on the cross. May they experience the joy and freedom that comes from being justified by faith in Christ.
We also pray, Lord, that you would convict them of their sins and lead them to repentance. Help them to turn away from their old ways and to follow and obey Jesus wholeheartedly. Give them a hunger and thirst for your Word, specifically in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, where they can learn more about the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Father, we pray that you would surround these individuals with your love, grace, and mercy. Send your Holy Spirit to guide them, comfort them, and empower them to live a life that is pleasing to you. May they experience the transformation that comes from knowing and walking with Jesus.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and for hearing our prayers. We trust in your perfect timing and your perfect plan for each person seeking salvation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
