Romans 10  "Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is their salvation."  ( v1)

My prayer, also,  for unbelieving family members, for friends and acquaintances, for the lost in our nation and for the lost around the world.... salvation.  I pray that they will know that the only righteousness that counts is that righteousness that is through Jesus Christ.  It is only received through faith in Him.

The Word is right here: " ... if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." ( v9-10)

Our Lord is Lord of all!
All who call upon His Name will be saved.
" So faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of Christ." (v17)

Paul's missionary heart is poured out in verses 13-17
How can they call on Jesus unless they believe?
How can they believe unless they have heard?
How can they hear unless someone preaches the good news?
How can they preach unless they are sent?

And even then, not all with believe the good news....

But God stretches out His hands, even now, even to the most obstinate and disobedient people... that they would turn and come back to Him.  So, we keep on praying...

Father,  I pray for my loved ones who are indeed obstinate and disobedient to the Word.  I pray that You will manifest Yourself to those who did not ask for You... be found by those who do not seek You.  Have mercy on them, for my sake, for my heart breaks that they are without hope and without Christ.  Send workers into Your harvest field, Lord of the harvest.  Send those who will break up the rocky soil, the hard hearts and stubborn minds;  send those who will plant the seed of the Word of God; send those who will water and tend the tender seedlings; and send those who will reap the fruit of Your harvest.  I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ the Lord.  amen.
