"At some point, every Christian has had a family member, a friend, co-worker, or acquaintance who is not a Christian. Sharing the gospel with others can be difficult, and it can become even more difficult when it involves someone with whom we have close emotional ties. The Bible tells us that some people will be offended at the gospel (Luke 12:51–53). However, we are commanded to share the gospel, and there is no excuse for not doing so (Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15).

........................................................

Dear Holy Father, each of us feels a burden in our hearts for loved ones who don't yet know our Savior Jesus Christ. Family members, friends, co-workers and others we know in life and care about. Father, we can become anxious that these precious ones are not saved and worry that we may spend eternity without them--Especially our children, who are yours but you've entrusted to us in this world. It hurts, yet we know this hurts you even more. Lord Jesus, you went through literal separation from the Father and laid down your life so all could be saved, if only they knew to repent and ask You.

Father God, we see the signs around us that as our world is dying, the time for grace and mercy is short. We know Salvation is an urgent matter in this time of the end. We even hear brothers and sisters in Christ comment they fear your return as they have loved ones who are not ready to meet you face to face.

First Lord, we are thankful for your Holy Spirit who guides us and gives wisdom on how to interact with our unsaved loved ones. You know the list of names for each of us. You help us pray for them that they find opportunity to hear your Good News. Thank you Lord Jesus for your gift of your Holy Spirit. Please keep our lamps filled and wicks trimmed. Remove fear, worry and anxiety from our hearts as this spirit is not from You. Help us trust in and focus on You. Our loved ones are in Your hands.

Secondly, Father God, give us the right words to speak with them. Let us take every opportunity to provide so we have no regrets. You gave each of us free will, so please prepare their hearts to receive your Good news, repent and receive deliverance. Let every word and all our actions point to Lord Jesus Christ our Savior, every single day that we have left in our lives and time left in this world. Let us, together with our loved ones, rejoice with You in the glorious life you have promised! We cannot wait to see our forever home with YOU, which will be greater than anything a human being can imagine.

We are forever thankful for our Salvation and eternal life made possible only through Jesus Christ. Thank you, Lord Jesus for your love and sacrifice to save us! We are looking forward to the glorious day when You return to rule your just New Kingdom and see You joyous that your faithful children have chosen YOU to be our King forever and ever! Praise and glory to our Holy Father and King forever Lord Jesus Christ! TRUTH and LOVE You are!! Amen! https://www.gotquestions.org/evangelize-friends-family.html

Prayer For Unbelieving Members Of The Family

Heavenly Father, we thank You for all our family members that have found peace with God, and who through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary’s cross, have made peace with You, and passed from the kingdom of darkness into the light of the glorious gospel of Christ. Lord, there is no greater joy than to know that our loved ones are born from above and are in union with Christ, members of the body of Christ and united as one in the Church of God.

But Lord, the glorious joy of loved ones saved by grace through faith, is counter-balanced by the deep sadness of those members of our family who have stubbornly refused to accept Your free gift of grace, or through ignorance or pride have walked away from Your precious promise of eternal life in Christ.

Look with pity and mercy on each and every member of our family who has rejected Your gracious offer of salvation. Convict and convince them of their need of Jesus in their lives, and bring them we pray, to the foot of the cross until they recognise that there is salvation in no other name, for there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved. Father, in mercy and grace, do whatever it takes to draw each member of my family into saving faith in Jesus Christ, to Whom be all honour and glory, both now and forevermore,

Amen.

Amen! That’s so right!

Prayer Of Thanks For My Salvation In Christ

Heavenly Father, thank You that You know all about me and that You even knew that one day I would accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. Father, I don’t understand this, but I do believe it because Your Word says that it is true, and that before the world began, You knew all about me to be Your child in Christ.

Father, the incredible privileges and tremendous blessings that are mine, simply because I have trusted in Christ Jesus are amazing, and I praise and thank You for all Your goodness and loving-kindness to me.

