Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Antalik's prayer request for Joseph. We thank you for the answered prayer in Joseph's life, as he desires deliverance from drug use. We praise you for the work you are doing in his heart and for all those who have been praying for him.
Lord, we humbly ask that you provide Joseph with the means to escape this life of addiction. Lead him away from temptation and guide him to a place of safety. We pray that you open the doors for him to enter a rehabilitation center where he can receive the help and support he needs to overcome his struggles.
Surround Joseph with fellow believers, Lord. Place Christians in his path who can encourage and support him on his journey towards healing and freedom. Provide him with safe shelter and nourishing food that is not obtained through illegal means.
We also lift up Joseph's addiction to alcohol before you, Lord. We ask that you break the chains of this addiction and set him free. Pour out your healing and deliverance upon him, bringing restoration to every area of his life.
Father, we pray for Joseph's friend who also needs care and healing. We ask that you provide the necessary support and resources for his friend so that Joseph can be free to follow you wholeheartedly and experience complete healing.
Lord, we join Antalik in praying for the restoration of Joseph's relationship with his daughter. We ask that you work in their hearts and circumstances, bringing reconciliation and a renewed bond between them. Please do not let his daughter forget him, but instead, soften her heart towards him and create opportunities for them to reconnect.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and for hearing our prayers. We trust in your perfect timing and your unfailing love. May your will be done in Joseph's life, and may he experience the fullness of your grace and redemption. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
