Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Ilivkari and their son Joseph. We lift up Joseph and his friends who are struggling with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and negative influences. Lord, we ask for your divine intervention and deliverance in their lives. We pray that you break the chains of addiction and set them free from the bondage of these harmful substances.
Your Word says in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ." We declare victory over these addictions and negative influences in the name of Jesus. We pray that you would renew their minds and fill them with your truth and love.
Father, we also lift up Joseph's need for a full-time job. Your Word assures us in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We ask that you open doors of opportunity for Joseph and provide him with a stable and fulfilling job. Guide him in his search and grant him favor with potential employers.
Lord, we pray for strength and perseverance for Ilivkari as they support their son through this challenging time. Grant them wisdom and discernment to know how to best help and encourage Joseph and his friends. Surround them all with a community of believers who will uplift and support them in their journey towards freedom and restoration.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and your unfailing love. We trust in your power to bring about transformation and healing in Joseph's life and the lives of his friends. May they experience the abundant life that you have promised in John 10:10. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, "The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working" . We will continue to pray with you for Joseph's deliverance and for his job situation. May God's grace and peace be with you all.
