“…The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]” James 5:16b, Amplified.

For years you and I have been praying for our family to come to know the Lord. We never know how or when God is going to do it. All we know is He hears our prayers and sees our tears. One by one, we are watching Him save, heal and deliver those we love. One by one, God is going deep down and rescuing every single person we’ve been interceding for. They will never know how much we prayed for them. And to see God’s wonderful light in their eyes, and see them serving the Lord will bring great joy.

Let’s keep praying for our loved ones. God heard us the moment we set our hearts to pray. Hold on to the dream He gave you. Hold on to the prophetic word He spoke to you. He heard and He is going to answer our prayers in His perfect timing and in His perfect way. He has released the hound of heaven on them, is softening their hardened hearts and opening their blinded eyes.

In this evangelistic partnership between us and the Lord, it is important that we remember what God did for us. How He looked past our wrong and saw our need for Him. How He saved us at the right time. How He came in and washed away all our sin. How no one can tell that we did the things we once did.

Let’s remember how He removed the filth and robed us in holiness and gave us a new heart, a new mind and a new identity in Christ. Remembering this helps our heart stay full of compassion because we know what it’s like to be lost. Remembering this helps our minds stay humble because we did nothing to earn the great blessings God has bestowed on us.

The Lord will save our household.

None will be lost.

None.

Prayer: Father, thank you for giving me the strength to pray. Thank you for helping me to not give up on my family. I trust that you hear my prayers for my loved ones. Thank you for softening hardened hearts, healing wounded souls, and saving those who are lost. Do what only you can by saving them, Father, and help me do my part of trusting you and being your son and your servant. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
