Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of Steven Bobb. We lift up his concerns about the increasing acceptance and normalization of sin, particularly the sin of adultery. Lord, we acknowledge that sin has always been present in the world, but it grieves us to see it becoming more brazen and accepted in society.
We pray, Lord, that you would open the eyes of those who are engaging in adultery and those who are encouraging it. Help them to see the seriousness of this sin and the harm it causes to individuals, families, and relationships. May they come to a place of repentance and turn away from their sinful ways.
Lord, we also ask for strength and courage for Steven and all Christians who are witnessing these sinful behaviors. In the face of disgust and disappointment, may they find comfort and guidance in your Word. Remind them of the words of Jesus to the woman caught in adultery, to "go and sin no more." Grant them the grace to live according to your will and to be a light in this dark world.
We pray for a revival of righteousness and holiness in our society. May your truth prevail over the lies and deception of the enemy. Empower us, Lord, to stand firm in our faith and to boldly proclaim your truth and love to those around us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
