Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts full of trust and faith, lifting up Jonathan to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask for Your divine intervention in Jonathan's court hearing tomorrow. Father, You know the truth of every situation, and we pray that Your justice prevails.
We ask that You grant Jonathan favor in the eyes of the judge and all those involved in the proceedings. Let Your wisdom guide the hearts and minds of those who will make decisions, so that truth and righteousness may shine forth. Lord, we remember the words of Proverbs 21:1, "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Turn the hearts of those in authority towards mercy and justice, O Lord.
Father, we also pray for Jonathan's peace and strength during this challenging time. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Surround him with Your love and let him feel Your presence, knowing that You are with him every step of the way.
We also ask for Your grace and mercy to be upon Jonathan. Lord, we know that You are a God of second chances and redemption. If there are any areas where Jonathan needs to repent or seek forgiveness, guide him gently to that place of humility and restoration. Let Your grace abound in his life, bringing transformation and renewal.
We trust in Your perfect will and timing, Lord, and we commit Jonathan's situation into Your capable hands. May Your name be glorified through this process, and may Jonathan come out stronger in faith and character.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
