Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of our anonymous friend. We acknowledge that we have all sinned and fallen short of your glory. We humbly ask for your forgiveness for any actions or behaviors that were not pleasing to you. We repent of our sins and seek your mercy and grace.
In your Word, you promise that if we ask anything according to your will, you hear us. We believe in your faithfulness and trust that you are listening to our prayers. We pray that you would cleanse us from all unrighteousness and restore us to a right relationship with you.
We thank you for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, through whom we can approach you with confidence. We rely on his intercession and the power of his name to present our prayers before you. We ask that you would accept our repentance and grant us your forgiveness.
Help us to walk in obedience to your will and to live a life that brings glory to your name. Guide us in the paths of righteousness and lead us away from temptation. Fill us with your Holy Spirit, that we may be transformed and renewed in our minds and hearts.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
