Praying For The Salvation Of Another

I have a list with the names of people (my family,my friends, and people I came to like) and I pray for their salvation regularly. I put this list before the Lord and pray for them as it comes from my heart. But I have a few questions about this kind of prayer.

Q. I have a list with the names of people (my family,my friends, and people I came to like) and I pray for their salvation regularly. I put this list before the Lord and pray for them as it comes from my heart. But I have a few questions about this kind of prayer.

My first question is, does it make any hindrance if a person (for whom I pray) live far from me, on another continent and didn’t know me personally?

My other question is, how can I make the prayer for a person’s salvation, the most effective? Do you have any personal experience? I would greatly appreciate any advise from you!

A. The salvation of His children is what the Lord wants most in all the world. (2 Peter 3:9) When you pray for another you praying for something that’s in His will, and you are also fulfilling the commandment to love one another. It doesn’t matter where the person is, or even if you aren’t acquainted. And there’s no special formula. It just needs to be a sincere prayer from your heart to God’s.
