For those who have unsaved loved ones joining in holiday gatherings this year, here are some specific prayers to pray on their behalf.
Knowing that our own testimony and the fruit of our lives are a powerful witness, we also pray to be a clear reflection of Christ’s love and His boundless hope for the future. As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians: My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).
Lord, help me to be an honorable ambassador of the King to my family and friends by…
…remaining free of any past wound or offense, walking in forgiveness and grace.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you (Ephesians 4:30-32). Also: Proverbs 10:12, 19:11; and John 13:35.
…seeing others as You do through eyes of unconditional love and promise.
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Also: Ephesians 1:18, 4:2-30.
…seasoning my words with grace, truth, and love.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen (Ephesians 4:29). Also: Colossians 4:2-6 and 2 Timothy 2:24-26.
…reflecting the power of the kingdom by serving others in humility.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life (Philippians 2:14-15).
…being the aroma of Christ to those who are lost.
For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. (2 Corinthians 2:15)
Lord, I pray for my loved one who is wandering and lost, that they would…
…hunger for the Bread of life and thirst for the Living Water.
I am the Bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst (John 6:35). Also: Matthew 5:6 and Psalm 63:1.
…long for fellowship that ministers to their soul and inspires their spirit.
Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands. Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees (Job 4:3-4). Also: Romans 1:11-12, 1 Corinthians 14:26, and 1 John 1:7.
…hear the good news of God’s love and His power to heal, set free, and deliver.
Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land (Proverbs 25:25). Also: Mark 5:19, Romans 1:16, and Romans 10:10-17.
…see the fruit of living for Christ and the joy and freedom it brings.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:15–16).
Also: Proverbs 21:21; Acts 13:47; 1 Corinthians 1:18; and 1 Thessalonians 2:10.
…receive a fresh revelation of God’s love and a personal encounter Jesus.
And they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world (John 4:42). Also: Job 42:5; 1 Corinthians 13:12; and 1 John 5:20.
As we purpose to reflect Christ in all that we say and do, may we:
- Be the light before preaching the light (Colossians 1:9-14).
- Look for ways to serve others through acts of kindness (Philippians 2:3-8).
- Verbally affirm and bless those who may try to discourage us (Luke 6:28).
- Turn negative situations into opportunities for blessing (1 Peter 2:11-12).
- Act as sons and daughters of the King (Philippians 3:20).
- Be carriers of His presence to transform lives (1 Corinthians 3:16).
For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessing on your descendants. (Isaiah 44:3)
Leave a comment with the first names of your unsaved loved ones and we will all pray in agreement with you for them.

Please pray for my loved ones that they would have a personal encounter with Jesus: Terry, Murray, Carol, Marilyn, Lynnette, Ryan, Stephanie, Brent, Ania.
Thank you for the prayers.
Also, may I add my prayer partners’ children on this prayer list: Prayer partner M’s children and their spouses: A and K, T and E they are not believers, are not walking with the Lord. Prayer partner J’s daughter and son in law A and S are not walking with the Lord, in a wrong church. Also, my exhusband’s siblings, they were brought up in a Catholic family, even though for decades they didnot step in a Catholic church, but in their mind they always a Catholic, very hard to get them changed. Please bear with me if I didn’t know any better.
I am praying for all of them and you! I pray that our Lord will open their eyes and touch their hearts. Bless you! Amen.
Will pray for Christopher that God will bless him with many wonderful friendships in Him. Praying the Lord will lead him to
a body of believers where he can grow in grace and knowledge. Praying for his encouragement that he will know the Lord has good plans for him.
Please pray for my youngest brother Ming-Li about 62, He swallowed my parent’s house that they left for us four children, his wife is a Buddhist and my other younger brother Ming-Shin has been in Alaska prison for 29 years and still a long time to go. He voluntarily wanted to stay in a segregated room for this long already. Sorry that my family has so much shame and trouble, I’d very appreciate your prayers for their salvation and their lives. Thank you.
Please pray for my exhusband James and for my son Christopher, my son Christopher 41 has received Christ but he is lonely.
Will pray for Christopher that God will bless him with many wonderful friendships in Him. Praying the Lord will lead him to
a body of believers where he can grow in grace and knowledge. Praying for his encouragement that he will know the Lord has good plans for him.
Thank you for the encouraging prayers for our unsaved loved ones. I ask to add in prayer: my brother Franz, my sisters Annalies, Hedy, Hildegard and Rosmarie and their spouses and children’s families to find their way back to the Lord Jesus and enjoy the hope, peace and encouragement from a relationship with Him.
May God grant the requests that were mentioned on previous mails, and grant you all a blessed and healthy New Year!
I agree with you for the return of your (God’s!) prodigals, and for the whole house of the Lord to return to Him! Greater is Jesus Christ in each of our seed than he that is int he world! Thank You Jesus for hearing our prayers, and for causing all of our offspring to hear ONLY Your voice Holy Spirit! In Jesus name, Amen!

