Psalm 36:1-2
Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.
O my Father, I pray for all the "nice guys" who have no understanding at all of Your holiness, so no concept of their own wickedness.
He or she may be a good husband or wife, a good provider or homemaker, a good father or mother. They may even go to church, and help their fellow man. A really "nice guy." But they have no concept of their own sins, how evil they are in Your sight. They do not see their own desperate need for the Savior.
But, Father, You can give them a new heart, You can open their blind eyes to see Your holiness, and how far short they fall from Your righteousness. You can give them the gift of faith to believe and trust in You, and You can cause them to be born into Your own family.
Please, Father, do this for all my loved ones, so that their lives, too, will bring glory and honor to Your Name.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
