What to Pray?
- Pray that God will open their Eyes and Minds “To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ Acts 26: 18
2. Pray that God will teach them to hear His word. “We must do what God says, standing strong in our faith, not wavering, for faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. We must let God do in our lives what he says he will do through Jesus Christ.”
3. Pray that God leads them to repent of their sins.“God grant them repentance, leading them to a knowledge of the truth, that they may come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will”. 2 Timothy 2: 25-26
4.Pray that God touches and softens their hearts.“I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.” Ezekiel 36:26 NLT
5.Pray that God bestows on them His everlasting peace.“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
6.Pray that God grants them grace.“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9
7.Pray that God gives them the wisdom to understand His word.“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”Proverbs 9:10?
God will do miracles as we stand in the gap for our families’ salvation.
Thank you for sharing your heart for Christ and the salvation of others. I have many unsaved family members and this is an encouragement to me today.
Thank you dear Patti.It is indeed sad..
In your writing, I sense the sweet calmness of the Holy Spirit coming through. It blesses me to read your words. I have a friend who I’ve prayed to be saved for many years. In his 70s now, his wife and daughter are longing for his salvation., and they are who I thought of and prayed for as I read your beautiful article. Thankfully, my family are all saved except my 11-year-old youngest grandson who I trust will give His heart to Christ soon.
Thank you very much Rosemary for sharing your experience.Praise God that all your family members are saved.Your little grandson too will be saved soon as he is watching the family’s example. We all should continue to pray for all our close ones. Thank you once again.
