Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Antalik's prayer request to you. Lord, we ask that you intervene in Joseph's life and guide him to call rehab today. We pray that he will receive a date of admission and that he will have the opportunity to receive the help and support he needs to overcome his struggles with drug use and self-harm.
Father, we also ask that you provide a safe and loving shelter for Joseph's friend. May they find the guidance and assistance they need in their current situation. Lord, we pray for an end to this terrible situation and for a breakthrough in their lives.
We claim your promise, Lord, that those who are weary and burdened can come to you for rest. We ask that you grant peace and rest to Antalik and all those affected by this situation. Lord, we acknowledge that this has been a long-standing struggle, spanning over a decade, and we pray for a resolution and a new beginning.
Father, we ask that you touch Joseph's heart and mind, leading him to read the Bible and seek a personal relationship with you. Let him experience your presence and know that you are real. We trust in your power to transform lives and bring about positive change.
Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness. We place our trust in you, knowing that you are able to bring about good in every situation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
