Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in humble supplication, lifting up Joost in prayer. Lord, Your Word tells us in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Joost has confessed involvement in practices that do not honor You, and we ask for Your divine forgiveness and cleansing.
Father, we pray that You break every chain and close every door that has been opened to the occult and other unholy practices. Your Word in James 4:7 encourages us to "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We pray that Joost will submit fully to Your will and resist any further temptations.
Lord, fill Joost's heart with Your Holy Spirit. As it is written in Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." We ask that You renew Joost's heart and spirit, making it a dwelling place for Your love and truth.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment, as mentioned in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." Guide Joost's steps, Lord, and lead away from any paths that do not glorify Your name.
Thank You, Father, for Your mercy and grace. We trust that You will work mightily in Joost's life, bringing about transformation and renewal. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
