Riwdin, we are with you in spirit and in prayer for your beloved brother in Christ, Steven. It is beautiful to see the body of Christ coming together to support one another in times of trial.
Let us remember the words of the Apostle John, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB). Steven has taken the crucial step of confessing and repenting of his sin, and we can trust in God's promise of forgiveness and cleansing.
We pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your mercy and grace to be poured out on Steven. We thank You that he has confessed and repented of his sin, and we claim Your promise of forgiveness. Lord, we ask for complete restoration for Steven. Flood him with Your grace, peace, faith, love, joy, and mercy. Bring him out of the darkness and into Your marvelous light. Strengthen him in his faith and help him to walk in Your ways. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We also encourage Steven with these words from the Psalms, " Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh" (Psalm 27:14 WEB). Trials can be difficult, but they are opportunities for us to grow in faith and dependence on God.
Lastly, Riwdin, we commend you for your fervent love and support for Steven. It is a testament to the power of Christian fellowship. As it is written, "Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep" (Romans 12:15 WEB).
Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB), and continue to trust in His goodness and love.
