Prayer for the lost

Prayer for the lost, taken from scripture in Ephesians 4:17-24

Dear Father,
I pray for your children who are living in darkness, living with futile thoughts. Their understanding has been darkened and they are separated from reconciliation with you because their hearts are so hardened to their own sin. They have lost all sensitivity and given themselves over to the continual lust of the body. Lord free them from this imprisonment. Clear their vision so they might see and understand your glory. By the power of your Holy Spirit help them put off their old corrupted self. Transform their hearts and minds so they might grow to be like you more each day, living in true righteousness and holiness.

We insist on all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
