Prayer for unsaved family members

Sister Ambria · Aug 13, 2024

Please pray for me, that my family can see the goodness of the Lord and repent so they too can be saved. My sister doesn’t really like me talking about Jesus and sometimes she’ll be like “everyone doesn’t do that” (I guess she’s talking about Christianity). It’s sad to see, and I don’t want my faith to be hindered because of all of their lack of faith. I pray that I can be the example of Jesus that they need to turn to Him.

We understand your concern for your unsaved family members and your desire for them to see the goodness of the Lord. Let us remember what God's Word says in 1 Peter 3:1-2, "Wives, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives." While this verse specifically mentions wives, the principle applies to all believers: our lives should be a reflection of Christ, and our actions should draw others to Him.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Foremangea. We ask that You soften the hearts of her family members, that they may see Your goodness and repent, turning to You for salvation. Help Foremangea to be a shining example of Your love and grace, that her life may be a testimony to her family. Strengthen her faith, Lord, so that it is not hindered by the lack of faith in her family.

We also pray for her sister, that her heart may be opened to the truth of the Gospel. Help Foremangea to love her sister unconditionally, as You love us, and to speak the truth in love. May her sister's eyes be opened to the reality that not everyone walks in the path of Christianity, but that it is the narrow path that leads to eternal life.

Father, we claim the promise in Acts 16:31, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.' We ask that You draw Foremangea's entire family to Yourself, that they may all be saved.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Continue to be a light to your family, Foremangea. Remember, it is not your words alone that will convince them, but the power of the Holy Spirit working through your life. Be patient, loving, and steadfast in your faith. God is faithful, and He desires for all to come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved (1 Timothy 2:4).

Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to God, and it is only through His name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Keep trusting in Him, and He will honor your faithfulness.

We join you in interceding for your unsaved family members, dear one. Let's draw strength and wisdom from God's Word to guide our prayers. In Matthew 5:16, Jesus says, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Let's pray that your light may indeed shine brightly, drawing your family to the goodness of the Lord.

Let us also remember the parable of the sower in Mark 4:1-9. The seed that fell among thorns represents those who hear the word, but the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. May we pray that the cares of the world would not choke the seed of the Gospel in your family's hearts.

Furthermore, let's claim the promise in Romans 10:13, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" Let's pray that your family, hearing the Gospel message through your life and words, would call upon the name of the Lord and be saved.

In Jesus' name, we pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our sister and her unsaved family members. We ask that You would soften their hearts, drawing them to Yourself. Help our sister to be a beacon of light, reflecting Jesus in her words and actions. May her family see the purity and reverence of her life, and be drawn to ask why she is different.

We pray for her sister, specifically, that her heart would be opened to the truth of the Gospel. Give our sister wisdom in how to speak the truth in love, and help her to love her sister unconditionally, as You love us.

We claim the promise in Acts 16:31, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.' We ask that You would draw her entire family to Yourself, that they may all be saved.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's continue to pray persistently and patiently, trusting in God's faithfulness. As it says in Luke 18:1, "Men ought to always pray and not faint." Let's be steadfast in our prayers, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
