Dear Lord,
We pray for the lost souls of this world. We pray that they will see the light of your grace and mercy, and find their way home to you.
We ask that you would watch over them and keep them safe, even when they are not aware of your presence. Guide them on their journey with love and compassion, so that one day they may be reunited with you and all those who have gone before them into eternity.
In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen

For all who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave or free, male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.
My dear children! I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for those of the whole world.
“And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”
Revelation 20:11-13
1 Peter 2:24
“Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”
1 John 1:7-9
“If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
spiritual warfare prayers for lost souls
Praying for lost souls must be a priority for every Christian. By focusing on others, instead of on “me me me” in our prayers, we are able to fulfill the second commandment that Jesus left us with:
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (Matthew 22:39).
I believe praying the Word for the lost, takes on an entirely new dimension for such prayer. Below I have developed a prayer using the Word of God for the salvation of lost souls. I encourage you to search the scriptures and develop your own prayer for lost souls. In the meantime, I suggest that you use this prayer. Just insert the name or names of those that you are praying for in the blank space.
Praying the Word for Lost Souls
Lord Jesus, You are building Your church throughout this world. The kingdom of darkness and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it (Matt 16:18). We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness in _ life (lives), and against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph 6:12). We use the powerful weapons of the Word of God, prayer, and fasting to pull down every stronghold that hinders them from knowing You Lord. (2 Cor 10:4,5). We come against satan and all his tactics that keep them from receiving the gospel (2 Cor 4:4). We use the spiritual armor that You have provided to combat the enemy (Eph 6:13). We put on the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness and stand with the sure-footed stability because we have the gospel of peace (Eph 6:14,15). Above all we take the shield of faith and stand against the fiery darts of the evil one (Eph 6:16). We also take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17), which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Eph 6:18) for these lost souls .
Lord Jesus, You said that harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few (Matt 9:37). Since You are in charge of the harvest Lord, send us as labourers to them (Matt 9:38). Let us be lights to the world, a city set on a hill that cannot be hid (Matt 5:14). As we go forth Lord, prepare us to be living sacrifices for Your Kingdom (Rom 12:1). Also Lord as You send us, we pray that we go in the power of Your Spirit, so it is not by our might or by our power that we go (Zech 4:6). We pray that our speech and preaching be not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but be in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power (1 Cor 2:4). We also pray that we preach and teach the Kingdom of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with confidence and boldness (Acts 28:31, 4:29).
As You send us to them , we pray that You open their eyes, turning them from darkness to light and from the power of satan unto God, so that they might receive forgiveness of sins and the inheritance, which is sanctified by the faith that is in You Lord Jesus (Acts 26:17,18).
Lord Jesus, we pray that You open the great door to these lost souls and stand against the many adversaries of the gospel (1 Cor 16:9). Lord we also pray that You open the doors that would allow us to speak the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them (Col 4:3). Lord, we ask You to open an effectual door by producing many signs and wonders, by our hands, amongst them (Acts 5:12). As children of God, we pray that You make us strong and do exploits (Dan 11:32).
Lord Jesus, we know that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Eph 3:20). Thus we ask that You make a way out of the wilderness for them (Isa 43:19) and lift up Your countenance upon them and give them peace (Num 6:26). We pray that You put Your Spirit within them, taking out their stony hearts and give them a heart of flesh that they may walk in Your statutes, keep Your ordinances and do them and that they will be Your people and that You will be their God (Eze 11:19, 20). Lord we pray that You will circumcise their hearts so that they will love You (Deut 30:6). We pray that they will know the truth and the truth shall set them free (John 8:32).
Lord Jesus, You came to this earth to seek and to save that, which is lost (Luke 19:10) so call them out of darkness into Your marvelous light (1 Pet 2:9). Open their hearts so that they will pay attention to the preaching of the gospel (Acts 16:14). Let them understand what You meant when You said, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5). Lord, we know that You are not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9) so grant them repentance and a knowledge of the truth so that they may escape from the snare of the devil (2 Tim 2:25,26).
We pray that they will obey the gospel, Your death, burial and resurrection (1 Cor 15:1-4) by obeying Acts 2:38, by repenting, being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, speaking with other tongues, as the Spirit gives them utterance (Mark 16:17, Acts 2:4). You declared that in the last days You would pour out Your Spirit on all flesh (Acts 2:17) so we know this promise includes these lost souls (Acts 2:39).
Acts 4:12 says “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”. O Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, we are asking You to save these lost souls.
prayer for the lost sheep
1. Read Matthew 27:45–50 and Pray
For all from whom God’s face is hidden—by extremity of suffering, by unbelief, by loss of faith, by wickedness of men. For all righteous and faithful men, who are tempted to cast away faith or to lose confidence in God. For all who are perplexed by the darkness of the divine ways, not knowing why they are afflicted. For all who are burdened and troubled for the evil and suffering permitted by God to exist. Lord, hear our prayer.—Henry Wotherspoon
2. Read 2 Samuel 12:1–15 and Pray
Grant, Almighty God, that as you have been pleased to draw us this day by the light of your gospel, out of that horrible darkness in which we have been miserably immersed, and to render your face so conspicuous to us in the person of your only begotten Son, that nothing but our ingratitude prevents us from being transformed into your celestial glory—O grant that we may make such advances in the light of truth, that every one of us may be ashamed of his former ignorance, and that we may freely and ingenuously confess that we were lost sheep, until we were brought back into the way of salvation by your hand; and may we thus proceed in the course of our holy calling until we shall at length be all gathered into heaven, where not only that truth shall give us light, which now rules us according to the capacity of our flesh, but where also the splendor of your glory shall shine in us, and shall render us conformable to your image, through Christ alone our Lord.—John Calvin
3. Read Jeremiah 23:1–8 and Pray
Lord Jesus Christ, who carries the lost sheep back into the fold in your arms, and deigns to hear the confession of the publican, graciously remit all my guilt and sin. Lord, who hears the penitent thief, who has set a heritage of mercy for your saints, and has not withheld pardon from the sinner; hear the prayers of your servants according to your mercy.—Wilhelm Loehe
4. Read Mark 6:53–56 and Pray
We appeal, O Lord, to your mercies, knowing them to be much more greater than our sins; and you came not to call the righteous but the sinners to repentance, to whom you say, “Come unto me all you that are overladen and diseased with the burden of sins, and I will ease you and refresh you.” Yes, Lord, you are that God who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should turn and live. You are our Savior, who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of your truth. Therefore, O Lord, we humbly ask you not to withdraw your mercies from us because of our sins, but rather, O Lord, lay upon us your saving health, that you may show yourself toward us to be a Savior: for what greater praise can there be to a Physician, than to heal the sick; neither can there be any greater glory to you being a Savior, than to save sinners.—Henry Smith
