A Prayer for Unbelieving Loved Ones

We all have people in our lives that we love dearly but we know that their hearts are far from the Lord. There are so many reasons why people’s hearts can grow cold toward the Lord. Some of us have trauma that makes accepting God’s love difficult, others of us let pride tell us that the mystery of an unseen God is not an acceptable answer to the big questions life offers, and others are too entrenched in our their sin to see God. Whatever stories we see happening in our unbelieving friends we can stand confident that God loves them and desires that their hearts soften so they can accept God’s free gift of salvation.
