Please keep Neal in your prayers. We met Neal through the Roscommon County Jail Ministry, and he has recently been released. He has expressed a sincere desire to turn his life around and start fresh. Tomorrow, he will be entering a rehabilitation program, and members of our church family will be helping get him there. This is a big step, and we are grateful for God’s timing, protection, and provision as Neal takes it.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You lifting up Neal to You. You know his past, his struggles, and the weight he has carried, but You also see his heart and his desire for a new life. We thank You for opening this door to rehabilitation and for placing people around him who are willing to walk alongside him.
Lord, give Neal strength for this next step. Guard his mind, steady his emotions, and remind him daily that he is not defined by where he has been, but by what You are doing in him now. Break the chains that have held him, and replace them with truth, discipline, and hope.
We ask for protection as he enters this program, clarity in the process, and perseverance when it gets hard. Surround him with godly influences, wise counselors, and a renewed hunger for You. Let this be the beginning of lasting transformation, not just change on the surface, but a new heart and a new direction.
We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen
