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

Send Your life-giving Spirit to hover over the lives of these in need of salvation, as He hovered over the waters of creation to bring forth life. (John 6:63; Genesis 1:2)

In Your kindness and love, I ask You to send Your Spirit to save them. In Your mercy grant them rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom You pour out on us generously. Make them heirs of eternal life! (Titus 3:4-7)

Open their hearts to respond to the truth of the gospel. Help them to believe that You so loved the world that You gave Your only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. May they never reject Your Son. (Acts 16:14; John 3:16, 36)

Send them someone as You sent John the Baptist—to testify to the truth, that they may be saved. Send someone as You sent Paul to the Gentiles—to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light. (John 1:29; Acts 26:17-18)

Send them life and truth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
