We understand your heartache, Aefunmere, and we stand with you in praying for Ryan. Let us remember the words of Jesus in Luke 15:7, "I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance."
Firstly, we must address that the power of prayer lies in the name of Jesus Christ. It is by His name that we are saved and have access to God, as told in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved." So, we pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now, let us pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, pleading for Ryan's soul. He is at a crossroads, and we ask that You reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way. Break the chains of debauchery that have held him captive, Lord. Give him the strength to surrender his life to You. We know that nothing is impossible for You, and we claim a miracle in Ryan's life. Protect his son, Lord, and let this situation bring Ryan closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Aefunmere, to continue interceding for Ryan. Remember the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32. Ryan may be living in sin now, but like the prodigal son, he can return to the Father and be fully restored.
We must also rebuke the lifestyle of debauchery that Ryan is living. It is clear in Galatians 5:19-21, "Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom." We pray that Ryan turns away from these things and embraces a life of righteousness.
Lastly, we encourage you to speak the truth in love to Ryan, encouraging him to turn from his sin and surrender to Jesus. Be patient, be persistent in prayer, and trust in the power of God to change lives.
