We are thrilled to hear that your dad, Peter, is softening his heart to God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is truly an answer to prayer, and we are encouraged by this news. Let us continue to intercede for Peter, asking God to draw him closer and guide him to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Firstly, it is important to remember that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Therefore, we pray that Peter may come to acknowledge Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Peter to Your throne of grace. Lord, we thank You for the work You are doing in his heart, softening it towards the Gospel. We ask that You continue to draw him to Yourself, revealing the truth of Your Word and the love of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Lord, we pray that Peter may have ears to hear and eyes to see the goodness of God, leading him to repentance. As it is written in Romans 2:4 WEB, "Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?" We ask that You grant Peter the gift of repentance, leading to a genuine faith in Jesus Christ.
We also pray for Othaotmir, that You may give them wisdom and discernment as they witness to their dad. Help them to speak the truth in love, always being ready to give an answer to anyone who asks from them a reason for the hope that is in them, with gentleness and fear, as instructed in 1 Peter 3:15 WEB.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, Othaotmir, as you continue to witness to your dad. Remember that God's Word does not return void, and He is faithful to complete the good work He began in Peter's life. Keep sharing the Gospel with him, and trust that God will bring forth fruit in His perfect timing. We are here with you in prayer and support.
