Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Antalik's prayer request. We thank you for the answered prayer that Joseph was able to be in contact with his parents. We ask that you guide and bless the probation process today, that it may go well and lead to positive outcomes.
Lord, we pray that you would put the decision to go to rehab on Joseph's heart immediately. Help him to recognize the importance of seeking help and making positive changes in his life. We ask that you surround him with people who will encourage and support him on this journey, and that he would distance himself from those who have a negative influence.
Father, we pray that Joseph would seek your guidance in everything he does. May he have a heart that is open to your leading and a desire to align his actions with your will. We also lift up his friend who has been a source of support, and we ask that you bless her and draw her closer to you.
Lord, we pray for peace and a good outcome this afternoon. We ask that you would banish any evil influences from Joseph's life and protect him from being involved in any criminal activities. Hold his hand, Lord, and steer him away from anything that is not righteous.
We thank you, Lord, for your love and faithfulness. We trust in your power to bring about transformation and healing in Joseph's life. May your peace rest upon him and may he experience your grace and mercy in abundance.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
