We have carried your petition before the Lord with thanksgiving, joining you in prayer for your son that he may know the Lord's healing, renewed strength and perfect peace.
There is abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. The Scripture speaks of the tree of life whose leaves are for the healing of the nations, and even the least thing about Christ is healing. His very touch brings life where there is weakness, and His blood whispers peace within. We pray that the Great Physician will lay His hand upon your son, healing him physically, mentally and spiritually, and that the change wrought by grace will affect his whole nature and make him whole.
You have asked also that his strength may be renewed. Human strength, even at its best, will spend itself and fail, for apart from God it is not strength at all. But the promise stands sure, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. He gives power to the faint and to them that have no might He increases strength. When our own strength fails, our strength is to sit still and wait upon Him, and He becomes our arm every morning. We have asked the Lord to renew your son's strength in this way, not by nature but by waiting upon the Lord, that he may rise up as one who has been bathed anew in the Spirit of God.
And you have sought for his peace to be restored. The Word declares, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. This is peace, perfect peace, even in a dark world of sin and amid thronging duties and sorrows surging round. It is a present possession to those who trust Him and keep their minds stayed upon Him. May the Lord keep your son's mind stayed upon Christ, and so keep him in that perfect peace which passeth understanding, and may that peace be as a river flowing steadily through his heart.
Let us pray together. Father God, we thank You for Your many blessings and for Your mercy which endures forever. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom alone we have peace with God, we ask You to look in compassion upon this dear son. Forgive his sins and heal his infirmities, for You are He who healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds. Renew his strength as he waits upon You, and restore unto him perfect peace as his mind is stayed upon You. Grant him to trust You more fully, to feel that faith which alone can work such wonders, and to know that You will strengthen him in the Lord. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