I pray that I may live a godly life that is pleasing to You, and that all I say and do may honour Your name, for it is such a privilege to be Your child and I want to serve You with my whole being. I ask that You would use me to tell forth the glorious gospel of grace to all whom You put into my path.

Father, so many are lost and weary, sad and sorrowing, discouraged and depressed, but I pray that many will come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and be adopted into Your family, and we will sing of Your praises throughout eternity for the amazing grace that You have shown to so many.

Thank You, Father, for adopting us into Your family and seating us together with Christ in heavenly places. In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Amen!

Dear Lord, so very many are lost today. They dwell in the darkness of their minds, blind to their need of You O Lord, and blind to the urgency of these last days. Please strengthen Your children and bless them with wisdom that they might be as Your Lights here in this realm of darkness, that through them the Holy Spirit might draw the lost to You, Dear God, that they might be saved. In the Name of our Precious Savior, Amen!

Amen. Thank you for breaking it down NEWwoman.

“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (James 5:16), and “the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer” (1 Peter 3:12; cf. Psalm 34:15). God indeed hears the cries of His children. We know what happens to those who die in their sins, and that knowledge alone should prompt us to pray incessantly for our unsaved acquaintances in the hope that they, too, will respond to God’s call and join us in heaven.”

Amen to your beautiful prayer! Praying in agreement. Holy Father we ask you send your Holy Spirit to convict our unsaved loved ones, so they realize they are living in their own power rather than in your will and plan for their lives. We know how much it hurts to think of them spending eternity away from us and especially apart from you. Our hearts break at the thought of losing our children forever, and know it hurts you so much more. Lord please make us better witnesses, diligent harvest workers in the field. In the Name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Amen SisterK, praying in agreement.

“Second Peter 3:9 gives us a glimpse into the heart of God toward unbelievers. It says, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” It is not God’s desire that anyone spend eternity away from His presence (Romans 6:23). Jesus Himself told us to pray that the Lord of the harvest would send forth laborers into His harvest (Matthew 9:38). When we pray for repentance in the lives of unbelievers, we are in agreement with God. We can also pray for opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus so that people can come to know His goodness (Galatians 6:10; Colossians 4:5; Ephesians 5:15–16). We can pray for boldness, like the apostles did, in seizing those opportunities when God makes them available (Acts 4:13, 29; Ephesians 6:19).”

Prayer For Intercessors In The Spiritual Conflict

Thank You Father for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to the ministry of intercession and we pray Your protection over each one, knowing that they are in the front line of a spiritual warfare that has been raging in the heavens, since man chose to rebel against his Creator, and Satan took the reins of power over this world system.

Help each one to recognize the significance of the spiritual conflict in which they are involved and we pray that they would be vigilant in putting on the whole armor of God daily, knowing that the enemy is seeking to destroy their testimony and cripple their effectiveness.

Direct and govern their prayers and intercessions and give them an ever present recognition that greater is HE that is in them than he that is in the world. May each one rest in the knowledge that the victory is secured the Lord, which has already been won at Calvary. May each one simply abide in Christ and remain faithful to their post, so that the Spirit of God may use them as a vessel to forward His plans and purpose in the world - until Christ is all in all. Thank You Father for the ministry of intercession and raise up we pray, many who will take up the baton of prayer, to Your glory, in Jesus name we pray,

Amen

FATHER, we pray Your Will be done; ask for healing of
our nation and suffering family members. Special prayers
You show justice for Veteran Daniel Penny, George Allan Kelly and those unfairly imprisoned in D.C. Please show them Your Mercy. As always, we pray for the brave men and women
who sacrifice greatly to keep our borders safe.

We pray you ingrain our spirit to remember “all God’s
Children have a place in the band”; we are family having
been created by You.

We value Your Wisdom in the presence of Donald Trump,
sent to save this nation founded in Your Name.
Thank You for all things, both great and small. In the
Name of Jesus. Amen.
