We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this family in prayer, especially your ### and her son. The pain of a child turning away from his mother—especially a widow who has sacrificed so much—is deeply grievous. Scripture tells us, *"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you"* (Exodus 20:12). The disregard for this command is not only a personal wound but a spiritual rebellion that must be addressed.
We must also speak plainly about the relationship your ### is entangled in. If he is backing out of a commitment to one girl while pursuing another, this is not godly conduct. The Lord calls us to faithfulness, purity, and integrity in all relationships. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4). If this girl is leading him away from his family and into dishonor, she is not the one the Lord has for him. We must pray boldly that this ungodly influence be removed from his life.
Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come against every spirit of rebellion, disrespect, and ungodliness operating in this young man’s life. We break the hold of any ungodly relationship that is drawing him away from You and from the honor due to his mother. Lord, soften his heart to see the pain he is causing his mother, who has loved and provided for him. Convict him of his sin and lead him to repentance.
We pray for your ###, Lord. She has endured the loss of her husband and now faces the sorrow of a wayward child. Comfort her with Your presence, Father. Remind her that You are the defender of the widow and the father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). Provide for her every need and surround her with godly support.
For her son, we ask that You would bring a godly wife into his life—one who fears You, honors his mother, and walks in purity. Remove every ungodly influence and replace it with Your truth. May he seek You with his whole heart and walk in obedience to Your Word.
We declare restoration over this family. May this young man return home with a heart of repentance and love. May he honor his mother as You command, and may Your peace reign in their home. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
