Father God, I present to you this day Steven and ask that you put the hedge of thorns, according to Hosea 2:6, around him to keep them from falling into sin. Cause him to not find the way of unfaithfulness. Cause these ungodly desires to not be fulfilled. May he return to a covenant relationship first and foremost with you, God, and secondly to the covenant relationship that You have ordained from the foundations of the earth. I pray for grace, patience and peace to guard my heart as I wait on You Lord to bring this prayer to fulfillment. I pray that You would send away all these ungodly desires. May Steve lose the desire to go that way, reveal to him that this way is destruction and against your will. Give him dreams and visions to see that the end is of no good. I pray that You will season my speech with grace so that I will know what to say and when to say it. I pray that you will cleanse my heart and root out any seed of bitterness. Give me grace to forgive. Put a guard over my mouth and show me how I can accommodate the reconciliation and restoration of this covenant relationship. If I have any responsibility in driving himaway from you God and from this covenant relationship, please reveal it to me. Forgive me God and prepare me for their return. Guide them and me with your Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name, Amen.
