Job 1:
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Do any of you folks make prayers for your family or friends like Job did?
how does this apply if the people in question are not believers? I don't want to read to much into the passage but it does seem Job is not praying that his sons repent per se, but offering a more general kind of intercession.
How should we apply this today?
