You are All Merciful, Father. Your Love Endures Forever. Have mercy upon Joey's life, Lord. I know that You do, Father, for You are Merciful and Good.
Joey is trying to hide in darkness in a vain attempt to repress Truth. But all he is accomplishing is keeping the dark negativity inside, to smolder and fester, ultimately to erupt in destructive expression. He is not receiving the truth of his own frail condition, by hiding his darkness, he is bound to hide Your Light. Abba Father, only You can break through his barrier of darkness, past his masks and fears and recklessness. Only You, Lord, can expose the tender place inside him, where he is naked before God - and begin a good work in his life. Merciful Father, hear our cry for the redemption of Joey's soul!
Impart the necessary wisdom inside Joey to know when the darkness has started its terrible drum-rolls that the wise person knows to attend and take care to cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue him from himself.
Thank You, Father for hearing and granting our prayer for the salvation of Joey's life. Amen
