Prayer for unsaved loved ones

jesus-prayer-09.jpg

Offered here as a courtesy, since I see people looking for this. Use as a guide, but really God knows what is in your heart. I have taken some prayers of others and added a little to it. He will hear you even if your words are not great. Trust Him, and just say what is in your heart.

Note:

Why are so many people still unsaved? Second Corinthians 4:4 tells us it is because “the god of this world [the devil] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

Once you realize it’s the devil (not your loved one) who’s the real problem, your first prayer step becomes clear. You must get the devil out of your loved one’s way. As Jesus said, “How can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man?” (Matthew 12:29). You can’t! So bind him.

Now, you may not be able to cast that devil entirely out of the situation, because your loved one may invite him back in faster than you can cast him out. But you can bind that spirit and keep it bound. It may keep you busy for a while, but you can do it.

Verbal (say out loud) Confession of Faith in God’s help to save loved one:

  • God is not willing that this person (name the person) perish, but that he or she comes to repentance – 2 Peter 3:9.
  • It is God’s will that he or she (name the person) be saved and comes to a knowledge of truth – 1 Timothy 2:4.
  • This is the confidence that I have in Him, that if I ask anything according to His will, He hears me. And I know that if He hears me, whatever I ask, I know that I have the petitions that I have asked of Him. I ask for him or her (name the person) to be saved, to come to repentance, and to come to a knowledge of the truth that can set him or her free – 1 John 5:14,15.
  • If it is a relative: I believe that I and all of my household will be saved – Acts 16:31.
  • I realize that I am not in a battle with flesh and blood, but I am contending against demonic powers, wicked spirits in the heavenly sphere, who are trying to influence and control the person I am praying for – Ephesians 6:12. Jesus said in Luke 10:19, “I give you authority and power over all the power of the enemy” and so nothing shall in any way harm me.

  • Whatever I bind on earth is bound in the heavenly realm, and whatever I loose on earth is loosed in the heavenly realm – Matthew 18:18.

Binding prayer (2 Corinthians 4:3,4):

Say, “Right now I bind the god of this world (Satan) who has blinded their eyes to the truth of the gospel, and I loose the light of the gospel to shine on them and open their eyes. You spirit operating in the life of my loved one, blinding __(name)___ to the gospel to keep __(name)____ out of the kingdom of God, I bind you now. I belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. I carry His authority and righteousness and in His Name, I command you to desist in your maneuvers. I spoil your house according to the Word of God and I enter into it to deliver my loved one from your hands.”

  • I pray that the eyes of their understanding would be opened to know the hope of their calling – Ephesians 1:18.
  • Lord, open their eyes to know You; open their understanding that they can understand the scriptures – Luke 24:31,45.
  • I pray for laborers to be sent into their path from the Lord of the harvest – Matthew 9:37,38.
  • I believe that I receive the answers to these scriptural prayers – Mark 11:24.
  • Lord, You watch over Your Word to perform it – Jeremiah 1:12.
  • Thank You that Your Word does not return to You void, but it accomplishes what You intend for it to do – Isaiah 55:11.

I ask all this, Father God, in the holy name of Jesus. And I cover myself, my household, all my family, extended family, and all loved ones with the blood of Jesus, asking you to bless and strengthen us with your wisdom, Holy Spirit, salvation, and deliverance. Amen.

      Print this prayer out and modify it to suit your needs. I will pray for your son, Hurley. God bless him.

      Do not worry mom…. your son is in good hands….his name is Jesus. :)

  9. This prayer is exactly what I need to pray for my family members that are not saved.
    Yesterday when me and my wife prayed God showed me that we need to do spiritual warfare, so we prayed that he will give us the right word to pray and fight.
    I really liked that there is also scripture connected to each section.

  10. Thank you for this. I was browsing to look for a prayer declaration for my family members. Im not a very mature Christian and I wanted a guide esp. from the Word of God to declare over my family. Thanks a lot!!! God is faithful and I wait to see my family as a whole serve the Lord!!

