Jesus said "you must be born again."(John 3:7) He didn't say go and get baptized. Jesus is the water of Life. John 4:14
I'd say pray to Jesus for salvation; Romans 10:9- confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and you shall be saved.

Forgiveness and healing for my friends with cancer and other needs. And to bless my food

Then what does Acts 2 38 and the like mean...

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.....

The only person I‘ve prayed for more than @Riven over the past two years is my grandson.

What does the following gospel teach as to how you ARE saved ?
1 Cor 15:1-4
1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Providing you maintain!!!!
Here on earth we are born again....if repented and baptized. I doubt Christ appreciates the assumption here on earth that we are saved since that is His decision.

Wrong. Acts 2;38 Repent an be baptized for forgiveness of sin....et al.....

So you tell somebody paralyzed on their deathbed 10 minutes to die to go get baptized. ? Sorry, I have witnessed people receiving Christ within minutes before dying. Acts 2:38 is Peter spouting of John's baptism, which Peter himself acknowledged the reverse. Receive Christ for salvation and baptism as a sacriment.

I was just lurking about, considering whether I should join the forum when I saw your thread. Some of the responses were very revealing.

Since no one knows me here, and most likely I will never meet any one here personally, I thought, why not answer as truthfully and transparently as possible?

I have five children, only one of which professes Christ, but I would describe her as a nominal believer. Naturally, my children are at the top of my prayer list.
I pray that God would protect them, convict them, and draw them to Himself, and not hold them accountable for the sins of their parents.

I have a couple of young men who God led me to share the Gospel with several years ago that I still lift up before Him on a regular basis.

I pray for those whom God will eventually cross my path, that their hearts will be open to the Gospel. I pray for the heart of Christ for all who have yet to call Him Savior.

I pray for my persecuted brethren around the world, with a special focus on Northern Africa, that God would comfort them and be Glorified through their suffering. I also pray for their persecutors.

I pray for those who are attending the many "churches" presently being led by wolves in sheep's clothing, that they would be empowered to stand up against false teachings or find somewhere better to worship.

I pray to be led and filled by the Spirit. To be more humble, to have a servants heart and not to be anyone's judge.

I pray for wisdom, and to be more like Christ.

I confess my sin. I express gratitude for all that God has done for me and is continuing to do in my life, however painful it may be in the moment.

I pray that I would be washed in His blood continually.

That by no means covers it. There are times when I have no idea what I'm praying, but merely weep in His presence over shortcomings and failures past and present, while simultaneously experiencing the sorrow for sin as well as the joy of knowing I am loved and forgiven.

Prayer is the single most important aspect of my walk with Christ, followed closely by faithful obedience. it's not always pretty, it's seldom eloquent, and to my shame, there are days when I avoid the blessed sacrament altogether. Though I try as best I can to be consistent and effectual.

I don't have to imagine a prayerless existence, I ran from God most of my adult life. By His mercy and grace those days are far behind me now.

Be blessed my brother, great question.
