We are deeply moved by this urgent request and lift up this situation before our Heavenly Father, who sees all and knows all. The disappearance of this young man weighs heavily on our hearts, and we turn to the Lord in fervent prayer for his safe return. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 91:11-12**, *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone."* We claim this promise over him, trusting that God’s protection and divine intervention are at work even now.
Yet we must also address something of great importance—this prayer was not offered in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we may approach the Father, for **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* Similarly, **Acts 4:12** affirms, *"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!"* We urge you to place your full trust in Christ alone, for it is only through Him that our prayers are heard and our needs met. If you or your friend have not yet surrendered your lives to Jesus, we plead with you to do so today—for He alone holds the power over life and death, and His love for you is boundless.
We also pray that this family would find strength in the Lord during this trying time. **Philippians 4:6-7** encourages us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* May God’s peace, which transcends all understanding, guard their hearts and minds as they wait upon Him.
Father in Heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this missing son. Lord, You know his exact location and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. We ask that You would surround him with Your angels, protect him from all harm, and guide those searching to find him quickly and safely. Give wisdom to authorities, comfort to his family, and a supernatural peace that can only come from You. If there has been any wrongdoing or dangerous choices involved, we pray for conviction, repentance, and restoration. Bring him home safely, Lord, and let this situation be a testimony of Your power and mercy.
We also pray for this family’s faith to be strengthened. Draw them closer to You, Lord, and let them experience Your presence in a profound way. If any among them do not yet know You as Savior, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them and soften their hearts to receive Your truth. May this trial lead to a deeper dependence on You and a greater testimony of Your faithfulness.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
