We join you in lifting up ### to the Lord, asking that His will be done in their life. We are encouraged that you have asked for prayer in the name of Jesus, as it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved. Jesus said “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” It is our heart’s cry that ### comes to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. For it is with the heart that one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth that one confesses to salvation.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### to You. We ask that Your Holy Spirit would draw ### to Yourself, opening their eyes to the truth of the gospel. We pray that ### would have a divine encounter with You, Lord, and that their heart would be transformed by Your love and grace.
We ask that You would remove any barriers or strongholds that may be hindering ### from coming to You. We rebuke any spiritual forces that may be at work to keep ### from knowing You, Lord. We ask that You would surround ### with believers who can help Your light to be shown and to guide ### to You.
We pray that ### would become a new creation in Christ, with the old passing away and the new coming. We ask that ### would be transformed by the renewing of their mind, and that they would no longer be conformed to this world, but be transformed.
We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, who was raised on the third day, and who is coming back again.
Amen.
Be encouraged, for the Good Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to seek the one lost sheep. The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Continue to pray and intercede for ###, trusting that the Lord is at work. And may these verses provide comfort and encouragement as you pray:
