Father, I pray for (name one or more) …
May the Spirit convict these who are lost of their sin and their need for righteousness. In Your kindness, I ask You to lead them to repentance, to a new direction in mind, heart and belief. (John 16:8; Romans 2:4)
Grant them the repentance that will lead them to a knowledge of the truth, so that they may repent and believe the good news of the gospel—for unless they repent, they will perish. (2 Timothy 2:25; Mark 1:15; Luke 13:3, 5)
Send the Holy Spirit to help them understand that the wages of sin is death—and that they will die in their sins if they choose not to repent and believe. Even in the last hours of their lives, lead them to call out to Christ, like the thief on the cross, that they may be saved. (Romans 6:23; John 8:21; Luke 13:3, 5; 23:42-43)
May they understand that Christ died in their place, that He paid the price for all their sins, that He died once for everyone, that they have no other hope. In their understanding, may they believe. (Hebrews 2:9; 1 Peter 3:18; 1 John 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14; John 3:16)
May they turn to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

New Life in Christ: Turn to God
The following is a prayer in our New Life in Christ series. To read more, or order your own copy of one of our prayer guides, visit us here.
Father, I pray for (name one or more) …
Some of the unsaved I’m praying for are rich in many ways. That concerns me, because Jesus said it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. (Mark 10:25)
But how I thank You that when Jesus’ disciples asked in amazement, “Who then can be saved?“—He answered, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” (Mark 10:26-27)
The issue with the rich young man who turned away from Jesus wasn’t his wealth, but his attitude toward his wealth; his heart was the problem. Protect the hearts of these I’m praying for, that they won’t grow calloused through choosing not to believe. (Acts 28:27)
Enlighten them, for their minds have been made dull, and a veil covers their hearts. Help them to turn to You, for when they do, the veil is taken away. Give them hearts to know You, that You are the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:14-16; Jeremiah 24:7)
Bring them through the eye of the needle. In Jesus’ name, amen.
