We come before the Lord with hearts full of concern for your loved one, lifting him up in prayer as he faces court and the challenges that follow. First, we must gently address that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. Scripture reminds us in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*. It is only by the authority of Jesus' name that we can boldly approach God’s throne of grace. We also see in Acts 4:12, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for He alone is the source of hope, redemption, and eternal life.
Now, let us pray for your loved one. Heavenly Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in this court proceeding. You are the God of justice, mercy, and truth, and we trust that You will act according to Your perfect will. Grant wisdom to the judges, clarity to the lawyers, and favor for this man as he stands before the court. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Lord, we also pray for the challenges that lie ahead after the court date. Strengthen him, provide for his needs, and surround him with godly counsel and support. If there are areas in his life that are not aligned with Your will, we ask that You convict his heart and lead him to repentance. May he seek You first in all things, trusting in Your promises and walking in obedience to Your Word.
We also encourage you to examine whether this man is walking in righteousness before the Lord. If his court case stems from actions that are contrary to Scripture—whether dishonesty, unlawful behavior, or moral failings—we urge him to repent and turn fully to Christ. Proverbs 28:13 tells us, *"He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."* True peace and resolution come only through surrender to God’s will.
If this man is a believer, remind him of Romans 8:28, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Even in trials, God is working for his ultimate good and His glory. If he is not yet a believer, we pray that this season of difficulty would draw him to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Finally, we pray for you as well, that the Lord would comfort you and give you strength as you intercede for this man. May you both be drawn closer to Christ through this time, trusting in His sovereignty and resting in His promises. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
