son's emotions

I want to pray for my son, stop from spiralling negatively in his emotions and academic. Help him to stop all distractions and start working on himself to have a positive image.

I am a single parent and just a few days ago my son who is ### yrs now had a breakdown. He is depressed that his father is no longer with us and he feels ashamed. I tried to comfort him yet I can't tell him the reason for he will be more hurt. Lord, please help me to stay strong and please...
