Pray for the Conversion of Non-Christians who are Hostile to Christianity

Intercession 5.4 | NIV

For the conviction and conversion of atheists, deists, and infidels, and of all who are out of the way of truth, and of profane scoffers and those who disgrace Christianity by their vicious and immoral lives.

O teach transgressors your ways, and let sinners turn back to you. Psalm 51:13(NIV)

O grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 2 Timothy 2:25(NIV) the truth as it is in Jesus, Ephesians 4:21(NIV) the truth that leads to godliness; Titus 1:1(NIV) that they may come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil. 2 Timothy 2:26(NIV)

Let those who are like sheep going astray return to Jesus Christ, the Shepherd and Overseer of his people’s souls. 1 Peter 2:25(NIV)

Show those fools their folly and misery who have said in their hearts, “There is no God,” and who are corrupt and whose deeds are vile. Psalm 14:1(NIV)

Lord, maintain the honor of the Scriptures, the law and the testimony, and convince those who do not speak according to that word, that it is because they have no light of dawn. Isaiah 8:20(NIV) You have exalted above all things your name and your word; Psalm 138:2(NIV) magnify the law, magnify the gospel, and make both glorious. Isaiah 42:21(NIV)

Let those who will not be won by the word, be won over by the behavior of Christians, 1 Peter 3:1(NIV) which I beg may be such in everything that those who do not believe may be convinced by all and judged by all, may be brought to worship God, exclaiming that God is really among them. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25(NIV)

My heart’s desire and prayer to God for the gospel-Israel is that it may be saved. Romans 10:1(NIV)

In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem. Psalm 51:18(NIV) May there be peace within her walls and security within her citadels. For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within her.” Psalm 122:7-8(NIV)

O that I may see the prosperity of the gospel-Jerusalem all the days of my life and peace upon Israel. Psalm 128:5-6(NIV) And that, thus, I may have reason to answer the envoys of the nations, saying, “The LORD has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.” Isaiah 14:32(NIV)

Save your people, O Lord, and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. Psalm 28:9(NIV) Give strength to your people, and bless your people with peace; Psalm 29:11(NIV) surround them with your favor as with a shield. Psalm 5:12(NIV)

Grace to all who love the Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love; Ephesians 6:24(NIV) for you know those who are yours, and give to all who confess the name of the Lord to turn away from wickedness. 2 Timothy 2:19(NIV)

I pray for all who believe in Christ, that all of them may be one; John 17:20-21(NIV) and since there is one body and one Spirit and we have been called to one hope – one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, Ephesians 4:4-6(NIV) give to all Christians singleness of heart and action. Jeremiah 32:39(NIV)

Let the message of the Lord in all places spread rapidly and be honored. 2 Thessalonians 3:1(NIV)
