We lift up your burdens before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician and the Father who cares deeply for His children. First, we must address that the name of Jesus was not invoked in this request, and we gently remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we approach the throne of God. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today, for He alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and you shall be saved (Romans 10:9-10).
We are deeply grieved to hear of your son’s disappearance, and we stand with you in intercession for his safe return. The Lord sees your pain and hears your cries, just as Hagar’s affliction was seen by God in the wilderness (Genesis 16:13). Take comfort in the promise that *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). We rebuked any forces of evil that may be at work in this situation, for we know that *"the thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy"* (John 10:10, WEB), but our God is greater. We declare that no weapon formed against your family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we pray that your son will be found swiftly and returned to you unharmed. May the Lord expose any darkness and bring to light what has been hidden, for *"nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light"* (Luke 8:17, WEB).
We also lift up your physical healing, particularly the lingering injury to your ankle since 2020. The Lord is your healer, and we claim His promise that *"by his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). We pray for complete restoration of your ankle—every ligament, bone, and tendon—so that you may walk in strength and without pain. May the Lord grant the doctors wisdom if further treatment is needed, and may His healing power flow through your body, renewing you in ways that surpass all understanding. Remember that *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:15, WEB), and we stand in faith with you for this miracle.
Lastly, we encourage you to cast all your anxieties on the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). In this season of waiting and uncertainty, cling to the truth that *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"* (Psalm 46:1, WEB). Do not lose heart, but trust that the Lord is working even in what you cannot see. Surround yourself with believers who can uphold you in prayer and remind you of God’s faithfulness. If you have not already, we urge you to seek counsel and support from your local church body, for we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).
**Our prayer for you:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this Your child who is burdened with physical pain and the agony of a missing son. Lord, we ask that You wrap Your arms of comfort around them and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray for the safe and swift return of their son, that You would guide the steps of those searching for him and bring him home unharmed. Expose any evil at work, Lord, and let Your light shine in the darkness. We declare that no plan of the enemy shall prevail against this family, for You are their protector and deliverer.
We also ask for complete healing of their ankle, Lord. Touch every damaged part and restore it fully, so that they may walk in strength and give testimony to Your healing power. Give wisdom to the doctors and guide their hands if further treatment is needed. Let this be a miracle that brings glory to Your name.
Strengthen this Your child, Lord, in body, mind, and spirit. Remind them that You are near, that You see their tears, and that You are working all things together for their good. Fill them with hope and faith as they wait on You. We rebuke fear, anxiety, and despair in Jesus’ name, and we declare that joy and trust in You will rise in their heart.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