  11. Thank you Marianne and everyone else who is praying for my son Hurley! Thanks in advance and i will keep you all in my prayers.

    Peace and much love- Barbara~

  12. Hiya… I would like to ask for a prayer .. something simple and helpful for 3 children ? That they can practice on daily ? They are 14, 12 and 10. I am in much struggle with them because they are very strong headed and strong willed children… I kept on talking to them about Jesus and God.. and their laws.. and try to help them… but to be honest… sometimes… I feel like so alone because they are at their age most kids have no common sense or mind development enough to make decisions for themselves. you know how kids think in their own world. lol… But for two months they have been with their father for summer.. Eh… It kinda hurt me a lot when I put so much efforts and every best possible for them.. that they would call every women as their mother rather than their own real mother. * sigh * I have offered them to live with their father and adopt his girlfriend as their mother.. but again of course.. they refused.. and they wanted home. Boy.. I had to set my foot down with them.. and began to question myself couple of times if I am good enough mother or… they just do things to hurt me for no reasons. Mind you, I am a bit different on raising kids.. I gave them every truth possible on life, and everything..
    I have hurt my mother in past when I was in high school.. I remember so well.. that is part of reason why I understood and knows what to expect if my kids does the same. Eh.. Just will you please pray for them ? They are my flesh children.. but actually, I gave them to God long ago… and believes they belongs to him.. spite of their ” imagniary world ” and attuides.
    I taught my children never to share anything from inside the family to outside people because people would use them against me. Believe it or not.. Many people wanted my deaf children because they are rather unusual and intelligent. So, I had to protect at all costs. :/ I do not know what to do.. I feel very alone.. and eh… I also begin to forget who and what I am.. It changed for over two years.. I noticed myself that is no longer chatter to anyone. But mostly kept to myself.. and stay watchful and silent.

    Keep the children in prayers… and any prayer for them will be great to learn. :) Thank you.

    • Hi Tamera

      I will put you all on my prayer list. With children that age, you are now officially in the parental war zone that will last the next 10 years, will give you gray hair, stress you out, and make you 30 years older by the time it is finished.

      God bless your heart. He knows what kids are like now. Just leave them in His hands.

  17. This is such a blessing. My stepmom and I were trying to come up with a decree and with bible scriptures and this was such a big help. Thanks for putting your time and effort into this. May God richly reward you!

  18. I Just stumbled on this site and i love the prayer the word is sharper than a two edged sword so im awaiting God’s wonderful response and results to my prayer of faith. I too have been a bad witness to a loved one, and he too has (had now by faith) the hardest of hearts and horrible attitude, i know my battle wasnt with flesh and blood, but sometimes we seem to forget that and react in flesh and blood also…as a result i was bound by hatred and unforgiveness…but Glory to God in the name of Jesus that im free and i can prayer for my loved one in confidence.

    Thanks again

  19. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You
    :)

  20. I just read Tina’s words, and was moved because I to am praying the same exact thing in my life right now. My young son’s father whom I care deeply, is battling the same demons and strongholds in his life; I just wanted to know how its going, it meant so much to me to know there is a sister out there who knows what Im goimg through!

    • dear JD

      I have to leave it to people to post an update on the site, if they want others to be informed about them. I have heard from her privately, but cannot say, since she did not post it here.

      Just know that things like this can take a long time.

      Broken relationships due to sin are very painful. There is a moment when you just have to put it in God’s hands, and rest in Him.

  21. there is someone in my life who is going down the path of drug addiction his name is Dustin M. , right now getting high is all his future revolves around I know that at this point he is so proud and blinded that he doesn’t even see the problem. He has never known Christ personally but he has heard of him and knows enough information but he feels no need or desire to seek him out. I want nothing more for him to have a personal encounter with the holy spirit and for god to reach out to him, I am not in a place to try and reach out to him or really even talk to him. So I ask that you all pray for him, for god to miraculously intervene in his life. before he repeats the path of his father who was absent his hole life because of prison for drug dealing and using. his path is clear and only a miracle can save him. he is only in highschool and is about to graduate in a month or two, and can’t not be high for more then a couple days, and he is starting to go from marijuana to stronger harder drugs. please pray with all you have in you because thats what he needs a miracle. I am petitioning with god and the more voices the more powerful.

