Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today on behalf of Cerby, who is facing a town hearing in just one hour regarding an incident of trespassing after being unjustly beaten by a group of people. Lord, we lift up Cerby to You, asking for Your divine intervention and presence during this hearing.
Lord, Your Word tells us in James 1:5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." We ask for wisdom and open minds for all those involved in this hearing. May the truth be revealed, and may justice be served according to Your will.
Father, we also ask for Your grace and favor to be upon Cerby. Psalm 84:11 reminds us, "For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly." We pray that You would shield Cerby and provide the grace needed to navigate this difficult situation.
Lord, we thank You for the healing that has already begun in Cerby's body, and we continue to pray for complete recovery from the contusions and pain. We ask for Your healing touch upon Cerby's ribs and kidneys, as it is written in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."
We also lift up the relationships involved in this incident. Cerby has expressed a desire for peace and reconciliation, and we pray for a peaceful and inexpensive resolution where apologies can be exchanged and forgiveness can be extended. As Ephesians 4:32 says, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
We thank You, Lord, for the support of Cerby's family members who are attending the hearing. May they be a source of strength and encouragement.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
