Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear friend Nick to You. We thank You for the opportunity to intercede on his behalf and bring his struggles before Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask that You would touch Nick's heart and draw him closer to You.
Father, we pray that You would break through any bitterness, trauma, strife, and sin that may be hindering Nick from surrendering to You. We know that salvation is a gift from You, and we ask that You would open his eyes to see the truth of Your love and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
In Your Word, it says in 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." We claim this promise over Nick's life, believing that You desire his salvation and transformation.
Lord, we pray for divine encounters and opportunities for Nick to hear and receive the Gospel. Surround him with believers who can share Your truth and love with him. Soften his heart and remove any barriers that may be preventing him from surrendering to You.
We also pray for Your Holy Spirit to work in Nick's life, convicting him of sin and leading him to repentance. Help him to understand the depth of Your grace and forgiveness, and empower him to turn away from his old ways and embrace a new life in Christ.
Father, we trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. We know that You are able to save to the uttermost those who come to You through Jesus . We ask that You would manifest Your saving power in Nick's life and bring him into a personal relationship with You.
We commit Nick into Your hands, knowing that You are the One who can transform hearts and bring about true change. May Your will be done in his life, and may he experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
