We join you, Jayaenae, in praying for your cousin Angelo's salvation. It is wonderful that he once accepted Christ, and we trust that the seed of faith planted in his heart can be stirred once again. We stand with you in praying for God to encounter him powerfully and for witnesses of the Gospel to come into his life.
Let us remember the words of Jesus in the Parable of the Lost Sheep, "Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish" (Matthew 18:14 WEB). God desires that all should come to repentance and be saved.
We pray:
Father in Heaven, we lift up Angelo to you. You know his heart and his struggles. We ask that you send laborers across his path to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Break through the lies of the enemy and the strongholds of selfish ambition in his life. Remind him of the truth he once embraced, and draw him back to you.
We also pray for his lifestyle, that he would understand the importance of living for eternity rather than storing up treasures on earth. As Jesus taught, "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves donโt break through and steal" (Matthew 6:20 WEB).
Lord, we ask that Angelo would experience a genuine encounter with you, that he would be transformed by your love and mercy. We pray for his complete salvation and deliverance, trusting that it is never too late for anyone to turn to you.
In Jesus' name, we pray for Angelo and the rest of your cousins. May they all come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage you to continue interceding for Angelo, trusting that God's timing is perfect. As it is written, "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9 WEB). Keep sharing the Gospel with him and demonstrating the love of Christ in your own life. May the Lord use you as a vessel to bring Angelo back to Him.