    • I have prayed ardently for Dustin and will continue to thank God for saving him and adding another soul in God’s Kingdom. Dustin will graduate in flying colors and he will be a mighty tool in the hands of God. Amen. Dorothy

      • thank you dorothy, for your prayer for others. It helps a lot when others join and and pray. there are so many needs on this website, it is barely possible to keep up with all of them, so the more help, the better.

  22. dear anonymous

    I put Dustin on my prayer list. I stand in agreement with you for his deliverance and salvation. I also pray that a real father figure will come into his life and make a difference for him. May God bless you and him, and protect you both.

  23. Hi, This has been on my mind for sometime and I have been praying and consulting with godly friends, but your prayer ties everything together so nicely, and puts in all into focus. Please join me in praying for a special friend who I know the devil has bound. I sense that he is searching, but pride, fear, past mistakes and the devil are in the way. I too have not been the best witness, but with God’s help I am trying to be from now on. He also has a nine year-old daughter who I pray for as she needs to have that foundation to face life. His name is Dave S. Please pray that the strongholds are loosed and that he really allows God into his heart, and in turn leads his daughter the way he should. He is a single dad. Thanks, and I will also pray for you all.

  24. It is not the DEVIL. Your friend is in the “TIME WARP”…..THE EARTH HAS SHIFTED, NOT IN 2012 BUT IN 2009 INTO 2010. IT IS ALMOST OVER. TELL YOUR FRIEND AND ANYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THESE CHANGES IN THEIR LIVES TO NOTIFY THE LEADER OF THIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW!!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA AS TO THE DEVISTATION THAT IS ABOUT TO COME IF OUR PLANET’S WATERWAYS ARE NOT CLEARED & OPENED AS WELL AS THE UNDERGROUND SPRINGS???!!! YOUR FRIEND SHOULD BE FEELING MUCH BETTER VERY SOON…..your friend is almost there.

  25. Hello Marianne
    I thank you for your words on your site and for the enlightenment.Please can you join with me in prayer so that I would receive the gift of a tongue to help me in prayer and also other gifts of the spirit to help me to grow spiritually and to be able to help others.Can you also join with me in prayer for the deliverance and salvation of my family members who are bound by demonic spirits and false religion.My father is bound to alcoholism and depression and my mother is a hindu and my sister a muslim.There is much demonic influence in the family.Please pray that God will transform me and make me a prayer warrior and use me for his glory.

  26. Thanks for this.

  27. my boyfriend doesent believe in god i pray that he finds the lord cause i want to marry him

    • dear demetria

      I am in agreement with you for your boyfriend’s salvation. He really needs to give his heart to God, before you marry him, so that the marriage will be successful.

  28. I am a single mom that is battling cancer and muscular dystrophy, and I’m in a power wheelchair. My kids have inherited my terminal genetic disease, so they are in wheelchairs, too, and my youngest daughter died in my arms from it. My oldest daughter also has cancer, her firstborn twins died in 2002 and her baby Ryan died in 2006. My little sister was murdered by her abusive exhusband on the 4th of July in 2004, and my stepdaddy had a massive heart attack and they had to load him into an ambulance during my sister’s funeral at her graveside, and daddy died, too. My only granddaughter was murdered at four months old on Valentine’s Day of 2007, and her murderer has not been charged, and my grandson, her brother, is suffering severe child abuse (third degree burns that needed surgical repair on both hands from being held under scalding hot water, thrown out a third story window 35 feet to the concrete parking lot that put him in the Children’s Hospital with a torn liver, and these are only two of the things that my grandson suffers at the hands of his abuser) but the CPS refuses to protect him. Now, the only family member that I have left, my brother, is dying of cancer, his doctors said he has three months to nine months at the most. I don’t know why God thinks that I can handle all of this, because I can’t. My faith is too new and I am not strong enough. My murdered little sister and I had became Christians just before she was murdered, we were raised in a cult, and we were best friends and roommates, and we found God together, then she was taken from me by murder. I feel so lost.

