Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of Vashsorud and their prayer request for Keith. We ask that you would work in Keith's heart and bring about a transformation by the power of your Holy Spirit. May he be humbled before you, recognizing his need for you and surrendering his life to Jesus.
Lord, we pray that Keith would be slow to anger, that he would have a heart of patience and understanding. Help him to realize that there is a just God who condemns prideful behavior, and may this realization lead him to repentance and a desire to seek your forgiveness.
We ask for your grace and mercy to be poured out upon Keith. May he experience your forgiveness and be reconciled to you. We pray that he would become a participant in your kingdom, fully surrendering his life to you and living in accordance with your will.
All glory and honor belong to you, O God. We trust in your faithfulness and believe that you are able to bring about the change that is needed in Keith's heart. We thank you for hearing our prayers and for your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
