This prayer guide focuses on the lost souls in your family. Particularly, those who have pushed you out of their lives. When this happens, the best you can do is continue to pray they will have a wake up call.
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4
New International Version
God wants everyone to have an opportunity to accept salvation. That is why we must do what we can, even if it is just prayer. I have family who is far from Christ and I cannot talk to them about faith any more. However, I can continue to pray that God brings someone into their lives that they will listen to or that they will have a spiritual encounter.
Join me in prayer; the following guide can help you get started.
- Pray that their hearts will be softened to the Gospel.
- Pray for healing of wounds that cause them to guard against Christianity.
- Pray that strong Christians who live godly lives will come into their lives.
- Pray that they will have spiritual encounters.
- Pray that they will be reminded of scripture that will guide them closer to God.
Never give up on someone who has abandoned the faith. Even though they may have shut you out, your prayers can shake their world. God can do wonders.
