Father God, we know that violence and abuse breaks your heart. We know that this is not your perfect will. I pray for Josh, Lord and ask that you protect him. Keep him safe. Heal Josh from all abuse, physical and emotional. Lord, I pray for his step Dad, Lord, you know this man and I ask that you reach down to him and bless him with your conviction. Help this man, Father, he needs you. May he come to know you and serve you with all his heart and mind and soul. I ask that you guide this family with your healing love, your wisdom, your strength and your peace. This I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen
