Today’s prayer come from Davy Marcelo:
Day Two: That he would be saved
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. – II Peter 3:9
Christian parents want nothing more than for their son to be saved. For many we do not know the how or the when of this highly-anticipated, life-altering milestone in their son’s life, because he is still a youngster. But we still pray for his salvation daily, waiting upon the Lord to do His saving work. Some might be in a different boat: their son is already “of age” and is still unsaved. Let us be reminded of the character of our loving and merciful God: He is “patient” and “not wishing that any should perish” but desiring “that all should reach repentance”. Hallelujah! If your son is still “wandering from the fold of God,” don’t despair – Today and every day, pray faithfully and earnestly for your son’s salvation!
Lord, thank You for the joy my son brings to me! I pray that You would bring him to saving faith in Jesus Christ. Nothing else in this world matters if his name is not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life! May Your Holy Spirit do His convicting work, so that my son would receive this gift of salvation, according to Your good pleasure. I pray with confidence in Your unfailing love for my son, Amen.
Davy Marcelo makes his living working in Corporate America but finds his passion in serving as an associate pastor to his father. He is married to his beautiful wife Lizette, and together they have an energetic toddler son named Johann Seth.
Lord, I thank you for my sons, that both have professed faith in you and are my brothers in Christ. I thank you that they are growing in their faith and such it was the older son who counseled the younger son when he came to faith. I pray that they continue to grow in faith and that they would likewise lead their children to faith.
