Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of Daniel. We lift up his situation to you, knowing that you are the source of all wisdom and discernment. Lord, we ask that you would open Daniel's eyes to the truth and help him to see the negative influence of his bad friendships and the religious dogma that may be clouding his judgment.
We pray that you would grant Daniel discernment and wisdom from above. Help him to seek your guidance and rely on your Word as his compass in making decisions and giving advice. May he recognize the deceitful intentions of those who seek to bring him down and may he distance himself from their harmful influence.
Lord, we ask that you would protect Daniel from any harm or downfall that may come from following the advice of his bad friends. Give him the strength to break free from their negative influence and surround him with godly friendships that will encourage and uplift him.
We also pray for ourselves, Lord, that we may have the courage and wisdom to speak the truth in love to Daniel, if it is your will. Help us to be guided by your Holy Spirit in our interactions with him, that our words may bring clarity and lead him closer to you.
In all things, Lord, we trust in your faithfulness and your ability to bring about transformation in Daniel's life. We thank you for hearing our prayers and for your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
