If you really have a desire for others to know Jesus, it is vital that you spend valuable time interceding for their salvation. Just be sure that God is leading you and that you are being sensitive to the person and the situation. As you lift up the names of those on your heart who need the Lord, pray that the Holy Spirit will convict them of their sin and need for forgiveness. In faith, thank God for their salvation despite how things appear at the present time. Remember to be patient and persistent in your prayers.
Some people pray years for the salvation of their family and friends.
Trust God's timing and allow Him to do the work His way. Treating others with love and kindness are major keys to winning them over to the Lord. If you truly love God first and foremost, He will give you His unconditional love toward others. If you are holding any grudges against others, God cannot work through you to reach them. Ask Him to help you forgive and accept those who may have hurt you, just as He forgives and accepts you.
