Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith and trust in Your mighty power. We lift up Jay-R to Your throne of grace, asking for enlightenment and guidance through the Holy Spirit. 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." Lord, we ask for Your wisdom to fill Jay-R's heart and mind, guiding him away from destructive behaviors and towards Your path of righteousness.
Father, we pray for a transformation in Jay-R's attitude. In Ezekiel 36:26, You promise, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." Lord, replace any hardness in Jay-R's heart with a heart that is tender and receptive to Your will. Help him to accept the failed results of his applications with humility and a willingness to learn and grow from these experiences.
We also pray for deliverance from any influence of drugs or other harmful substances. Your Word in 1 Corinthians 10:13 assures us, "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." Provide Jay-R with the strength and means to overcome these challenges, Lord.
May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard Jay-R's heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Surround him with supportive and godly influences that will encourage him to walk in Your ways. We trust in Your unfailing love and mercy, and we believe that You are at work in Jay-R's life, bringing about change and renewal.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
