We join with you, Antalik, in lifting up Joseph to the Lord. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we bring this petition before the throne of grace.
Firstly, let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to intercede for Joseph. Lord, You know the struggles he is facing, and we ask that You guide him and show him the way out of this mess. Please, Lord, do not let any harmful drug enter his body unless prescribed for medical reasons. Break the chains of addiction in his life, and set him free from this bondage. Surround him with Your presence, and let him feel the comfort and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Lord, we ask that You place godly Christians in his path who will support and encourage him. Let him reach out to them and find the help he needs. Give him the strength to speak to You, to call upon Your name, and to seek Your face. We know, Lord, that You are a God of miracles, and You have turned situations around before. Have mercy on Joseph, and forgive him, for You have sent Your Son Jesus to die for our sins. Free him from the chains of Satan, and let him be clean and do good in the world. Restore his relationship with his daughter, and let him be a testament to Your goodness and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Antalik, we commend you for your faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. Remember the words of the apostle Paul, For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB). It is through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved, and it is through His grace that we are set free.
Encourage Joseph to seek the Lord with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength. Remind him that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). Tell him to be strong and courageous, for the Lord his God is with him wherever he goes (Joshua 1:9 WEB).
Finally, Antalik, continue to pray for Joseph, and trust in the Lord's promise: Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective (James 5:16 WEB).
