We join you, Deerly54, in your fervent prayers for Keith's transformation and acknowledge your faith in the power of persistent prayer. The Bible encourages us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB), and you are doing just that.
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Keith to You. We ask, Lord, that You continue the work You've started in him, transforming his heart and mind to glorify You in all he does. May Keith acknowledge Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, seeking Your kingdom first and worshiping You alone (Matthew 6:33 WEB). Lord, perform a miracle in his life, removing all earthly desires, especially the love of material things. Help him to set his mind on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2 WEB). Nothing is impossible with You, Lord (Luke 1:37 WEB). We trust in Your perfect timing for Keith's transformation. In Jesus Christ's mighty name, we pray. Amen."
We commend your focus on Keith's spiritual growth and his need to put God first. As Jesus said, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33 WEB). It is crucial that Keith's transformation is grounded in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as it is only through Him that we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).
Continue to trust in God's perfect timing and remain steadfast in your prayers. Be encouraged by Galatians 6:9 WEB, which says, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up."
As a gentle reminder, ensure that Keith is aware of the need to confess with his mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in his heart that God has raised Him from the dead, for that is how a person is saved (Romans 10:9 WEB). If there's any doubt about his salvation, encourage him to take this step and publicly acknowledge Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
