Thank you for bringing your concerns for your brother Andrew to our attention. We will stand with you in prayer and trust God for his protection and spiritual well-being. Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Andrew. You tell us in Your Word that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 WEB. We pray for Your divine protection over Andrew's life, that You would hide him in the shadow of Your wings Psalm 91:4 WEB. We ask that You would deliver him from any seen or unseen danger.
We also pray for Andrew's spiritual well-being. As Ted has requested, we ask that You would turn Andrew's heart towards You, that he may seek Your help and wisdom. Lord, You desire that all men would be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4 WEB. We pray that Andrew would experience the transforming power of the gospel, that he may be saved from the bondage of sin and have eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
We also pray for Ted, that You would give him peace and comfort during this time. Help him to trust in You and to cast all his anxieties on You, because You care for him 1 Peter 5:7 WEB.
In Jesus' name, we rebuke any spirit of fear and declare Your peace over Ted and Andrew. We ask that You would work all things together for good, according to Your purpose Romans 8:28 WEB. We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Ted, continue to trust God and intercede for your brother. God is faithful, and He hears your prayers. Remember the promise in James 5:16 WEB: "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective." Keep praying and believing God for Andrew's situation.
If Andrew is not yet a believer in Jesus Christ, it is only by faith in the name of Jesus that anyone can be saved. There is no other way to be saved but by faith in Jesus Christ and the New Covenant established by his death, burial, and resurrection.
