I pray for my brother

Father you know who it is
Enter his heart
Break it apart
Show him love

Be with him now
Help him to see you
to love you like I do
Give him peace

Use me in this task
Show him the light
Help mine to shine bright
Give him comfort

Help him to turn to you
He is a good boy
But Satan plays with him like a toy
Protect him Father

Lord I love you
and you know that's right
I won't let Satan have him without a fight
But it's like everything else

I can't do it with out you
I need you in me
To be what you want me to be
To help me bring him to you

Amen.

Author notes

I wrote this in prayer for my brother who is not a Christian. I can't bring him to God alone. I need Jesus in my heart and on my tounge.

    This is a beautiful prayer. I stand in agreement with you that your brother will be saved. I will be praying that God answers this prayer. One thing, wasn't it Paul who told the jailer to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and that he "and his household" would be saved? Claim your brother as part of your household and stand firm on this promise of God. Thank you for your prayers also. God Bless, Penny

    Don't ever give up praying for your brother! As long as he's alive, there's hope! I have family members that I've been praying for for years, and yet I know that the Lord is not finihsed yet, and that He's a merciful, and patient God, just waiting to hear that first prayer, asking Him into their heart, to become their Saviour! And I know it's gonna happen! And I believe it will for your brother, as well! Please know that there are others that will support you in prayer for him, also! God bless you!

    Lord Jesus, I join with Hebrews right now in prayer for his brother. Father Your word teaches that You draw men unto You and we simply ask that right now, where ever his brother is, that you draw him to You... we ask that You prick his heart, open his ears and his eyes and allow him to see You and what you did for him on the cross. Thank you Lord for hearing us. Amen.

    This is such a heartfelt prayer. I do pray your brother comes to know Christ soon. ~Melissa♥

    It is very sad when we see all the glory that Christ has to offer us and our loved ones do not. I will pray that Christ touches your brother in a way that he has no choice but to believe. I have 8 brothers and sisters and I am the only one with a relationship with God so I can relate. You are correct and this is something that can not be alone and you need to have Christ guide you for it is only through Him that we can come to Him.

    I know from conversations with friends that it is most difficult to be a witness sometimes to your own family. God bless you for your courage and may God's light truly shine through you!

    In Christ,
    Steve

    This is a very passionate and powerful prayer for your brother. I know I have prayed for God not to let the devil have my brother. Drugs have a big hold on him, and now my nephew as well. I gave him to God and I know...because His word tells me so, that it will all be alright. I pray for your brother even this moment, in the name of Jesus; that your brother start feeling the stirring of His spirit within him. That he answer the Knocking at the door and let the Lord in.
    Bless you and your brother. Thank you for entering this contest.

    Many of us were brought to the Lord through someone's earnest prayer. I know the Lord sees your heart and His desire is for your brother to come into the Kingdom, so that none should be lost. I agree with you in this prayer. I pray that the LOrd would send laborers across his path and that his heart would be tender and ready to receive the good news. For God's Word says, "This day salvation has come to this house..For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which is lost" (Luke l9:9-10) This I pray over your brother. Thank you Lord, that you hear our prayers`amen.
