Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Rushsander and all those who have experienced the transformative power of Your grace. Lord, we thank You for the stories of those who have come to faith in Jesus after denying Him or having a hard heart. Just as Peter denied Jesus three times but was restored and used mightily for Your kingdom, we pray for those who are struggling with doubt and unbelief.
Lord, we ask that You soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of Your love and mercy. May they, like the judge who found peace when he cried out, "O God, for Christ's sake forgive my sins," experience the overwhelming peace that comes from surrendering to You. We pray that Your Holy Spirit will bear witness to the truth in their hearts, confirming their faith and drawing them closer to You.
Father, we are reminded of Your promise in 1 John 5:14-15, that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us. We ask that You bring those who are far from You into a solid, strong faith, and that You confirm in their hearts the position of faith by Your Holy Spirit.
Thank You, Lord, for the many infallible proofs that confirm the claims of Jesus. Help us to share these stories of transformation and redemption, that others may be encouraged and come to know the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