    • dear Rebecca

      Your note so shocked me. I have never heard of so many serious problems in one family. You have my love and prayers. How can I help you?

    • From your pathetic testimony it is apparent that there is a generational curse in the family which need to be rooted out. As a child of God you have that authority. Luke 10:16 says that God has given us not only the power but also the authority over the power of the enemy and nothing shall in any way harm us. Take this scripture and command the demons that are trying to steal and destroy your family. Stand up against them. Cover your family , your home and all your relations with the blood of Jesus . Seek forgiveness from God for all generation sins. Go through the site for self deliverance and deliverance from generational curses and may God help you and your family. Will keep you in prayer.

  29. Love it. I will be printing it out (when I remember to change my ink) and praying it for all the people I can think of to be saved. I know it’s not up to me who is saved or not, but I will try my darndest to help the friends and family I love and care about.
    Thank you so much for all the hard work you do with this site. It’s amazing. I’m addicted. lol
    God Bless.

  30. Hi Marianne & Cindy. Its me again :) i’m also addicted to this website. I need some help with confession and repentance. Now i have discovered there is a curse of ahab in my bloodline. My dad is clearly one and my brothers as well. I think my curse is due to theft. I remember stealing as a young child, this habit progressed into my mid teens. I started to steal money so buy porn, i had an uncontrollable lust. Now the money was from my aunt. The wrong person got blamed, another aunt of mine, now i realise my sin and deeply sorry about it. To break the curse i need to confess and repent. But do i confess the theft to her and tell her it was me and not the other? But if i do i will lose her, cos she is the only support i have now, she has only been a mother figure. How can i break this curse without hurting the family? But i believe this is the reason for all my turmoil. Very delicate situation.

    • Dear Sumil

      This happened when you were a teen?

      I would first tell your aunt (who is like a mother) how much you love her, and appreciate all she has done for you.

      You will always need her support and love and acceptance. You would be lost without the relationship you have with her.

      Then tell her you have a heavy burden on your heart, and you need to share it with her, and need her wisdom and advice, and forgiveness.

      then tell her what happened, and be sincere in your sorrow for what happened.

      You are ashamed of what happened.

      ask her to forgive you.

      Tell her you want to make everything right again, and remove any curses on your life coming from your guilt over this.

      Tell her you love the one who got blamed, and you want to see her forgiven as well, since she was wrongly blamed, which was your fault.

      tell her you love your family, and want the family to be happy again.

    • Ask God to give you the boldness to confess to your aunt. Also pray that God will make your Aunt’s heart to relent and forgive you. Tell God that you are sorry and to help you get rid of this habit. Bind the spirit of theft and lust in your life. They are evil spirits and according to Luke 10:16 you have the power and authority as a child of God to bind the spirits that are tormenting you. Command them to leave you and never to return. Cover yourself always with the blood of Jesus. God is with you. He will never leave nor forsake you. In times such as these, he carries you. God Bless. Dorothy

  31. Thanks Marianne. Yes it happen in my teens. I’m 31 now, i believe God has brought me here to confess to them. I had a great life, wife with kids etc until the wrath of God, now i know its all my fault, i have surrendered but i think the holy spirit is convicting me. Thanks :)

    • Sunil

      If she loves you, she will forgive you. My own son confessed to something that happened when he was a child also. Of course, I understood. I saw the grief on his face, and how mentally distressed he has been all those years, keeping a secret. He has been healing ever since. Just trust God on this one.

