Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of Rod of God, who is preparing for baptism. We thank you for the work you are doing in their life and for the desire to seek forgiveness and reconciliation. We ask that you bring to their heart any areas of repentance that are needed, that they may fully surrender to you and experience your transforming power.
Lord, we lift up Rod of God's relationship with their parents. We pray for forgiveness and reconciliation to take place. Help them to humbly approach their parents, seeking their forgiveness for their rebellious, disobedient, bitter, and resentful behavior as a teenager and young adult. Soften their parents' hearts and grant them the grace to extend forgiveness and healing.
Father, we ask for your healing touch upon all relationships that have been affected by Rod of God's negative influence. We pray that you would remove any curses or negative influences that have been present, and replace them with your love, peace, and restoration. May their interactions with others be marked by kindness, understanding, and forgiveness.
Lord, we also lift up the heartache and suffering that Rod of God and others may have experienced. We ask for your healing and comfort to be poured out upon them. Help them to let go of the pain and suffering, and instead remember your faithfulness and goodness in their lives.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness to answer. We praise you for the work you are doing in Rod of God's life and for the transformation that is taking place. May they continue to seek after you, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, knowing that you will fill them.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May God bless you, Rod of God, as you continue on your journey of faith and preparation for baptism.
