Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of hope and longing for the salvation of our family members and community. Your Word tells us in Romans 10:13, "For, βWhoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.β" We hold onto this promise, believing that You desire for all to come to repentance and know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Lord, we lift up each of our family members and community members to You. We ask that You soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Let Your Holy Spirit move powerfully in their lives, convicting them of sin and drawing them to the cross where they can find forgiveness and new life.
As we pray for their salvation, we are reminded of Your words in Ezekiel 36:26, "I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." Lord, transform their hearts and make them receptive to Your love and truth.
We also pray for ourselves and other believers in our community, that we may be bold and loving witnesses of Your grace. Help us to live lives that reflect Your love and truth, so that others may see Christ in us and be drawn to Him. As it is written in 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear."
Father, we trust in Your power to save and Your desire for all to come to know You. We thank You in advance for the work You are doing and will continue to do in the lives of our loved ones and community members.
In Jesus' precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
