Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a humble heart, lifting up our dear friend who seeks Your forgiveness and healing. Your Word assures us in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We stand on this promise today.
Lord, in Your infinite mercy, please forgive our friend for the choices made over the past eight months. We know that Your love is boundless and Your grace is sufficient. As it is written in Psalm 103:12, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."
We also pray for physical healing and protection. Lord, we ask that You would protect our friend from any sexually transmitted diseases, including herpes. Your Word in Jeremiah 30:17 says, "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," and we claim this promise for our friend.
Father, guide our friend back to Your path, and help to walk in Your ways. Strengthen in spirit and resolve, so that future choices align with Your will. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
We thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness, love, and healing power. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
Amen.
