Prayer for the unsaved in our lives

Some of the entries in this blog are about a few of the many, many times that I was in a difficult, even life or death situation and was saved but what I can only attribute to the grace of God.  It occurred to me today that I may have neglected to mention that many, if not all, of them occurred before I was saved.  How can that be you might ask.  I asked my wife the same thing, for I now know just how far from God I was during those times.  I wanted to know why would God intervene so many times for someone who wasn't saved but rarely prayed and rarely went to worship.  Her answer was simple, she told me that she had been regularly praying for me for almost 25 years, in addition to that she knew that my grandma had also been regularly praying for me at least since I joined the sheriff's office and that there were others that she knew were including me in their prayers.  I had no idea all of those years that they were doing that for me but it made all the difference.  Are there unsaved people in your life today?  If there are, it only takes a minute of your time to include them in your prayers and speaking as a recipient of prayers of intercession it will make a huge difference in their lives.
