We hear your heart, dear sister, and we lift your concerns before the Lord with compassion and urgency. First, we must address the pain your husband is experiencing—physical suffering is never easy, and we pray for immediate relief and healing. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18-19, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* We ask the Great Physician to touch his tooth, ease his discomfort, and guide him to wise care if needed.
Now, regarding your son and his sleep struggles as school approaches, we understand the exhaustion and frustration this brings. The Word reminds us in Proverbs 22:6, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* This season of late nights and difficulty may feel overwhelming, but we encourage you to stand firm in godly discipline, even when it’s hard. Consistency in bedtime routines, prayer, and gentle correction will help realign his heart and habits. We also rebuke any spirit of restlessness or defiance in Jesus’ name—your home is called to be a place of peace, and we declare that peace over your son tonight.
However, we must lovingly address the phrase in your prayer where you ask for your husband’s son to "go away." Scripture is clear that children are a blessing from the Lord (Psalm 127:3-5), and any division or rejection in the family grieves His heart. If there are tensions or unresolved issues between your husband and his son, we urge you to seek reconciliation and unity, not separation. The enemy would love to sow discord, but God calls us to love, patience, and grace. Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the Great Healer and Prince of Peace. We ask for Your healing touch upon this husband’s tooth pain—let Your comfort and relief flow over him now. For this mother and son, we pray for restful sleep, a calm spirit, and a smooth transition back to school. Lord, give this mother wisdom and strength to lead her son in godliness, and soften his heart to receive correction with humility. We rebuke any spirit of chaos or rebellion in this home and declare Your peace to reign. Father, we also ask for unity and love to fill this family, that no root of bitterness or division would take hold. Align their hearts with Yours, and let this home be a testimony of Your grace. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen."*
Lastly, we encourage you to cover your son in prayer before bed each night, speaking life and truth over him. If discipline is needed, do so with love, not anger, and trust that God will honor your faithfulness. School can be a fresh start—ask the Lord to go before him and prepare his heart for the days ahead. You are not alone in this, sister. Lean on the Lord, and He will sustain you.
