Why Do We Pray for Salvation?
What if I told you that we pray for the salvation of others because God is sovereign in salvation? It’s a bit sad that the precious truth that God saves sinners has become more of a theological argument than a firm truth we unite upon. The sovereignty of God is the very reason why we are able to pray.
Our Plan
Do you pray for the conversion of others? If the answer is ‘no’, I can only say that I do not think you are yet born again. But if the answer is ‘yes’—well, that proves that whatever side you may have taken in debates on this question in the past, in your heart you believe in the sovereignty of God no less firmly than anyone else. On our feet we may have arguments about it, but on our knees, we are all agreed.

More Ways to Intercede with Prayer for Unbelievers
That is just a sample of a way that I would pray for unbelievers. There are other things which you can focus upon. Above I prayed that God would open their hearts and that He would give them an opportunity to hear the Word. That latter prayer might be a greater focus for those who are in unreached parts of the world.
