Humble Servant of All
I want to pray for my dear son who is ### years of age and still unmarried. Father, you know he loves you and seeks a deeper understanding of your word. While he believes in the Bible and in our Saviour Jesus Christ, he seems to be on a quest for greater insight into the spiritual meaning of many biblical stories and passages. He questions whether all accounts in the Scriptures should be taken literally. For example, did Adam and Eve really exist, or is the story an allegory or picture language that God gave us for an even greater spiritual meaning of man's development and condition. The story of Job troubles him. He does not get bogged down with it all, however, he does want to know what God is really trying to teach us. My son is a good man, and I pray that the Holy Spirit will be with him, teaching and guiding him in all that the Lord will have him know. Lord, something that has been on my heart for a good while now, although I have never committed my concern to you in prayer... it is this. Won't you please lead him also to a good young Christian woman that he can meet and make his wife. I know that he is a little lonely; he never says so, though. I do know he would like to get married and have a family of his own. My prayer for him is that you give him your wisdom, your strength, your power of discernment, and sound judgment in all that he learns, says, and does throughout his life. Protect him always from harm, Lord, and lead him to a good and righteous girl that he will marry. In Jesus' name, I pray, amen.
