Many Unsaved Friends

This is something that I've been praying about for a while now, but I figured I post it here.
I have a number of unsaved friends and it just weighs heavily on me. I understand that this isn't one of those things that's just going to be *POOF* fixed all of a sudden, but everyone once in a while I'll see again that STILL NONE of them know Jesus and it just saddens me.
Please just pray that my friends would each come to know Jesus in their own time.

I'll be praying for your friends, if you can return the favor. :) I definitely understand what you're going through, as I have lots of friends I'd love to see come to Christ.

Well, at least you two don't have to worry about your online buddies! I'll put in my prayers too. There's gotta be a saint somewhere that deals with this.

Hmmm... how about St. Monica, the patron saint of patience, who prayed for his son's (the great St. Augustine) conversion for decades and St. Jude- the patron saint of lost causes? :D

Anyhoo, I'll be praying.

Out of sheer curiosity, exactly how do you know they are unsaved? Do they say they aren't Christian, or are you basing your opinion off something else (such as they don't go to church every Sunday or they aren't the same denomination of Christian that you are)?

Or just try praying straight to God instead of going through a crap load of other saints and stuff. Id figure that might increase the effectiveness. Good luck though
