Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with humble hearts, lifting up ###'s earnest prayer for salvation and for those who are unsaved. Your Word tells us in Romans 3:23, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," and we acknowledge that we are all in need of Your grace and mercy.
Lord, we thank You for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore our sins on the cross and paid the ultimate penalty for our transgressions. As it is written in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." We are eternally grateful for this act of love and redemption.
We pray for ### and all those who seek Your forgiveness and grace. Grant them the assurance of salvation and fill them with the Holy Spirit, as promised in Ephesians 1:13-14, "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory."
Lord, empower ### and all believers with Your Holy Spirit to do Your will and not their own. As it says in Philippians 2:13, "for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." May they be guided by Your wisdom and strength to live a life that honors and glorifies You.
We pray for the unsaved, that their hearts may be opened to the truth of the Gospel. Use us, Lord, as instruments of Your love and grace to reach out to them. As it is written 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."
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
