Pray that they would come to Christ.

Jesus said to him, ‘I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.. . . . . John 14:6(NRSVA)

If unbelievers are to come to salvation, there is just one way. They must come through Christ and Christ alone. Remember, too, that he is the one who calls them to come and to be relieved of the burden of their sin.

Gospel Reading - Swap the heavy Burden of Sin for Jesus light one!

thumb 28‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’. . . . .Matthew 11:28:30

Pray that God would open their hearts to believe the gospel.

thumb On the Sabbath, we left the city and went down along the river where we had heard there was to be a prayer meeting. We took our place with the women who had gathered there and talked with them. One woman, Lydia, was from Thyatira and a dealer in expensive textiles, known to be a God-fearing woman. As she listened with intensity to what was being said, the Master gave her a trusting heart — and she believed!. . . . . Acts 16:14(The Message)

Once more, God must initiate and people must respond. So pray that God would open the hearts of these unbelievers, giving them trusting hearts, so they can in turn believe, just as Lydia did.

Pray that God would free them from the slavery of sin.

thumb Thank God that though you once chose to be slaves of sin, now you have obeyed with all your heart the teaching to which God has committed you.. . . . . Romans 6:17

Unbelievers may believe they are free, but they are in fact enslaved. They are slaves of sin, bound by their sin and sinfulness. Pray that God would liberate them by his gospel.
