New Life in Christ: Be Given Spiritual Life

Father, I pray for (name one or more) …

Be Given Spiritual Life

Save them by Your grace. Grant them new spiritual birth, that they be truly born again, for they can neither see nor enter Your kingdom until they’re born of the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:5; John 3:3, 5, 8)

Send Your Spirit to them, for He is the breath of life. May He come over them like the wind that blows wherever it pleases. Bring Him like the breath who entered the dry, dead bones Ezekiel saw in the valley. Draw the Spirit as the breath who will enter them and give them life. (Revelation 11:11; John 3:8; Ezekiel 37:5, 6, 9-10)

Pour Your Spirit upon them as Your gift, the promise who will indwell them. Put Your Spirit in them, and they will live—and know that You, the Lord, have done it. (Isaiah 44:3; Acts 2:38-39; Ezekiel 37:14)

Give them to Christ, because He receives those You give Him, and He will protect them and keep them safe. (John 17:2, 9, 12)

Breathe life into them, Your spiritual life, as only You can do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Help them to stand firm. In Jesus’ name, amen.