Susan, we are standing with you in prayer for your loved ones. May each one receive Jesus as Lord.
Heavenly Father, I come to you to ask that you touch the hearts of all the family and loved ones listed here and that you would remove the wool from their eyes. Lord Jesus, please have mercy on them and reveal to them your glory and grace that they may be saved and come into your love. Please watch over and protect them and soften their hearts to you.

Thank you for your prayers and I will keep all of your family and loved ones in mine.
Amen and amen.
Elle: we pray in agreement with you for each person you mentioned plus all the others here, as well as my own family and friends.
Father, we thank You for those who are passionate about the spiritual well-being of their loved ones and have been lifting up the matter of salvation and transformation to Your throne of grace. We come against the blinders that are on the eyes of those who have not yet awakened to Your presence, Your power and Your love. We command those blinders to be gone and forbid them to return and we speak the light of the glorious gospel in the face of JESUS, the Anointed into the hearts of each one so that according to the riches of Your glory, each is strengthened with might by Your Spirit in the inner man. We declare over each of them that You have given to each the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You through Your Son. We declare also that the eyes of their and our understanding are enlightened; that they/we may know what is the hope of their/our callings, the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of Your mighty power, which You wrought in Christ, when You raised Him from the dead, and set Him at Your own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: Ephesians 1 & 3)
We also pray that each might walk worthy of You Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of You–the GREAT I AM; sttrengthened with all might, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; giving thanks to You Father, who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of Your dear Son: in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins…(Colossians 1:10-14)
I also add to this aforementioned list and any subsequently added ones submitted by these intercessors, all the local, state and federal leaders, particularly all members in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, the Administration, Judiciary and all adjunct agencies as well as those who have turned away from You, Loving FATHER, because of hypocrisy and unforgiveness toward those who call themselves Christian. Thank You, LORD and thanks to the staff and associates of ifa for giving generously of their time & talent to this cause. In JESUS’ Holy Name we pray. AMEN.
Mrs. D: Amen and amen! I prayed your prayer for all mentioned.
I have added my voice to the voices of my brothers and sisters here on behalf of all loved ones and government officials on all levels…with one voice we pray in agreement all the prayers listed here on this post. Glory to God in the Highest! Praise You Father, praise you Jesus, and praise You Holy Spirit for working mightily in the hearts and lives of ALL those mentioned in this post. Thank You Jesus that YOU are greater in each of us and in all of our prodigals and loved ones and households and families than he that is in the world! We declare the victory of the cross and the name and blood of Jesus over every single person and situation mentioned here, in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen! It is finished. Thank You Lord!
Amen! I agree with the scripture prayed for not only the saints, unbelievers and those in authority over us, but that the Holy Spirit would pour out over theUSA and cause us to be a light to the world. That millions of souls will come to Christ in 2019. I ask especially for salvation to penetrate into the hearts of my Mom, brother, Aunt & cousin. In Jesus’s name. Nothing is too hard for you Lord.
Please agree with me for return of my prodigals: Shawna, Morgan, Lydia, Rob, Tim. Thanks so much!
I agree with you for the return of your (God’s!) prodigals, and for the whole house of the Lord to return to Him! Greater is Jesus Christ in each of our seed than he that is int he world!

Thank you Father for bringing light..the light shines in the darkness..it cannot be overcome!….Return prodigals…Blind eyes see in Jesus name!…FOR MY LOST DAUGHTER..AND ALL IN NEED OF YOU Jesus!..in the name above every name Jesus we pray!

Aaron, Brett, Ashton, and Camilla Barrington…all to be filled with Holy Spirit as the Lord promised me in 1995. Come on Lord! Just do it! Please stand with me…it’s been a long, long time Lord! Thank You Jesus.

