Let us stand together in prayer for Ben, asking that God would reveal Himself to him in a powerful and undeniable way, leading to a transformed life and a deep relationship with Jesus Christ.
Let us remember the words of Jesus in John 6:44 WEB: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day." It is only through the drawing of the Father that Ben can come to Jesus. Therefore, we pray that the Father would draw Ben to Jesus, opening his heart and mind to the truth of the gospel.
We also pray that Ben would become a spiritual leader in his household, leading his wife and daughter to Christ. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 11:3 WEB: "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God." Ben has a God-given responsibility to lead his family spiritually, and we pray that he would embrace this role with boldness and humility.
However, we must also remember that true faith cannot be forced or inherited. Each person must make their own decision to follow Jesus. As Joshua 24:15 WEB says, "If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose today whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh." We pray that Ben's wife and daughter would also have personal encounters with Christ, leading to genuine faith and a desire to serve Him.
Finally, let us ensure that we are praying in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father. As Acts 4:12 WEB says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Ben and his family. We ask that You would draw Ben to Yourself, giving him a life-changing encounter with Jesus. We pray that You would raise him up as a spiritual leader in his home, guiding his wife and daughter to a saving knowledge of Christ. We also pray for Ben's wife and daughter, that they would have personal encounters with You, leading to genuine faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
