100 Days of Prayer

Day 12 of 100

Father, we come seeking salvation and rescue for the lost.

God of heaven, please do not forget us as we wander and lose sight of you, sense of your presence, understanding of your will and purpose for us. Please come rescue us! Please seek us out even when we do not know to look for you. Please call us by name, remind us we are your own. Please circle about us with your love and forgiveness, grace and mercy in our time of need. Father please find us and lock us into your will, fill our hearts and minds and lives with your presence and wise direction. Please draw us in through love and life and circumstance, through hardship and change. Please connect us to you and never let us go. Please send your emissaries to mission and teach and share and love and testify to your steadfastness. Show us you are faithful. Convince us you are God. Whether we knew you before or not draw us out of darkness and into your light. Please help us see you, know you, and return to the safekeeping of your light. Father please put a hedge of protection around the saved who have lost their way. Please open their eyes to your provision in their wilderness and the goodness and mercy you have set aside for them when they return. Please bless those on their way. Please clear away obstacles for those whose heart is ready to return to you. Please shade us from the monstrosities that threaten us on our way back to you. Please heal us as we come. Please let us know the right way. Please enlarge our territory as we seek you out. Please bless our steps as we declare our love for you and learn how to love you and live for you again. Please secure us tightly to you when we return and care for us as we listen for your voice. Soften our hearts and make us ready for your rescue.

Thank you for the promise of your presence and the unending seeking you do to find and save us. Thank you that our wilderness and confusion is no match for your voice or Spirit. Thank you for being father, shepherd, friend, and faithful companion. Thank you for calling us by name and making us permanently your own. We declare the lost are found, the wanderers have caught sight of you and heard your voice. We declare the distractions and burdens and traps and curses of the enemy are broken by your voice and name so we can return from being lost and remain forever tethered to your great love, knowing your name, guided by your gentle gracious hand.

In the name of Jesus, who saved us and is ever saving us, and the Lord who shepherds us without fail, the truth of our rescue is immediately so!
