Praying for Unsaved Loved Ones
Having people we love who are not saved is a draining, discouraging, and disheartening place to be in. People who are in this position are in need of encouragement and a spur in their faith of their miraculous God. Thankfully, Jesus is the good shepherd. He leaves the ninety-nine and goes for that one who is lost; he is always waiting with open arms and unending grace.
Possible things to pray for:
· Adore God and remember His resurrection power
· Strength to shine Jesus’ light and be more like Him in your walk
· Have faith that God is not done doing his good work in us, including the lost
· Hope in work of the Holy Spirit, who was left for us and our guidance
· Choose to pray fervently and dangerously
Verses to share:
Matthew 19:26 (NIV)
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Psalm 9:10 (NIV)
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Luke 15:4b-6 (NIV)
Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home.