  32. Thanks for all the help. :)

  33. Pray for my 8 children–angie-justin-sarah-joshua-erin-arny-micah-jesse that God will reach them and give a a miracle in our lives. We all need restoriatin and healing of damage. We need a place of refuge and fr God to help us in this battle of enemies who try to shipwreck us and destroy us. It is time for healing and help.

    • dear Peggy

      I put you and your children on my prayer list. I pray that healing and restoration comes quickly to you. Know that God will be with you in the days ahead.

  34. prayer for my partner.

  35. thank you for the guide on how to prayer for salvation. My partner wanted to become a christian.I accompanied him to church were my sister used to go. The pastor said that a small part of india are christian and the rest are demon worshipper. Now he does not want to hear or send me to church.This happen a year ago.Thank you again for prayer for him.

  36. Thank you so much for above scripture and guidelines, if I could please ask for prayer for Louis my boyfriend (we both want to marry each other but is so difficult; christian & atheist, he grew up being christian) who is being blinded by the world god and thus bedazzled by worldly things and evolution please pray so that his eyes are opened and he can SEE and experience God’s love for himself!!

    • Dear Lize

      I put Louis on my prayer list for salvation. God bless you both.

    • Pray the salvation prayer that is on this website and believe that what you pray God hears and since it is scriptural God will bring it to pass. Read 1 Corinthian 7:14 and pray that God will deliver him from the god of this age who has blinded his eyes and open up his spiritual eyes that he may know the truth that will set him free. God bless.

  37. [...] He will hear you heavenawaits.wordpress.com [...]

  38. Dear Marianne,

    I’m so glad I’ve chanced upon your blog. I’m even planning to put up one myself.

    I’m currently involved in a sort-of relationship with a very troubled guy. He was raised alone by his mom and she is always busy with her career nowadays. His current stepfather is a really evil guy who is charged for attempted rape, and he doesn’t make life easier for the both of them.

    This guy considered me his best friend earlier in high school because I was very open to him, despite everyone telling me he was a problem. He said that he loved me a few months after we became best friends.

    My parents didn’t like him, also because I was raised in a Christian family, so I know they didn’t want me to have anything to do with him. Despite this, I began to love the guy and accept him for who he was. I began to feel pained everytime his problems haunted him. I decided that I would be his comfort and guide in his moments of darkness.

    When accepted Jesus as my Lord, I realized only God could do miracles in his life, if only he would believe.

    My friend says he believes in God, but I know there is a strong foothold on him. He is improving, but sometimes he goes back to his old ugly attitudes. Because of my newfound faith, I learned that I need to pray for him without ceasing.

    If anyone reads this comment, please pray for the lost and lonely soul of “Rjohn.” The Lord knows who you are talking about. I love him and I know the Lord loves him. May he be a true testimony of Christ through his completely changed character and so that his story may be another means to glorify God.

    God bless!
    Trishia from the Philippines

    • hi Trishia

      I put him on my prayer list. Your family does have a legitimate concern about him, so do not go forward with this relationship, until there is a good breakthrough with him.

  39. pl pray for my fiancee salvation he is non christian let pray for him that he will open his heart to gospel and accept jesus as saviour

    • dear Vennela

      I put your fiancee on my prayer list for salvation. Many blessings to you for showing such love and kindness to him for his salvation.

  40. I feel sorry for your “unsaved” loved ones, not because they are in any perceived danger but because they are subject to you and your fanatical delusions. The “lost” people are not them—it’s YOU. What you believe is fraud—and you wallow in the pus bucket of bronze age ignorance. The atheists are correct and you fundie Christians are insane—truly whacked out of your skulls.
    Pray all you want–there is no one to answer them, your imaginary friend doesn’t exist, nor do devils and demons or any other absurdities you credulously cling to.

    • dear Joe

      I am curious. If you are an atheist, why are you on a prayer page? What brings you here?

