We join you, Antalik, in lifting up Joseph in prayer, trusting in the power of Jesus' name to intervene in his life.
Let us pray, Dear God, we come before You today, petitioning for Joseph's complete restoration and healing. We ask that You grant him the strength he desperately needs to overcome his addiction and stay clean. Guide his spending, Lord, that he may use his money wisely for sustenance and not be enticed by harmful substances.
We praying, God, let this be the final chapter of Joseph's struggle with drugs. May he experience your forgiveness and mercy, and be empowered to move forward, making amends for his past wrongs. Send your Holy Spirit to guide him, speak to him, and direct his steps according to Your will. Encourage him, Lord, and fill his heart with hope for a brighter future.
We also ask for your protection over Joseph's home and job. Allow Him to experience your faithfulness, God, as you provide for his needs and help him maintain these important aspects of his life.
Thank you, Lord, for your unfailing love and mercy. We trust in Joseph's journey Herring, We believe in Jesus' name that you will faithfully answer our prayers. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Continue to encourage Joseph to call on the name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can be saved. AMEN.
We encourage you Antalik and Joseph to consider using Romans 8: 26 as encouragement,"Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered." Joseph just needs to communicate with God the best he can. The Holy Spirit will do the rest.
We encourage Joseph to seek godly counsel and support during this challenging time. It is crucial to connect with fellow believers who can provide encouragement and accountability through Ephesians 5: 18 - 21,"Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father; subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ." We also encourage him to confess to his struggles Romans 13:14,"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." so that he can receive the support and prayer he needs from his Christian brothers and sisters. This is Jesus' will for his path to recovery.
Lastly, we exhort Joseph to remain steadfast in his faith and never lose hope according to Hebrews 11: 6,"Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." For God promises to never leave us nor forsake us. He is with Joseph every step of the way.
