Dear Lord, I pray for Kelly, and I know you have seen his ways. I pray for you to heal him, guide and restore comfort to him. Father, I pray for you to help me to speak pleasant words that are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to his bones. Father, I pray for you to restore his soul and guide him in the paths of righteousness for your name’s sake.

I pray his mind, will and emotions would cling to you and your right hand would uphold him. In Jesus mighty name, Amen
