I have struggled with some of these issues - one thing I can say, some of the best people I've known, most loving and caring, have too. My heart goes to Joseph.

God have mercy on Joseph, He is in your care and in your heart, now touch his mind to have a desire to serve you, let him know who you are , show him love and compasion, he has a purpose in life , fullfill it for your glory... Amen

I praise you and thank you God for Joanne and her faith in you. Lift her up and make her strong in you. I praise you as the God of deliverance and healing. You are our strong warrior and see our hearts. Lift Joseph up to you now, pour out your Holy Spirit on him, forgive him and show him Your mercy and loving-kindness. Jehovah-Rohi, our shepherd, you say if you have 100 sheep and one has strayed you will leave the ninety nine to bring back the one. It is your will that no one should perish, but everyone come to you and repent. Let him know the joy of your kingdom, show that all he needs is You. I praise you and thank you for your love, mercy, and salvation. In Jesus Holy name I pray this, Amen.

Dear God, please bless Joseph. Return him to a good path. Guide him to make the right choices. Please give him strength through trials. Keep him in your light and protection always. Amen.
