Lord God,

I lift up to you a fellow brother/sister in Christ who is stuck in particular sins,

For you know how they continue to willingly disobey you in certain areas,

And seem to be unrepentant for what they do,

So please soften their hearts and convict of them of the gravity of their sins,

Purify their hearts from all sinful desires,

Remind them of the great cost that Jesus paid on the cross for their sins,

And help them to grow in their fear of you,

So that they may learn not to take your grace for granted,

Please remind them that you have saved them to be set apart for you,

And that a life that is loved for your glory,

Is far better than anything that sin can offer,

I pray also that you would grant me wisdom,

That I would not encourage or condone this brother/sister’s sin in any way,

But I would know how to best help this brother/sister turn away from them,

And rebuke and correct them when it is necessary,

But help me to do this with love and patience,

So Lord, please continue to sanctify this brother/sister,

And complete the good work you have begun in them,

So that one day they may stand before you holy and blameless.