      • Well–the topic rings close to home as I grew up in a Christian community and family and as youth was forced to live under the yoke of strict Christian parochial doctrine. Make no mistake—I have no problem with YOU having your beliefs. I have a problem with you and people like you not being content to let the rest of us have ours. From personal experience I’ve been subject to badgering assertions that I’m lost, wretched, a fool, damned to hell. immoral. etc. etc.

        I’m so bloody tired of the arrogance, the condescension and the smug, sanctimonious attitudes of Christians who believe they reside on the moral high ground and I somehow need to be enlightened. You really are oblivious to how you piss off those of us who don’t belong your club by your incessant preaching threats. Just keep your delusions to yourself and leave the rest of us alone–that’s all we ask.

  41. Please keep Louis in your prayers! There seriously is a battle going on for Louis soul I sincerely believe that, to please pray that Louis eyes, mind and heart be opened to the existance of God and that he be filled with the Holy Spirit that God will intervene in his life. Nothing is too big for God! Amen! I thank you so much for this blog! THANK YOU! God Bless!

  42. Praise God for your life and coming up with this! For the past five years God has taught me about personal intercession, from experience of travailing to Scripture-praying…
    It started 5 years ago when i came across a very lost guy (even though his mother was a missionary and Bible woman). He is Yohan Jung. We never met in person but I assumed my part in his life as intercessor. every year he keeps contact because he doesn’t have anyone to pray for him and his addictions. I assumed he was living a double life. He confessed everything to me since his mother thinks he is fit to follow her into the mission field. i think she doesn’t have any idea that his son is messing up. connection with that man and hearing about his lostness (and sometimes he just exasperates me for being so perverted) brought burden and emotional strain (since he was a guy), but also a deeper understanding of the amazing grace of God and His great love through Jesus.

    at the latest, he has gone back to his country to finish his theology.

    Looking back, I thought of myself as a good person… but the truth was i was becoming prideful of being a Christian… i was becoming self-righteous. I was judgmental… or condemning. in God’s mercy, He opened my eyes to this sin by bringing me into a deep understanding of grace through lives like that of Yohan.

    To all, in this journey of praying for dear souls, I thank God because through our desire for their salvation, He replaces our hard hearts with a compassionate one… just as what He continues to do in my life~

  43. Brian needs to be delivered from alcohol and prescription drugs and needs salvation. He is sick in his body from the drinking and I believe there is a fierce battle going on for his soul.

  44. I have an incredible friend who is unsaved and struggling with commitment issues…he doesn’t believe he can promise the person he loves that he won’t cheat on them because he knows he’s weak in that area. He seems to believe there will be times when he absolutely will be powerless to resist temptation. It is threatening his relationship and threatening to destroy the lives of two people very much in love. Please pray for him, that God will work in his heart and open his eyes to the truth, and that he will come to salvation, only then will he realize true commitment is possible.

    • hi BHA

      We will agree with you in Jesus name for Clint, that he overcome this problem.

      He needs to examine his past and see why he is so scared of being faithful to a loved one. Maybe someone betrayed him as a child.

  45. Please everyone pray for myron fallen and nancy adams. They are my parents and I pray for unhardening of the hearts and salvation. In yeshua’s name. God bless Israel!

  46. Marianne,

    hello, was looking for prayers for unsaved loved ones and love the one you posted. I am ramping up my prayer life for these lately as I’m tired of seeing little to no progress. I don’t spend a lot of time on the internet since we have become grandparents raising a grandchild (she’s 4 yrs old), but I love looking for tools to help me hone my spiritual weapons. Was looking over a few other things you’ve written – and your comments to those who oppose what you write. You’re allowing freedom of expression – not found on the sites of many who don’t – and patiently handling those comments from the highly religious (“chapter! verse!”) who have not encountered the amazing and powerful PRESENCE of Jesus who softens that edge and brings true revelation.

