Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Biviain's urgent prayer request for her nephew Gabriel. Lord, we thank you for the love and care that Biviain and her husband have shown towards Gabriel, treating him as their own child. We are grateful for their willingness to provide for his needs even from a distance.
Father, we are deeply saddened by the loss of Gabriel's parents, both his father at a young age and now his mother due to renal failure. Our hearts ache for Gabriel as he navigates through this difficult time, especially knowing that his grandparents and uncle have not been kind to him. We pray for your divine intervention in this situation.
Lord, as Biviain and her husband, along with her older brother, plan to go to Indonesia in December to ask for Gabriel's release, we ask for your guidance and favor. We pray that you would soften the hearts of Gabriel's grandparents and uncle, that they would willingly release him into the care of Biviain and her husband. May there be no obstacles or problems in this process, but rather a smooth transition for Gabriel to be reunited with those who love and care for him.
Holy Spirit, we ask that you would comfort Gabriel's heart during this time of waiting and uncertainty. Surround him with your peace and love, assuring him that he is not alone. Give him strength and courage to endure until he is freed from the difficult situation he is currently in.
Lord, we acknowledge that you are our advocate and our source of help. We trust in your sovereignty and believe that you can work miracles in this situation. We place our hope and trust in you, knowing that you are able to bring about a positive outcome for Gabriel's well-being.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
