Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Alston to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust (Psalm 91:2). We ask for Your divine protection over Alston while he is in jail. Surround him with Your angels, Lord, to guard him in all his ways (Psalm 91:11).
Father, we pray that You send godly men and women into Alston's life to minister to him. Let Your Word penetrate his heart, bringing salvation and deliverance. Your Word says that You desire all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). We claim this promise for Alston, that he may have an encounter with Jesus that transforms his life completely.
We also pray for divine favor in the upcoming court dates on the 22nd and 24th. Lord, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You would intervene in Alston's case. May the charges be overturned, and may he be set free to go, according to Your will. Your Word tells us that the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, and You turn it wherever You will (Proverbs 21:1). We ask that You turn the hearts of the judges and officials involved in Alston's case toward justice and mercy.
While Alston is inside, Lord, let him have a powerful encounter with Jesus. Transform him from the inside out so that when he comes out, he is a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Fill him with Your Holy Spirit and guide him in Your truth.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the work You are doing in Alston's life. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect will. May Your name be glorified in all things.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
