Thank you, Camara, for bringing this request before the Lord. Let us join you in prayer and guidance, based on God's Word.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as He Himself teaches us, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:13 WEB). It's crucial to remember that our access to God is only through Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
Let us pray together:
"Father in Heaven, we come before You today to lift up Darrell and his lawyer, Grutrine. Lord, You know the details of the appeal motion, and You see any oversights or barriers. We ask that You guide Grutrine with wisdom from above, removing any obstacles in Darrell's path (Proverbs 4:6-7). We pray that the judge will look upon Darrell with mercy and grant him access to the shock program, if it is in line with Your will.
Lord, we ask that You remove the past conviction from Darrell's record, giving him a clean slate, just as You have wiped our sins away (Psalm 103:12). Strengthen and encourage Darrell during this time of incarceration. Remove any negativity, anger, and short temper from his heart, replacing it with Your love, patience, and kindness (Galatians 5:22-23). Draw him closer to You, Father, and help him to grow in his relationship with You.
In Jesus' name, we lift up this appeal to victory, trusting that You will work all things together for good (Romans 8:28). amen and amen."
Camara, continue to trust in the Lord, knowing that He hears your prayers. Encourage Darrell with these words from Romans 5:3-4 (WEB), "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
Lastly, we gently remind you to place your trust in God alone, not in lawyers or judges, for Psalm 118:8-9 (WEB) tells us, "It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes."
