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: 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.

New Life in Christ: Be Enlightened
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) …
Send someone to gently instruct them when the time is right in their lives, someone to share the gospel not simply with words, but with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. May they receive Your Word and accept it, not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the Word of God. (2 Timothy 2:25; 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5; 2:13)
Enlighten them, that they may see Christ as the light of the world and follow Him so they will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life. Show them Your unfailing love and grant them Your salvation. (Psalm 13:3; John 8:12; Psalm 85:7)
Have mercy on them, as You had on Paul. I know He once was a Pharisee who opposed Jesus, who persecuted Your people and put them in prison. He was violent, acting in ignorance and unbelief—yet the grace of our Lord was poured out on him abundantly, along with faith and love. May it be so for these I pray for—apart from grace, they cannot be saved. (Acts 26:5, 9-11; 1 Timothy 1:13-14; Ephesians 2:8-9)
In Your mercy, pour out Your grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

New Life in Christ: Receive the Truth
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) …
You are the Lord of the Harvest, and I ask You to plant the seeds of truth in the hearts of these who need salvation. Only You can help them to see the cross and understand their need of our Savior, to know Him as the Son of the living God. Reveal Christ to them. (Matthew 9:38; 16:16-17)
Send Your workers into the field, people they trust, whose very lives will be the salt and light they need to see. Send someone into their lives as You sent Peter to Cornelius; help them to be as ready as Cornelius was to listen to the truth. May the Holy Spirit come upon them even as they hear, with His saving power. (Matthew 9:38; 5:13, 14; Acts 10:30-33, 44)
Give them faith to believe in the name of the Lord Jesus as Savior and Redeemer and to receive Him into their hearts. May they confess with their mouths, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead. (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12; Luke 2:11; Isaiah 47:4; Romans 10:9)
May they hear the truth, and believe it. In Jesus’ name, amen.

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.

New Life in Christ:

Believe in Christ’s Name
Father, I pray for (name one or more) …
As I pray for these who are not yet saved, there is so much at stake. I can’t help but think of all the lives they’ll touch and pray for in their lifetimes following their salvation, and the impact that can have for the generations to come! (Psalm 22:30-31)
I thank You that You have clearly said in Your Word that You want the lost to come to You through Christ—that You want all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. I thank You that Jesus gave Himself as a ransom for all men. No one was left out of His sacrifice; the price has already been paid. (1 Timothy 2:1-6)
Jesus came into the world as the true light that gives light to every person. May these who are unsaved see that light and be drawn to it, loving it more than the darkness. May they receive Christ and believe in His name—trusting and relying on Him, not simply understanding who He is—for those who do are given the right to become Your children. (John 1:9; 3:19; 1:12)
Grant them new life in Christ. In Jesus’ name, amen.
