Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Jon Cruz in prayer. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in Jon's life, that he may come to a full understanding of his need for salvation and total repentance. We pray that Your Holy Spirit would convict him of his sinfulness and lead him to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Father, we ask that Jon would recognize his lost condition and the danger of eternal separation from You. May he understand that he needs a righteousness far greater than his own to stand before You on the day of judgment. We pray that he would cast all his burdens upon Jesus, believing in Him for forgiveness and deliverance from all transgressions.
Lord, we pray that Jon would forsake all other hopes and confidences, drawing all his comfort and strength from You. May he live by faith, stand by faith, and walk by faith, receiving with his heart the grand truth that "He who believes on Jesus is not condemned" . Let this faith produce inward peace and real holiness in his life.
We ask that Jon would come to You, Lord, pleading the name of Jesus, and begin to cry mightily unto You for his soul. May he come to You as a sinner, acknowledging his guilt and unworthiness, but trusting in Your promises and the invitation of Your Word. We pray that he would be received, heard, pardoned, forgiven, and accepted in the name of Jesus.
Father, we also pray against any work of Satan that may be holding Jon back. In the victory of the cross of Jesus Christ, we ask that You free him from any power of the enemy. Let Your Spirit speak to his heart and bring an end to any binding or blinding work of Satan.
Lord, we pray for an abundance of grace for Jon, that he may overcome all temptations and that all things might work together for his good. Keep him blameless and harmless, a son of God, to Your glory, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation .
We trust in Your mighty power to save, and we thank You for hearing our prayer. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
