Is it right to pray that God would save someone who is separated from Him?

YES!

Scripture: “Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and PRAYER to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.” — Romans 10:1

Thought: Paul’s heart broke for his people. He didn’t just wish they would find God—he prayed for it. Salvation isn’t something we can force, but we can always lift names to the One who saves. When we pray for someone to find Jesus, we’re stepping into spiritual battle on their behalf. We’re aligning our hearts with God’s desire that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9). Prayer is not passive—it’s powerful.

Challenge: Write down one name. Pray for that person today. Ask God to soften their heart, open their eyes, and draw them to Himself.

Prayer: Lord, I lift up [insert name]. Open their eyes to Your love. Break through their resistance. Use me however You want. Let them see You clearly. Amen.
