Someone you love does not know Jesus yet. These prayers are your way of partnering with God in the most important rescue mission in history.
Father, there is someone on my heart right now who does not know You, and the weight of that keeps me up at night. I love them, but You love them infinitely more. 2 Peter 3:9 says You are not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. So I am standing on that promise and asking You to pursue them. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior. Remove every obstacle between them and the gospel—whether it is pride, pain, intellectual resistance, or bad experiences with religion. Send the right person at the right time with the right words. If that person is supposed to be me, make me brave and give me wisdom. Soften the soil of their heart so when the seed lands, it takes root. I cannot save them. Only You can. But I will not stop praying until You do. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Lord, I am praying for the people who reject You not because of who You are but because of what Your people did to them. They were wounded by hypocrisy, judgment, or abuse in the name of Christianity, and now they want nothing to do with You. That breaks my heart and I know it breaks Yours. I ask You to separate who You are from what was done to them. Romans 2:4 says it is Your kindness that leads to repentance. Show them Your kindness in a way that has nothing to do with a church building. Meet them in the places they least expect to find You. Heal the wounds that religious people inflicted. Restore what was stolen from them—their trust, their innocence, their ability to believe. Send them genuine Christians who are honest about their own failures and full of authentic grace. Let them encounter You, not religion. In Jesus' name, Amen.
God, there are billions of people on this planet who have never once heard the name of Jesus. Not because they rejected You, but because no one has told them. Romans 10:14 asks, "How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" I am asking You to send workers into the harvest. Raise up missionaries, translators, and ordinary believers willing to go to the hardest places on earth. Provide the funding, the visas, the open doors. Protect those who are already on the ground in hostile territory. Give them supernatural favor with local people and governments. And for the places where missionaries cannot go, send dreams, visions, and divine encounters. You are not limited by borders or governments. Let every tongue and tribe and nation hear the gospel in their own language. Speed up what needs to happen. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Lord, 2 Corinthians 4:4 says the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel. I am asking You to shatter that blindness right now. Tear down every stronghold, every deception, every comfortable lie that keeps people from seeing their need for You. Let the scales fall from their eyes the way they fell from Paul's on the road to Damascus. Show them that the emptiness they feel, the thing they keep trying to fill with success, pleasure, substances, or relationships, has a name: separation from You. And it has a cure: the cross. I pray for a great awakening—not just a trend but a genuine, lasting revival that sweeps through homes, campuses, workplaces, and cities. You are still in the business of saving souls. Let this be a generation that sees it happen on a scale we have never witnessed. In Jesus' name, Amen.
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
"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."
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent?"
