Dear Lord, hear our prayer:

Heavenly Father, Creator of all, we acknowledge Your just character as we recognize that evil is rampant in the world. However, Lord we know You did not create evil, but rather evil is the absence of You in the lives of those who commit rebellion against You in horrific ways. Lord, Sovereign and gracious, we pray for the lost, especially those who don’t yet know You and yet are searching for truth and meaning to the life they are living. Allow You Holy Spirit to draw them to You for You know in Your great knowledge and wisdom who they are. For those who reject You, we know there is no escape from their judgment and if we allow our spirits to rise, there is no pleasure we derive from that for Your Word says that Your desire, Your heart of Love wishes none of Your creation to perish, yet we know sadly, many will. Still we come to You on behalf of those searching and seeking, in Jesus’ name, save those who will come to You.

Amen and AMEN.
