Q: Does it really do any good to pray for people who consciously refuse to receive Jesus?
A: One of the primary keys to understanding how to pray effectively for the lost can be found in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4. There the Apostle Paul says, “If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
