Praying for someone's salvation?

We often stick to prayers like "God, please move in this person's life." That's good. But I think it's helpful to also start praying prayers like "God, would you show me what you're already doing in his/her life?" God cares about their salvation even more than we do, and often He's already working in their hearts regardless of whether we're aware of it. Our calling is simply to partner with Him.

It reminds me of those Science Centre / Exploratorium exhibits (the good ones). Sometimes He's already been setting everything up perfectly for something fantastic... but He lets us push the button. :)
