Please pray for Richard that he will be delivered from the bondage of sin and darkness. That God bless him with brokenness burdening him to pray and read His Word and He will open his eyes and unstop his ears so that he will see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God, teaching him that it is by grace that he has been saved through faith, not of himself, nor of works, that it is the gift of God that no one should boast, for there is no other way and no other name in which he can call on to be saved. Richard will be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing tin the knowledge of God: strengthened with all power according to His glorious might for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience, joyously giving thanks to Him Who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the Saints in Light. For He delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transformed us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
