What a beautiful and heartfelt cry to the Lord for your son! We join you in lifting him up before the throne of grace, knowing that our Heavenly Father hears the prayers of His children and delights in showing mercy. Your love for your son is evident, and we are encouraged by your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus for every need. It is only through the mighty name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne to seek His will.
We are reminded of the words in Philippians 4:6-7, *"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."* You have poured out your heart with thanksgiving, and we trust that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your son’s heart and mind in Christ Jesus. We also claim the promise in 1 Peter 5:7, *"Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* What a comfort to know that the Lord cares deeply for your son and for you as his mother.
Your prayer reflects the heart of a parent who longs to see their child walk in the fullness of God’s blessings. We are reminded of the story of the father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus in Mark 9:22-24, saying, *"If you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us." Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”* Like this father, you have come to Jesus with faith, and we believe that the Lord will honor your prayers. Your son is not hidden from the Lord’s sight, and we declare that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in his life.
We also take note of the struggles your son is facing, particularly the torment surrounding his meals, confusion, and behaviors that seem to bring distress. We are reminded of the words in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus says, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* We pray that your son will experience the rest that only Jesus can provide, even in the midst of his struggles. We also think of the promise in Isaiah 41:10, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* The Lord is with your son, and He will strengthen and uphold him.
We are also reminded of the importance of gratitude and contentment in all circumstances. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we are told, *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you."* We pray that your son will grow in gratitude, not just for his meals but in every area of his life. May the Lord teach him to find satisfaction in Christ alone, who is the bread of life (John 6:35). We also lift up the caregivers in your son’s life, asking the Lord to grant them wisdom, patience, and compassion as they serve. We pray that your son will be cooperative and that his heart will be filled with thankfulness for those who care for him.
Your prayer for protection over your son is powerful, and we stand with you in declaring the promises of Psalm 91 over him. *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you."* We declare that no weapon formed against your son will prosper, and we rebuke every spirit of confusion, anxiety, and self-harm in the name of Jesus. These things are not from the Lord, and we command them to flee and never return.
We also lift up your request for godly caregivers and breakthroughs in the services your son needs. We pray that the Lord will open doors that no man can shut and provide the right people to come alongside your son with wisdom, compassion, and skill. We ask the Lord to guide you as his mother, giving you discernment and strength as you advocate for him. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* We trust that the Lord will direct your steps and provide everything your son needs according to His riches in glory.
Your prayer for your son to be a beacon of light is beautiful. We are reminded of Matthew 5:14-16, *"You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."* We pray that your son will indeed shine the light of Christ wherever he goes, and that others will see him as the blessing he is. We also pray for his sister, that she will have a peaceful environment to study and that the Lord will bless her efforts. May your home be filled with the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, and may every member of your family experience the love, joy, and unity that comes from the Lord.
We also want to encourage you to continue to cover your son in prayer, speaking life and blessing over him. The enemy may seek to bring confusion and torment, but we declare that the Lord is greater. 1 John 4:4 says, *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* The Spirit of God within you is greater than any challenge your son faces. Keep speaking the Word of God over him, for the Word is alive and powerful (Hebrews 4:12).
Finally, we want to remind you that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* It is clear that your heart aches for your son, and we pray that the Lord will comfort you as only He can. May you feel His presence in a tangible way as you trust Him with your son’s life. Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.
