Praying for Jr

Dear heavenly Father God,

     We come to You now, lifting up Jr before You in prayer.  We pray that if Jr doesn't know You as his personal Lord and Savior yet, that You would help him make that decision to turn to You now.  We also pray that You will overcome the hatred in his life with Your great love and grace.  Let Jr know Your grace and mercy toward him and feel the great love that You have for him.  Help him forgive others that have hurt him, Lord.  Help him to know and experience the freedom that You give us through forgiving others.  And illuminate the path of his life with Your Word.  Help him to read Your Word in the Bible.  Help him learn to pray.  And help him find a good church to attend, one that will teach Your Word with truth and integrity, a church that will show him more of Your love!  We ask that You would bring some good Christian people around him to be his friends, and to show him what true friends are.  And remind him that, in You Lord God, he has a friend that sticks closer than a brother.  We love You, God!  Thank You!

Amen
