Praying for lost ones

Posted on by

“Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth (Psalm 54:2). Heavenly Father, You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13). You are the God who hears (Psalm 4:3). You are the God who is faithful to the generations of the righteous (Psalm 100:5). Oh, God I ask for Your mercy and kindness to be poured out on our children, their children, our families, and beyond (Psalm 112:1-2).

God please open the eyes of the ones who have run from You. Open the eyes of the wayward that they will find You, for You are The Way. Open their ears to hear You.

Father, I pray for Your spirit of wisdom, revelation, and knowledge may be poured out on them. I pray that the eyes of their heart may be enlightened so that they will know the hope of Your calling and the riches of the glory of Your inheritance, and the surpassing greatness of Your power toward those who believe (Ephesians 1:17-19).

Jesus, You are the Son of Man who came to seek and save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). Save them, Lord.

God, You search for the lost sheep and joyfully bring them home. You search for that which was lost and rejoice when found. Oh Father, joyfully bring home my lost loved one (Luke 15:3-9).

Thank You, Lord that You hear my voice and my cry (Psalm 116:1), Psalm 34:17). Thank You that nothing is impossible for You! (Luke 1:37). Thank You that one day we will rejoice along with the angels when our loved ones come home (Luke 15:10).

I ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, who is my Savior. Amen.

“Our loved ones may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons—but they are helpless against our prayers.” ~ J. Sidlow Baxter

“God brings about remarkable change in the world in response to the prayers of His people.” ~ David Platt

Praising prayer for peace

Posted on by

God how I praise You. You are holy, kind, compassionate, gracious, loving, and merciful. Thank You that You love me with an everlasting love and have drawn me with loving-kindness (Jeremiah 31:3). You created my inmost being and knit me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalm 139:13). You know the numbers of hair on my head and You have engraved me on the palms of Your hands (Luke 12:7, Isaiah 49:16).

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet Your unfailing love for me will not be shaken nor Your covenant of peace be removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on me (Isaiah 54:10). You are with me and are mighty to save. You take great delight in me; You will quiet me with Your love and rejoice over me with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17). You will make known to me the path of life and in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever (Psalm 16:11).

You, God, are gracious and righteous and full of compassion (Psalm 116:5).You take delight in me; and crown the humble with salvation (Psalm 149:4). In Your unfailing love You will lead me. In Your strength You will guide me to Your holy dwelling (Exodus 15:13). For Your eyes search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to You (2 Chronicles 16:9a).

You know the plans You have for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. When I call upon You and come and pray to You, You will listen to me. I will seek You and find You when I seek You with all my heart (Jeremiah 29:11-13). Before I call You will answer; while I am still speaking You will hear (Isaiah 65:24).

Your unfailing love is priceless and we find refuge in the shadow of Your wings. (Psalm 36:7) You are love (1 John 4:16). And Your perfect love is patient, kind, does not envy, does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it’s not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Your love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

Thank You, God, that “You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast, that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character, because he trusts and takes refuge in You with hope and confident expectation.” For the Lord gives unyielding and impenetrable strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace (Isaiah 26:3, Psalm 29:11).

You so greatly loved and dearly prized the world, that You even gave Your One and only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him as Savior will not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). Jesus You invite, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person and they with Me” (Revelation 3:20). You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through You (John 14:6). Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice in place of my sins so that I can be saved and have an abundant life. (John 10:10). Therefore, My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ and my heart responds, ‘LORD, I am coming’ (Psalm 27:8).

Thank You, Jesus that in You I have perfect peace and confidence. In the world there are tribulations, trials, distress, and frustration; but I can be of good cheer, take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted. For You have overcome the world, deprived it of power to harm me and have conquered it for us (John 16:33).

Jesus, thank You that You are with me always, remaining with me perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20b). You will give me rest. You will ease and relieve and refresh my soul. You give Your perfect peace. Therefore, I don’t need to let my heart be troubled, nor afraid. Your perfect peace will calm me in every circumstance and give me courage and strength for every challenge (Matthew 11:28, John 14:27).

Therefore, I don’t need to be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything, every circumstance and situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, I will continue to make my specific requests known to God. And the peace of God, that peace which reassures the heart, that peace, which transcends all understanding will stand guard over my heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).

Thank You, Jesus, that You sit at the right hand of God interceding for me. And nothing will separate me from Your love – not tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus my Lord (Romans 8:34-35, 38-39).

Therefore, “In peace and with a tranquil heart I will both lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety and confident trust” (Psalm 4:8).Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant me His peace (the peace of His kingdom) at all times and in all ways under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes (2 Thessalonians 3:16).

Praise You, God. I bring this prayer to You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your precious Son and my Savior. Amen.
