Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, thanking you for the privilege of prayer and for your faithfulness in answering our prayers, even when we may not immediately see the results. We are grateful for the communication that Antalik had with Joseph, even though it was brief, as it brought a glimmer of hope. Lord, you are good, and we trust that you desire the best for us.
We lift up Joseph and his friend to you, knowing that they are going through a time of suffering. As your children, we humbly ask that you intervene in their situation and bring an end to their suffering. We believe in your goodness and your power to bring about healing and restoration. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:17-18, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
We place our trust in you, knowing that you are a loving and compassionate God. We ask that you provide comfort, strength, and healing to Joseph and his friend. May they experience your peace that surpasses all understanding during this difficult time.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
