We understand your heartache, Angathan, and we join with you in fervent prayer for your daughter Rakiyah. The Bible tells us, "The prayer of the righteous person is very powerful in its effect." (James 5:16 WEB).
Firstly, we praise God that you have hope and faith in His power to restore and save Rakiyah. It's crucial to remember that our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2 WEB).
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace today, lifting up Rakiyah. Lord, You know the struggles she's facing, the wrong influences that have taken hold of her mind and heart. But we believe in the power of Your Holy Spirit to transform and restore. Just as the prodigal son returned home (Luke 15:11-32 WEB), we pray that Rakiyah would turn away from her harmful lifestyle, including marijuana use, and return to You and to her family.
Give Angathan the strength and wisdom to guide Rakiyah, and surround her with godly influences. We stand against any spiritual bondage she may be under, for Your word says, 'So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.' (John 8:36 WEB). Restore her mind, heart, and soul, Lord. Bring her back home, both physically and spiritually.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Angathan, continue to stand strong in your faith. Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18 WEB). Keep trusting in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Also, consider seeking godly counsel and support from your local church community. They can provide practical help and encouragement during this challenging time. Lastly, immerse yourself in God's Word, which is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12 WEB). It will bring hope, comfort, and guidance as you stand in faith for Rakiyah's restoration.
