We join you, Antalik, in lifting up Joseph in prayer, trusting in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal and restore.
We are reminded of the beautiful promise in Psalm 103:12: As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
This is our prayer for Joseph:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ to lift up Joseph. Lord, we ask that you touch his body, soul, and spirit, and bring healing and peace into his life. Forgive his sins, Lord, and help him to forgive himself, that he may be released from the burden of guilt and shame.
We ask God to place a hedge of protection around Joseph, keeping him far from temptation and sin lightly as it is stated in 1 Corinthians 10:13 (No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it,). Guard his heart and mind, and draw him ever closer to you.
Fill his life with your joy, Lord, and with righteousness of Christ. (2 Timothy 2:2)Put a desire in his heart to seek you continually and to worship you in fellowship with other believers. Guide him to a Bible believing church where he can grow sheltered and having the covering of fellow believers.
Help him to move forward, Lord, walking in your will and purpose for his life. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged is stated in Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. as you stand in faith, believing that God is at work in Josephs life. Continue to pray for him in with an unrestrained belief in God, and trust that the Lord will complete the good work that He has begun as stated in Philippians 1:6.
For I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
