When thinking about family and friends who are living apart from a relationship with Jesus, it can often be challenging to know how to pray effectively without feeling discouraged. Simply proclaiming the gospel to those we love is sometimes not enough. One thing we must remind ourselves of is that the unsaved family and friends will not be saved by us alone. Nothing we do or say will save them without the Holy Spirit, who brings conviction through the Word of God. When the Word of God is preached, the Holy Spirit moves, and then the Father can draw people to Him.

God declares that He will feed His flock and seek the lost. It is amazing what God will do when we make Him part of our journey to save our family and friends. As part of our journey, letโs have prayer points to focus on. These prayers can be prayed daily, and I invite you to add names to them and change them to suit your situation.

โข ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ: Lord, I pray Ezekiel 11:19 over (NAME), and I ask that the Holy Spirit convict (NAME)’s heart to accept the truth of Jesus Christ. Give them a new heart and spirit, and remove their heart of stone, and give them a heart of flesh. Amen.
โข ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Yahweh Nissi, Psalm 57:1 states, โHave mercy on me, my God, have mercy on meโฆโ Today I ask that You have mercy for (NAME). Let (NAME) โfind refuge in the shadow of Your wings until the disaster has passed.โ Protect (NAME) from the enemy’s plans to steal, kill, and destroy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer: Thank You, King Jesus, for Your selfless sacrifice and for paying the price so that we can have eternal life. Thank you for loving us, Lord, that You sent Your only Son to die on the cross. Draw every unsaved person closer to Your perfect love, and we surrender them into Your loving arms. I pray for every unsaved soul to know the price King Jesus paid for our redemption and to bring them out of darkness and into Your marvellous light. In Jesus Name, Amen. ยฉ
