Heavenly Father,
We come before You with humble hearts, lifting up Oikotizo in prayer. Lord, Your Word assures us that You are a God of mercy and grace, as it is written, "The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love" (Psalm 145:8). We pray that Your grace and mercy would be abundant in Oikotizo's life right now.
Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in the upcoming court hearing on July 30th. We pray that Oikotizo will not face incarceration and will be given the opportunity to stay with the children, especially as the youngest starts school. Your Word says, "The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases" (Proverbs 21:1). We ask that You guide the hearts and minds of the judge and all involved in the court proceedings, that they may see the genuine transformation and the desire to do right.
Father, we thank You for the reconciliation with the 18-year-old son. We know that You are a God who restores, as it is written, "I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten" (Joel 2:25). We pray that this renewed relationship would be a source of strength and encouragement for Oikotizo. May this be a season of healing, growth, and deepened bonds.
Lord, we also give thanks for the sobriety and commitment to remain clean. We pray for continued strength and perseverance, as Your Word says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). May Oikotizo find the support and resources needed to stay on this path of righteousness and be a living testimony of Your transformative power.
Lord, we ask for another chance for Oikotizo, as it is written, "The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down" (Psalm 145:14). May Your will be done in this situation, and may Oikotizo's life be a testament to Your unending love and faithfulness.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
