Pray these out loud daily.  They are food to heal your heart and to see others healed and restored.  If you are praying for a spouse, child or other loved one to return to the Lord, or even for yourself, these are some good scriptures to personalize and pray and confess out loud on a regular basis.  Just fill in your or their name:

Someone might say that some of these scriptures are being used out of context. That doesn’t matter for our purposes. This isn’t a theology lesson. These are your own heartfelt prayers for a person you love, using wording from scripture. These prayers and confessions build your faith in the truth of God’s grace, love, goodness, faithfulness and promises, putting you in a position to receive the answers for your loved one.

God won’t manipulate them or force them against their free will. But He has many ways to reach them – divine appointments, dreams, ministering angels, etc. Your persistent prayer doesn’t change God’s mind to do what He already wants to do.  Rather, they invite Him into the situation and encourage you to have confidence for the answers.
