A Prayer for Loved Ones Far from God By Debbie McDaniel If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. - John 15:7 As believers, we know where true hope is found. We're incredibly grateful for the love and forgiveness of Christ. We've been set free; redeemed for His purposes. And yet, as most all of us know so very well, not everyone shares our desire to walk close and stay connected to God. Which often leaves us with an ache deep inside. The truth is: many are lost. Still wandering, searching, or drifting farther away from God.
God reminds us again and again that prayer is powerful. Praying God's Word over those we love is speaking His truth over their lives as it builds our own faith. A Prayer for Friends and Loved Ones Who Are Far from God:Dear God, We're thankful that you know our hearts, you hear our prayers, and you care about all that concerns us. Thank you that you understand these burdens we carry and how we want, more than anything, to see our loved ones come to you. Help us to remember that you love them more than we ever could. And that you desire to extend your great love and forgiveness to the deepest part of their soul. We are forever grateful for your healing power, for your gift of mercy, and your message of hope. Thank you Lord that nothing is too difficult for you. Thank you that your power is unlimited, and you came to set the captives free. Thank you that you wait, arms open, for the prodigal to return, that you look for his arrival to lavishly celebrate that he's come home. |
