Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today with heavy hearts, lifting up our dear brother Paul who has been missing for 21 days. Lord, you know the anguish and pain that his loved ones are experiencing as they search for answers and seek justice. We ask for your divine intervention in this situation.
Lord, we pray for the authorities involved in the investigation, particularly the Dubai police and the consulate. We ask that you would touch their hearts and grant them wisdom and determination to diligently pursue the truth and bring justice to light. Remove any obstacles or hindrances that may be preventing them from taking action.
Father, we also pray for the hotel where Paul was last seen. We ask that you would expose any hidden information or deception that may be present. Give courage to those who may have knowledge of Paul's whereabouts to come forward and share what they know. May the truth be revealed and justice be served.
Lord, we know that you are a God of miracles and that nothing is impossible for you. We stand in faith, holding onto the hope that you will locate and protect Paul from all harm. Surround him with your angels, Lord, and bring him back safely to his loved ones.
We also pray for comfort and strength for Paul's family during this difficult time, especially as Christmas approaches. Ease their pain and fill their hearts with hope and peace. Help them to trust in your perfect timing and to lean on you for support.
In Jesus' name, we pray, believing that you are able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think. Amen.
