I come to you with a prayer request for a disabled Vet named Joseph that I have known for many years. While his disabilites make him unable to hold a job long-term, my request is more for the healing of his spirit than his body. He needs sincere Christian men in his life... he knows the way but is currently straying from it. He has found himself in some scrapes for which he now must pay the piper. I pray that he come out of this with a heart for the Lord and a renewed spirit. Should any addictions be present because of his disabilities, please pray that he be delivered from those. He has a good heart, he just needs it to serve the right Master.
Bless you all. j
I’ll pray
May Joseph find Christ in his heart.
Prayers up.
Father God, I lift Joseph to You, thanking You for Your plans for him. I declare the Blood of Jesus over him, in the name of Jesus, the Ancient of Days, with the authority You have given me through that Name, I break the power of addictions over him, also over his friends, his loved ones, and all those he comes in contact with, broken because of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, His death on the cross, His shed blood, and the stripes on His back. I loose the Holy Spirit on Joseph to shine brightly in all of these people, to burn as a holy fire in a hedge around them consuming from without and from within anything that would hinder this good and lasting work, to clean them out, fill them up, and seal them, until the day of redemption. I ask You Father God to send holy warring angels to safeguard this work, to fight on their behalf, and to alert them to anything they need to do, and I also ask You to send holy ministering angels to comfort and sustain these people for all their days. May each of them do all of their deeds in the Holy Name of Jesus, depending on Him, and giving praise to You through Him, it is in that Name I ask You for these things, with a grateful and faithful heart, amen and amen.
Prayers up for Joseph.
Please thank him for me for his service.
Same thing with my son, age 21. Breaks my heart.
"For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost." -Matt 18: 11
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost! I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance." -Luke 15: 4-7
Lord we thank you for this wonderful passage in your word that assures us that you're out looking for Joseph, and that there is much rejoicing in heaven for when he repents. We also earnestly pray for laborers in the field, for the harvest is so very ripe, and not enough laborers to reap what has been sown.
We humbly request that you look upon Joseph with your favor, and grant him repentance, and and infilling of the Holy Spirit. We thank you, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Prayers for Joseph.
Prayers lifted.
Lord, please help Joseph to put all his faith in you, as St. Joseph did. Allow him to experience his own epiphany and have his spirit healed. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen
Prayers for the gentleman.

Honored to pray for the friends and family of freepers, in Christ’s Most Holy Name, amen.
Jaded,
Joseph has our prayers, here. God bless.
Prayer are being sent to Joseph.
I just prayed.
He will be in my prayers today at Mass
Prayers for God’s blessings on all.
Thank you for your prayers, and I pray for God’s richest blessings for you, also.
I wish we knew more about St. Monica. Her story is so comforting to moms of prodigals, though I guess the end result of her travail is the important thing.
Prayers for Joseph.
Prayers for healing, peace and courage.
Prayers for wisdom and guidance.
Thank you all so much for your prayers. Can you add me to these prayers. I need guidance on how to deal with Joseph. Through out this test I wonder, am I what I say I am? Dealing in uncertanties is not my strong suit.
