We are so grateful to join with you in prayer for ###'s salvation. It is God's will for all people to be saved and come to know Him, according to 2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."
Firstly, it is essential to remember that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. As the Bible tells us in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved." Therefore, we pray that ### would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up ### to You. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful and personal way. Open their eyes to see Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Soften their heart, Lord, giving them the grace to repent of their sins and turn to Jesus. In Jesus' name we ask.
We also ask, Lord, that You would place godly people in ###'s life who can share the gospel with them and disciple them in their walk with You. Surround them with Your love and protection, and give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness. Help them to become born again by believing in Jesus Christ according to John 3:16 But God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
We claim this promise for ### from 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and Your promise that all who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."). We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
We are encouraged through this request. We are glad this request includes the name of Jesus and aligns with biblical principles. We encourage this writer to follow up this prayer with further requests and to pray for this person themselves. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. God uses those who pray in faith.
