For son to come home

[Cyraoztar]

For my son ### to realize what he did is wrong, and apologize and learn his lessons and start being a good human being and good child. For his mental and behavioral health to be healed. For the judge to release him home and for my husband to soften his heart, forgive him, and let him come home

 

[Articles]

We join you in lifting up your son and your whole family before the Lord, for we know how heavy a mother's heart can be when a child is away and estranged from home.

We hear your cry for your son to come to repentance, to take responsibility for what he has done, and to turn toward what is right. God desires this kind of humble repentance. As it is written, He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy, Proverbs 28:13, and If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, 1 John 1:9. We pray that the Lord will grant your son a contrite heart, that he will see his wrong clearly, apologize sincerely where he has caused hurt, and learn the lessons that God wants to teach him through this discipline. The Lord disciplines those he loves, Hebrews 12:6, and we pray this season will not be wasted but will produce in him the peaceful fruit of righteousness and a desire to honor his parents, for Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, Ephesians 6:1-2.

We also lift up his mental and behavioral health to the Great Physician. We pray for complete healing and restoration of his mind and conduct. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control, 2 Timothy 1:7, and He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds, Psalm 147:3. We ask the Lord to renew his mind, to calm any turmoil, to heal any wounds that have contributed to these behaviors, and to give him a new heart and a new spirit, as promised in Ezekiel 36:26.

We pray as well for the judge who has authority over his case. We know that the king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires, Proverbs 21:1, and that all authorities are established by God, Romans 13:1. We ask that the judge will act with both justice and mercy, with wisdom and discernment, and if it is the Lord's will, that he will show favor and release your son to come home under conditions that will help him continue on a right path.

We pray for your husband, that the Lord will soften his heart and give him grace to forgive as the Lord has forgiven us. We are called to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you, Ephesians 4:32, and to bear with one another and forgive as the Lord forgave us, Colossians 3:13. We pray that God will heal any hurt and anger in your husband's heart, help him to set healthy and loving boundaries, and unite you both in wisdom as you decide together when and how to welcome your son home. Like the father in the story of the prodigal son, Luke 15:11-32, we pray your family will experience repentance, forgiveness, and joyful restoration in God's timing.

We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently share why we pray in His name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. It is by believing in Jesus Christ, that He died for our sins and rose again, and confessing Him as Lord, Romans 10:9, that we are saved and our prayers are heard. We encourage you to place your trust fully in Him for your son, your marriage, and your own peace.

So together we pray, Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus. We lift this dear son to You. Bring him to true repentance, open his eyes to his wrong, give him humility to apologize and strength to walk in a new way. Heal his mind and behavior, make him whole, and help him to become a man who loves You and honors his parents. Move upon the heart of the judge to act with Your wisdom and mercy, and move upon this husband and father to forgive with Your love while also walking in wisdom. Bring reconciliation and peace to this home, guard this mother’s heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let Your perfect will be done for this family. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

We encourage you to continue to pray fervently, to seek godly counsel and pastoral support, and to trust the Lord's timing. Keep speaking truth in love to your son, affirming both accountability and unconditional love, and continue to pray together as husband and wife that God will guide each step toward healing and restoration.

We hear how heavy this is to carry, loving your son and wanting him to take responsibility, get well, and come home, while also waiting on the judge and feeling the strain with your husband.

We are standing with you in prayer for all of those pieces. For your son, that he would come to a clear understanding of what he did, be willing to make amends, and continue to get the right help for his mental and behavioral health. For wisdom and fairness for the judge as he makes his decision. And for you and your husband as you try to discern together what is wise and loving next.

One thing we have seen in families walking through something similar is that forgiveness often unfolds in two parts, a decision to let go of holding the wrong over someone, and then more slowly the emotions catching up. It can help to give your husband space for both, without rushing to restore everything at once before trust has had time to rebuild.

In this waiting time, it can help to stay closely connected to whatever supports are already around your son, his counselors or care team, and to keep gentle, honest conversation going with your husband about what coming home would need to look like practically if the court allows it. Alongside prayer, we encourage continuing to lean on those professional supports for his health.

Father, we lift this son to You and ask for healing, growth and a humble heart to learn from this. Give the judge wisdom, give this mom and dad unity and grace as they seek Your will, and cover this family with Your peace. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer for your son has been brought before the throne of grace and we join our hearts with yours in entreating the Lord on his behalf and on behalf of your whole household.

We are reminded of the prodigal son, of whom it is written that while he was yet a great way off his father saw him and had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him much. Those many kisses meant much love, much forgiveness, full restoration, exceeding joy and strong assurance that it was all real. Such is the forgiveness which is with God through Jesus Christ His Son. There is forgiveness with Him, that He may be feared, and there is forgiveness for the chief of sinners who will return by faith in Christ.

We pray that the Lord will work in your son that holy, healthy, heavenly repentance which is wrought in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit, not a carnal repentance that is of the flesh, but that true repentance which gives God glory. May he be brought to see his sin as sin against Heaven and before God, to abhor it and to turn from it, to look out of self to Christ and to Christ only for pardon, and to bring forth fruits meet for repentance. May that repentance which weeps for sin because Christ has borne its penalty be granted to him, that he may say from the heart, Father, I have sinned, and may know the joy of being forgiven and restored.

We ask the great Physician to lay His healing hand upon your son for his mental and behavioral health. The Lord who restores the soul is able to heal the mind and to give a sound heart and a right spirit. We pray that He will bring him to soberness and to soundness of mind, and make him to walk in the way of holiness and obedience.

We pray also for your husband, that the Lord will soften his heart with that same forgiving love which the Father shows to returning sinners. As God for Christ's sake has forgiven us, so may there be grace in the home to forgive even as we have been forgiven, with wisdom and with love that seeks the true good and restoration of the child, not merely to pass over sin but to see it truly repented of and forsaken.

And we commend to the Lord the judge who has authority in this matter. We pray that justice and mercy may meet, and that the judge may act with wisdom and righteousness, doing that which is most for the glory of God and for the true and lasting good of your son and your family. We do not ask for mere release without repentance, but that the Lord's perfect will may be done, whether through chastisement or through restoration to home, that your son may learn his lessons and be made a new man in Christ.

May you be comforted to know that there is forgiveness with God, that He delights to be gracious, and that He has given His dear Son to be the sacrifice for sin. Cast yourself and your son and your husband upon Him. Trust His dear Son, and rest at His feet, for He is swift to show compassion even before we have time to speak.

We pray that He will make your son to feel that his sin is gone through the blood of Christ, and give you all to rejoice together in that mercy which makes the dead to live again and the lost to be found.
