Dear God,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Antalik's prayer request for Joseph. Lord, we ask that you keep Joseph strong and guide him away from making any bad choices as he awaits his phone conversation on Wednesday. We pray that this call brings good news and a date of admission to rehab, so that Joseph can receive the help and support he needs to overcome his struggles with drugs.
Lord, we acknowledge the pain and anguish that Antalik and Joseph have endured for almost 12 years. We humbly ask that you bring an end to this ordeal and restore Joseph's life. You have given Antalik a sweet little boy, and we pray that you restore Joseph to his former loving and kind self, just as he was as a child.
Father, we thank you for your unwavering presence and love throughout all the misery and pain. We know that you are always there, even in the midst of our deepest hurts. We trust in your mercy and grace, and we ask that you grant this prayer request according to your perfect will.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
