Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Josh and his father. Lord, You know the challenges Josh is facing with his studies and the overwhelming stress he feels. We ask for Your divine wisdom and understanding to be upon him as he prepares for his exam. Your Word says in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." We claim this promise for Josh, that You would grant him clarity and peace of mind.
Lord, we also lift up Josh's father who is awaiting surgery. We pray for Your healing touch upon him, that You would guide the hands of the surgeons and bring complete restoration to his body. We trust in Your power, as it is written in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds," says the Lord.
Father, we ask that You help Josh to find healthy ways to cope with his stress and to turn away from drinking. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, as promised in Philippians 4:6-7. Surround him with Your love and support, and let him feel Your presence in every moment.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
