There's a Facebook page group urging Christians to pray for atheists during the month of April. "We want you to select an atheist friend or relative and pray for them by name each day during the month of April, 2010 (and beyond!). It’s easy and could make an eternal difference for someone you love," they state. It's a great idea, and I would encourage all Christians to keep nonbelievers in our prayers all the time.
The Easter time brings Christianity to the forefront of our media, and with that extra attention may come opportunities to discuss God, and especially the salvation offered by Christ's sacrifice, with those who have not accepted Christ. If you don't have that direct opportunity, it would be good time spent to offer prayer for those still not accepting God in their lives.
"Lord, we are humbled and thankful for Your love. The sacrifice of Your Son Jesus Christ is the ultimate gift - one we can never repay, but we can honor with our praise and commitment of our lives to Your will. We pray for the Holy Spirit to continue to strengthen and energize our faith. We pray that the Holy Spirit fills the lives of those who have not yet found You in faith; that they may be afforded the eternal reward of salvation through Your Son Jesus Christ! Amen."
Have a blessed Easter celebration.
