You Are Praying in Agreement with God’s Heart
Think what it will mean as God hears and answers these prayers. You’re praying His heart’s desire over the lives of the lost (1 Timothy 2:4)! If you’ve prayed one prayer a day, you’ve realized it takes only a minute or two. Keep praying through these prayers, each time adding your own prayers to make them even more personal.
Consider that Prayer Is More than Asking
The main purpose of prayer is to help us know God. To do this, we have to spend time with Him, just as we must with any person if we want to know that person well. (John 17:3; 1 John 1:3)
Begin Each Day with God
Jesus taught us that it is important to have some quiet time with our Father every day. Early morning is usually the best time, before we’re caught up in busyness. If this isn’t a part of your daily life now, ask God to help you begin with just a few minutes, and He will. (Matthew 6:6; 9-13)

New Life in Christ: Acknowledge Christ
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) …
As You are drawing them to Christ, as You are enabling them to come, give them the courage to step forward to make their decision known. Help them to acknowledge Christ before men, so that He will acknowledge them before You in heaven. (John 6:44, 65; Matthew 10:32)
May the day come when they will declare Jesus to be Lord, when they will openly agree that Jesus is the name above all names, the name at which one day every knee will bow in heaven, on the earth and beneath the earth—and every tongue confess, “Jesus Christ is Lord!” (Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:10)
Lavish Your love on them, that they may be called Your children. You have already demonstrated Your amazing love for them, for You sent Your one and only Son into the world that they might live through Him. Help them to receive His life. Give them a love for the truth, that they may be saved. (1 John 3:1; 4:9; 5:11-12; 2 Thessalonians 2:10)
Save them as only You can, through Your mercy and grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

New Life in Christ: Not Stumble over Christ
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) …
May they not mentally stumble over Christ and who He is, for He is a stumbling block to some and is like foolishness to others. It’s because they can’t understand; in their natural state spiritual truth is beyond them. (1 Corinthians 1:23; 2:14)
Give them the gift of faith, a measure of faith that will enable them to look to Jesus and believe in Him; if they do, they’ll have eternal life. May they come to know Christ as the resurrection and the life—for whoever believes in Him will live and will never die. (Ephesians 2:8; Romans 12:3; John 6:40; 11:25-26)
Help them to see Jesus as He is, Your Son, and to realize the truth that He died for their sins. Otherwise, He becomes like a stone that blocks their way, a rock that makes them fall, because they can’t believe Your truth.
Have mercy and as they walk in the dark, help them see a great light. May they understand that the brightness of Your glory is seen in the face of Christ, that You and He are one. (John 10:36; Hebrews 7:27; Isaiah 8:14; 9:2; 2 Corinthians 4:6; John 10:30)
Help them to believe. In Jesus’ name, amen.

New Life in Christ: Be Set Free
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) …
May these who need salvation be set free from the kingdom of darkness, from the law of sin and death. Bring them to their senses, that they may escape from the trap of the devil, who wants to keep them as his own. (Colossians 1:13; Romans 8:2; 2 Timothy 2:26; John 8:44)
Thank You that Jesus appeared on earth to undo Satan’s work, and that by dying, Jesus rendered the devil powerless. Jesus came to set the oppressed free, and when the Son sets them free, they are free indeed. May these in need of You know the truth—the way, the truth and the life!—for the truth will set them free. (Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 4:18; John 14:6; 8:36, 32)
Satan blinds the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel. I ask that You let Your light shine out of the darkness and into their hearts. Call them out of the darkness into Your wonderful light—for You don’t want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Corinthians 4:4, 6; 1 Peter 2:9; 2 Peter 3:9)
Set them free, that they may come.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

New Life in Christ: Know the Price Is Paid
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) …
I come on behalf of these who are not yet saved to thank You that the price has been paid for their salvation. Jesus has made the sacrifice, He has bought them with His blood—they just don’t know it, they have not been enabled to see the truth. (1 John 4:10; Revelation 5:9; John 6:65)
Help them to understand that Jesus gave Himself for them, to redeem them—He gave Himself as a sacrifice, once for all. Christ died as a ransom to set them free from their sins. He is able to save them completely, if they will only believe! (Titus 2:13-14; Hebrews 9:26, 15; 7:25; John 8:24)
They can’t accept who Christ is. He is like a stumbling block to them, until You call them, but if You do, they’ll see Christ as He is. Speak to them, Father, for everyone who listens to You and learns from You will come to Christ. Help them believe, for everyone who believes has everlasting life. (1 Corinthians 1:23-24; John 6:45, 47)
May they understand that the price has been paid, at so great a cost. In Jesus’ name, amen.

New Life in Christ: Be Willing to Repent
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) …
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.
