The forces of darkness will always strive against the power of God. Our mightiest weapon is specific, persistent prayer on behalf of our lost friends. When we pray for an unbelieving friend, we confess our dependence upon God for His leadership, His wisdom, His timing. It is amazing how fervent we are to see a lost friend come to Christ and yet how little time we spend directly in interceding on his or her behalf. We can pray for that friend's family, job, and personal needs.
Few people are reluctant to let someone pray about their problems.
Doing so prepares the way for introducing him or her to Christ. The unconditional, caring love of Christians attracts the unbeliever to the reality of Christ. Love is the music that authenticates the lyrics of salvation. We express this love in two ways that demonstrate Christ's presence in our lives and manifest the remarkable change that salvation brings. There are so many practical ways we can show God's love to others.