    Persecution has always come from the most political and the most religious – it is no different today and will be no different in the future. Sad to say, just as the Pharisees thought they belonged to God because they led and taught in the church of Christ’s time on earth (and indeed, they held the Seat of Moses but abused the honor!), so there are many Christians now who also think they hold the keys to truth but do not understand the Scriptures or their power. Kudos to you for standing in love and answering those in love who are in error. I wish I had more time to engage in dialogue but I don’t, so I just wanted to commend you in Christ and say that, from your armchair, I know God uses your words to assist those who are leaning into the Holy Spirit, and those who think they are, but are not yet.

    And thank you for the prayer for the unsaved…it’s concise, affirming and gave me another kickstart.

    • dear foundbyhim

      thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I feel time is short, and the only thing that matters now is knowing Jesus. I have nothing to sell, as that would hinder what I am doing. the Love of God is free, and so is his truth. May all who come here be saved, and to God be the glory!

  47. Pray for a girl I know of named Sandy, shes hurt inside(alot by other people, if I understood what she told me correctly) and wont trust anyone except her close friends. She needs to find salvation and the LORD who can comfort her and restore her to her former glory. I love her very much and don’t want her to go to hell. So far i’m the only one praying that I know of, which means if I give up, its over for her. Please pray for her too anyone.

    • dear Mr Z

      I put Sandy on my prayer list. I have a loved one who is like her. If I did not pray for her, then she would have no one also.

      I pray she gets the peace, healing, and assurance she needs, and she is is saved, so that hell cannot have her.

      when 2 or more agree on something, then Jesus is in the midst of that prayer, and it will be done. the timing is up to god, so be patient.

  48. dear Marianne, thank you for offering your prayers to people you don’t know. Having someone praying alongside you when you’ve no one else to turn to, it means a lot to them, i’m sure.

    i had been dating a guy for 3 years now but we recently had to end the relationship because of him not wanting to stay committed anymore. He said doesn’t want to wait around for me to figure out what i want to do and how he is tired from everything. this was such a heartbreaking episode for me because i hear from God that he is the one and how God is using this season to prepare the both of us for marriage.

    please pray that he truly develops a relationship with God and no longer needs to rely on his own strength. also pray that God will give him a dream once again and bring him back to me.

    his name is Cris.

    • hi joy

      From what you say, it sounds like he thinks it is you that does not want to commit when he is ready, since he thinks you do not know what you want yet. Maybe he was ready and you weren’t.

      I would first decided why you want to wait, when he is ready, and stay in touch with him, and let him know that your long term goal is a permanent relationship with him.

      I will put you on my prayer list for a resolution to your relationship issue.

      May God bless you both.

  49. Hi Marianne, I ask if you can please pray for my ex boyfriend Keith, the father of my children who wants nothing with God or our family. Ive asked God’s forgiveness for living with Keith without being married. I pray that God reunites our family, His way. I claim the tearing down of all the works of Satan, such as unbelief, satanic worshipping and hatred, which the Enemy has built up in Keith’s thinking. I also pray that Keith’s conscience be convicted, that You Lord bring Keith to the point of complete repentance. I pray that God will send Godly people to surround Keith & communicate effectively with him. I pray that God will restore our relationship & bless us with marriage. I pray that Keith becomes a man of God, who will help raise our children in the way of the Lord. Father, I pray that Your will and purposes may be accomplished in and through Keith in Jesus name. Amen.

    • hi “Luke1827″

      It is a wonderful thing that you want prayer and salvation for Keith. I agree with you in Jesus name for this healing and sanctification of the relationship. I am putting this on my prayer list. I also have unsaved loved ones, and understand the burden.

      • Marianne, Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to pray for my loved one-Keith. You don’t know how much it means to have someone join me in prayer,especially someone who doesn’t even know me & still cares enough about other people to do this. I thank you Marianne. May God continue to Bless you!

  50. Thank you so much for this website, and thank God for leading me to it. Please help me pray for my unsaved son Brian. He is my only child and please pray. He is an adult now, but nevertheless my only child. He lives with a woman and she has a young son. So please pray for them also. Thank you so much. I know god is listening and His will be done.