Thanks for your help!
Erin, we are standing with you in prayer for Anne.
I love all of these prayers. I love the Informer and the prayer community it provides. My son, Sean, and his wife, Erica, are heavy on my heart. They are not saved and are walking in darkness. It is so difficult to see loved ones floundering around in the darkness when the light is so close. Sean is a drug addict and possibly an alcoholic. He has two beautiful sons which I don’t get to see often. I have been wanting to have them over and it hasn’t happened. So hard. Then I ran into them at a store near my home but they were too busy—. They live about 50 minutes away from me. Very difficult. Show me what to pray, Lord, to turn this family to your light. I consider myself a prayer warrior but I sure do need prayer for myself and this family now.
Janet, I think you put into words what many intercessors feel. We intercede for others and for our nation, but we also have personal prayer needs. I am praying for Sean, Erica, and their children and for you as you love them.
Praying for each request. Brings tears to my eyes. God’s love for these people is so great. May the harvest be great as well and we rejoice as they all come “home” to him. God bless them all with the Light of Life.
Donna, I agree! On behalf of the entire staff of Intercessors for America, I thank you for your prayers for each person who has posted.
Thank you so much! Please pray for my children, their spouses & their children. Especially pray for my oldest, Jesse, who has turned away from God. My others are Jenna & Jamie, Chris & Rosanna, Stephanie & my 9 grandchildren. May God bless you for your kindness.
Donna, I have prayed for each of your listed family members. Please be encouraged. I have been by all of these postings. There is about to be a mighty move of God, especially since we are all in agreement.
I lift up my nephew Justin, who has accepted Christ as Savior but has never made him Lord. In Jesus name, Amen
Felicia, we are praying with you for Justin. May he surrender fully to the lordship of Christ.
Thank you for praying! I appreciate it so much!
Thank you for this wonderful format to pray for all these unsaved loved ones that are held in mother’s hearts. Please pray for my unsaved children Bryan, Paul, Katherine, and Amos. Thank you and may God bless you.
Lord, thank you for Peggy. Please save Bryan, Paul, Katherine, and Amos. Encourage Peggy that You are at work in their lives.
Peggy, I have prayed for each of your family members. Be encouraged. You are not alone and God is moving.
My daughters Tabitha and Tranaya, my son Tim and their children are not walking with the Lord. There is alcoholism and drug addiction that I am praying against. No weapons formed against them will prosper. I’m a praying mom and grandma glory be to God who hears prayers, sees the tears and never leaves me nor forsakes me. I am believing for their deliverance and salvation in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
Carmen, I am praying with you! So many of us have loved ones struggling with addiction. Our God is stronger! I pray for Tabitha, Tranaya, Tim and their children–Lord, break the chains that bind them and draw them to You. Surround them with Your love. Deliver them to You. Encourage Carmen today and throughout this Christmas holiday.
Dear Lord, Please bless, and open the eyes and hearts of my kin, that they may know you and love you fully. They are Wendy, Jerry, Melody, Beni, Ruth, and Butch. Thank you, Jesus!
Father God, draw Wendy, Jerry, Melody, Beni, Ruth, and Butch to you. Thank you for Janet, encourage her as she waits on You.
Please pray for Vicki and also Frost. Both are filled with anger and
unforgiveness. “Call to me and I will answer you” (Jeremiah 33:3)
I believe! Thank you for your prayers
Jan, we pray that Vicki and Frost would experience the healing of Christ in their souls, for compassion and mercy to displace anger and for forgiveness.
Went through these prayer requests and called them all by name✝️…. believing in open heavens and the glory of God to touch each one🙏🏻We know He came for the lost! Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, for He hears our prayers and answers! He is our Rock and our Redeemer!
Patty, thank you for praying for your fellow intercessors. We pray in agreement with you for all!

Joining in prayer for all the needs.
Judy, we are praying with you for Paul and Wendy and their children, Aidan and Addie–may their whole household be saved and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. We pray also for Bob, may he receive our Lord Jesus this Christmas, and find the friend who sticks closer than a brother.

We agree with you in prayer for Ryan and Dyanna!
Thank you so much!!! It is so encouraging to know others are praying! May God bless you Judy!
I also need to include the entire staff with my heartfelt gratitude for all your hard work. My daughter is a professional advocate the other a fed.,another in environmental work. We are closer in seeing what is happening in the world. Even though we dont always agree. The most telling comment my daughter made, (while discussing prison problems with an attorney who is helping young girls); it’s not that we dont care we simply didn’t know.
Again, thank you for informing those of us who dont wish to remain clueless.
My children: shannon, Michele, Craig, and an ex husband mike.
May the Christ of Christmas warm your heart with JOY and GLADNESS
Karen,
Thanks so much for your kind comment. Yes, there is so much happening in our world that we do not know about–but what we can find out, we will, and will pray about it. Thanks for being a part of the body who wants to be open-eyed and engaged! Blessings to you for Christmas–praying for Shannon, Michele, Craig and Mike.
THANK YOU for this wonderful prayer guide! I’ve printed it out, and it will be part of my daily devotions. Please pray for: Mike, Chris, and Catherine…
Merry Christmas, and may God bless you!
