Dear God,

This morning, I asked for help in being more faithful in prayer for this young man. I know that You know the robbery and property destruction he and his associates did to my then-home back in 2002. I know that You know their hearts, as You knew mine back then as well, even before I professed you as Lord of my life.

Help me not walk in fear after being reminded that he still exists in the same earthly world as do I. Help me be grateful that after such a long absence, he is attempting to restart restitution payments as ordered by the court system.

Please bless Joseph and help him continue to be successful and prosperous, and to rob and steal no more.

In the name of your Holy Son Jesus,

Amen.