    • hi Becky

      I put Brian on my prayer list for salvation. I understand. I have loved ones who are not saved. Sometimes, I think that is the greatest anguish a parent can have. But know that God has heard your prayers, and it is in His hands now. Only He can save, and he is faithful to his promises. I think God allows this heartache so we can feel what he feels for the unsaved world.

      Say the prayer on this page each day.

  51. Hi Marianne,

    I have a girlfriend named Sandya. She is a non-believer. We have been in love for 4 years. We told at Home about Our relationship. But at her Home they are looking for another guy from their own religion (Hindu). I have taken her to my Pastor to pray. He preached the Gospel to her. She believes that Jesus is God but not the only God. She believes that All Gods are one and all religion ultimately worship the same God. I even shared my testimony and what God has done for My family, how he saved my dad from Ulcer, My mom from Cancer and other miraculous things that Our God did in our lives. She gives ears to all that I say but still has not given her to Jesus. Please pray for her deliverance from the bondage of Satan. I know that it’s God’s Will to save her and now I am claiming that Salvation in Jesus Name. These days we are not even in contact as she wants please her parents by moving away from Me. I just cant accept the loss of her in my life. I need His Divine intervention in this. Please please pray for her Salvation and that She will come back to Me with Jesus as her personal Saviour. To Jesus Name be All Glory !!

    • hello Stephen

      it is a great burden when our loved ones are not saved. I am putting sandya on my prayer list for salvation. I will agree with you in prayer. be patient, she has a spirit of unbelief upon her. Try to stay in contact with her, and let her know you still care for her and are praying for her.

      • Thanks a lot, Marianne.. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.. Thanks again for being a blessing in many lives..

  52. Hello Marianne,
    I had a boyfriend for 3 months. He is not saved. When we first started dating I told him I felt guilty about dating an unsaved person and I broke the relationship off, not expecting to hear from him again. He called me back the next day and promised he’d go to church with me every week and try his best to get into it, and also make our relationship work. Well, things were fine up until a couple of weeks ago when he said he wasn’t into church, didn’t think he was going to change his beliefs despite his earlier enthusiasm, and that he felt that he had made his promise for the wrong reasons. Once again I told him how I didn’t think I could be with an unsaved person and broke up with him again. It was sad but I think he understood. We’re in the awkward casual friends after dating stage now and I have been praying day and night for his salvation. I know he has to come to Christ on his own, and whether him and I ever date again is totally irrelevant. I just want him to finally accept Christ. He is very scientifically minded and believes in evolution. He is a very nice guy and more moral than a lot of Christians that I know, and I guess he thinks that is enough. I wasn’t in love with him or anything, but I still very much care for him, and I feel such a burden to pray for his salvation; moreso than any other person I have ever met. I get discouraged and guilty from time to time, but I still believe God isn’t done with him. Please consider my ex in your prayers:)

  53. Please pray for my 23 yr old son Richie to come to repentence and to accept Jesus in his heart. He is a diabetic and he does not beleive that God is real even though i raised him in church. He is my only child. I just hope that someone reading this will agree with me in prayer for my son. If you just took a few seconds to pray for us even though we are strangers, I just know that God will bless you greatly.

    Thank you.
    The love of a mother will never die.

    • hi Roxanna

      You and Richie have my prayers. I have added you to my prayer list, and will agree with you in prayer. We all have unsaved loved ones, and having a child is especially painful, so we understand.

      Know that God will work out a plan just for him, so that he will respond. I see times of trouble ahead of us in this country, when many will have to turn to God for comfort and help, as he will be the only help available.

      I pray that our unsaved loved ones will be touched at that time, giving us the assurance we need of their salvation.

  54. Please pray for my husband Darrell to humbley come to Christ and serve God in action and not just in part time words. Our marriage and our family depend upon it. We need him to lead our home.
