Father, I pray for (name one or more) …
Unless You draw these who are unsaved to Christ, they cannot come. Except You enable them, they’re lost. (John 6:44, 65)
Because of Your great love and mercy, make these who are spiritually dead in their sins alive with Christ. Give them ears to hear and hearts to respond to the truth. (Ephesians 2:4-5; John 5:24-25; Acts 16:14)
Save them by Your grace—through the faith that is a gift from You. Help them to understand that they can only be saved by grace, the gift of Your unmerited favor, totally undeserved. Help them understand that they can never be good enough or work hard enough to earn their salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Rescue them out of the kingdom of darkness and bring them into the kingdom of Your Son. Make them new creations in Christ: give them a whole new spiritual life. Reconcile them to Yourself through Christ, so that their sins will not be counted against them. (Colossians 1:13; 2 Corinthians 5:17-19)
Draw them, enable them, rescue them. In Jesus’ name, amen.
