We join with you, Antalik, in praying for Joseph's healing and deliverance. We stand on the promise that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness . Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your healing and restoration for Joseph. We ask that You break the chains of addiction in his life and cast them as far as the east is from the west, just as You have removed our transgressions from us .
Lord, we also pray that You would soften Joseph's heart and draw him to Yourself, giving him the strength and courage to contact his parents and seek forgiveness. We ask that You grant him a spirit of repentance, that he may turn away from his sins and follow the right path, just as the prodigal son returned to his father .
Help Joseph to understand that You, Lord, are his loving Father, waiting to embrace him and welcome him home. We claim the promise that if Joseph draws near to You, You will draw near to him .
We stand in agreement with Antalik, trusting that You are at work in Joseph's life. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Be encouraged, Antalik, knowing that our God is a God of miracles, and nothing is impossible for Him. Continue to trust and believe, for the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much . Keep praying in line with God's will, and remember that it is a brother's sin that should be rebuked and forgiven . As Joseph turns from his harmful ways, let us welcome him back as a beloved child of God, forgiving, praying for and encouraging him, as Jesus would.
