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.

National Prayer Day
Today is National Prayer Day.
In 1952 the United States Congress enacted a day of observance which asked the people to spend time in prayer and meditation. Each year since, the President has signed a proclamation for National Prayer Day.
And while we don't rely on a single day for our prayer needs--we do want to take today to recognize the importance of prayer and be salt and light to those around us.
So join us today and ask the Lord to teach us how to pray.
Pray with us:
Teach us to pray--to know and understand Your many teachings on prayer. Make them a reality in our lives.
We know we are to ask for our daily needs to be met; help us to admit our total dependence upon our Father God, and to live according to the principles from Your Sermon on the Mount--that we might seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that when we do, our needs will be met.
Lord, help us to believe that God is our Father Who desires not only to hear us when we ask and seek and knock, but Who will answer our prayers, giving gifts that are more, much more than any human father would give. Help us to be sensitive to His most precious gift of all, Your Holy Spirit who lives within us, Who desires to fill us afresh every day, Who is our Spirit of prayer, and Who helps us in our prayer lives.
Holy One, help us to be sensitive to Your Spirit, Who convicts us of sins that can separate us from Your fellowship if left unconfessed. Help us to pray with humble hearts, in persistence, with boldness.
Guide our prayers and the motives of our hearts, so that we will not ask amiss. And when we grow discouraged, grant us the gift of Your faith, that we may rest in Your peace--for we ask in Your holy, righteous name. Amen.
