Hi everybody,
I just very recently committed my life to Christ again after many years of angry atheism. This site was instrumental in bringing me back to the Lord. But right now I'm asking for prayer for my father, Jesse Reid. He is a lifelong atheist and he has always been very skeptical of religious beliefs and claims. My aunt Arlene just sent my father the book "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel, and he is reading it! And I have shared the "Top 20 Signs of the Rapture" link and have asked Dad to look around this site further if he wants to. My father is about to turn 77 years old, and he is unfortunately dying of a terminal lung condition called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
I am AMAZED at what God has done in my life, and it would be wonderful beyond words to see Dad come to Christ and receive the gift of eternal life. Please pray that God will open his eyes and soften his heart, and that God will give me the words to share the Gospel with him.
Thank you so much!
Jeff

I will be praying for your dad to come to salvation (I'm praying for the same for my own dad). I always remind myself that if God can change Saul into Paul, He can still reach the hard cases. Also, I praise God that He brought you back to Himself.

I will be praying for him, jlr1701! And, by the way, the book you mentioned by Lee Strobel is a really good one. I remember reading it some time ago and was very impressed by it!

Welcome jlr1701 and praise His holy name for your return! I would be honored to pray for you and your family members. Lord, we come before you today as a disciple of Jesus. That through him we have chosen to walk in covenant with you, O Lord. That by faith in Jesus we submit ourselves to you. Father we just lift up Jeff and his father Jesse Reid and we humbly ask that your touch their hearts Lord and that you might anoint them with your Holy Spirit Father. Lord we pray this prayer in the precious name of Yeshua Ha' Mashiach amen.
