Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Niolage's dad to you. We acknowledge that you are the God who can change hearts and deliver from the spirit of hatred. We pray that you would intervene in his life and bring about a transformation by the power of your Holy Spirit.
Lord, we recognize that hatred and unforgiveness are hindrances to experiencing your love and grace. We ask that you would soften his heart and open his eyes to the message of love that Jesus taught us. Help him to understand the importance of forgiveness and the freedom that comes from letting go of bitterness.
We pray for healing in his physical body as well. We know that the burden of hatred can manifest in physical problems, and we ask for your healing touch to bring restoration and wholeness.
Father, we believe that no one is beyond your reach, regardless of age or past experiences. We trust in your ability to change hearts and save souls. We ask that you would draw him closer to you and reveal your love in a powerful way.
In accordance with your Word, we stand on the promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" We declare that through your grace, Niolage's dad can experience a new life in Christ, free from hatred and filled with your love.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness to answer. May your will be done in his life, and may your name be glorified through this situation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
