Your prayer for your son has been brought before the Lord with thanksgiving, and we join you in asking for his healing and renewal.
We are reminded that all strength of every sort comes from God, and that He gives power to the faint and to them that have no might He increases strength. Human strength will spend itself in due time, for apart from God it is not strength at all and must come to an end. But the promise stands sure, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. When you feel that the burden is beyond you, stop a moment and breathe a prayer for more strength, and He who has laid up strength for you will surely bear you through. We pray that your son, whether weary in body, mind or spirit, may be made to wait upon the Lord and find his strength restored, as one who has been bathed anew in the Spirit of God.
We pray also for his peace, for perfect peace is the portion of those whose mind is stayed upon the Lord because they trust in Him. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within, even in this dark world of sin and with sorrows surging round. It is that touch of personal faith which brings peace to the soul. May the Lord keep your son in that perfect peace, peace upon peace, as he learns to trust in Christ and to do the will of Jesus, for to do His will is rest. Whether duties press or loved ones are anxious, in Jesus keeping we are safe.
And we pray for his healing, for there is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ. He is the heavenly Physician whose very leaves are for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing. With His stripes we are healed, for He took our sicknesses and infirmities upon Himself at Calvary. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds, and He changes the very life blood and makes the nature other than it was before. We ask that this healing virtue may flow to your son, not only to his body but to his mind and to his soul, bringing first forgiveness and then wholeness, for being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
May you and your son be stripped of all confidence in your own strength and cast yourselves wholly upon Christ, saying from the heart, He is my strength and righteousness, my Jesus and my all. When all your own strength fails you, your strength shall be to sit still while God arises and becomes your arm every morning, your salvation in the time of trouble.
We commit your son to the Lord now, asking that the Father would lay His hand upon him, heal him physically, mentally and spiritually, renew his strength as he waits upon the Lord, and restore to him that perfect peace which passes all understanding, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
