Daddy GOD,
I pray for this child of Yours- Angelo. Remind him of Your love for us, that defeated sin and death on the cross. Remind him that even while we were sinners, Christ gave Himself to die for us, hopeless sinners, one and all. Remind him of the promises in Your word- that there is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION, and our sins You will remember no more.
I claim Your word- that where sin abounds, grace super-abounds. I thank You that You have released Your super-abounding grace in this brother's life. I thank You that the blood of Christ is not the blood of lambs and goats- which cleanses sin only for a short time, but the blood of the lamb of GOD, more precious than gold that has over-paid for our sin. As great as our sins are, I declare the blood of Jesus is greater.
Lead this child of Yours in Your paths of righteousness, O merciful Father, remind him that in Your word You have declared that You have heard his cries and seen his sorrows. Remind him daily that You are always with us, even in our times of sin. Remind him that we may fail and fall, but we will NEVER lose our position of righteousness because You see us though the veil of the blood of Jesus.
Give this brother clarity and wisdom, that he may read the truths and promises in Your word, that he may be assured of Your love for him.
Remove from him self-righteousness, that he may realise that it is not our work and our doings that assure us our salvation, but it is the perfect work that Christ has done, the blood that Jesus spilt on the cross that has bought us freedom from sin and given us the gift of righteousness.
Let this brother realise the true magnitude of the gift that we have been given, for we who know the true depths of our sin and depravity will in turn be even more thankful for the forgiveness and grace we have received.
Give this child of Yours peace and protection in his mind, let him rest in You in the midst of this confusion in his life. Give to him clear instructions on how to conduct his life that he may enjoy the fruits of Your work and the humility to accept and walk in the paths that You have prescribed for him.
I pray all this in the name of Jesus, our Kinsman-Redeemer, our heavenly Boaz, and most importantly, our precious, loving Saviour who gave Himself on the cross to be broken and beaten that we may be whole,
Amen, Amen, Amen.
