My friends, how I wish with all my heart that my own people might be saved! How I pray to God for them! Romans 10:1 (GN)

Do you know someone you would, with all your heart, like to see become a Christian? Here are some things you can pray for them:

• Pray they will fall under the conviction of sin (John 16:8-11). Ask that they will realize the seriousness of sin and feel the weight of the offense it gives to God. No one gets saved until they know they are lost. People must feel and own up to their lostness. They must see the certainty of impending judgment. It’s like running out of your house in the middle of a cold night in your pajamas. It wouldn’t occur to you to do such a thing… unless you realized your house was on fire!

• Pray that Christ will call them to Himself. “The called” is a term used in the Bible to describe Christians. You can relate. You remember when God worked in your heart to bring you to Himself. He kept tugging at your heart. That was God calling you. (Romans 1:7, 8:30; 1st Corinthians 1:9, 24; 2nd Thessalonians 2:14)

• Pray they will respond to God’s gentle knock at their heart’s door. That they would hear and understand the good news of Jesus and accept His invitation for eternal life.

Today make a list of people you know (family, friends, business associates, etc.) who need Jesus. Pray for them along the lines of the ideas above.

Pray that God would draw people this Easter season in our communities to Himself as we haven’t see in recent years. Pray that they would respond to His call.
