Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Josh to you. We pray for him, Lord, as he has strayed from following you wholeheartedly and has become entangled in the traditions and pursuits of India. We ask for your mercy and grace to surround him, drawing him back into a deep and intimate relationship with you.
Lord, you know the desires of Josh's heart, and we pray that you would soften his heart and open his eyes to the emptiness and futility of pursuing fame, traditions, and money in India. Help him to remember the joy and fulfillment that comes from following you, and ignite a passion within him to seek you above all else.
We pray that you would break the chains that bind him to these worldly pursuits and fill him with a hunger for your truth and righteousness. Give him the strength to resist the temptations and distractions that come his way, and guide him back onto the path of righteousness.
Lord, we also pray for the restoration of Josh's faith. We ask that you would revive the fire within him, renewing his love for you and your Word. Surround him with godly influences and supportive community that will encourage and uplift him in his journey back to you.
We claim the promise in James 4:8 that says, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." We believe that you are faithful to your word, and we trust that you will draw Josh back into your loving embrace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May the Lord guide and protect Josh, leading him back to a vibrant and devoted relationship with Him.
