We join you in lifting up your precious son before our Heavenly Father and we stand in agreement with you for his protection and peace. We hear the anguish in your heart as you watch him suffer in this fragile and unstable state with severe anxiety, delusions, paranoia and the weight of past trauma, and we know the Lord sees him fully and loves him deeply.
Scripture reminds us that Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18 and that He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1. You prayed for a wall of fire around him and the Lord declares For I, says Yahweh, will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her Zechariah 2:5. We cling to this promise for your son. We also remember that God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7 and that we are told 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 Philippians 4:6-7. The Lord also says 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 Isaiah 41:10.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your mercies and for hearing our cries. Lord, we lift up this beloved son to You. You know his every thought, his every fear, the torment of anxiety and PTSD, the confusion of delusions and paranoia, and the deep wounds from mistreatment he has endured. We ask You to stand as a wall of fire around him right now and shield him from all harm and from any placement that would bring further abuse or trauma. Father, if it is Your will, we ask You to block this transfer completely and close this dangerous door. Touch the hearts, minds and consciences of every caseworker, medical staff member and administrator involved. Give them compassion, wisdom and clarity to see that this move is unsafe and to act with integrity and mercy. Open instead a path to a safe, healing environment where he can be stabilized with dignity, gentle care and proper professional support. Speak Your perfect peace into his storm, quiet the delusions, ease the paranoia, calm the severe anxiety and break the grip of trauma that is torturing his mind. Let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Strengthen his parent who is interceding for him, give rest, courage and hope in this exhausting battle, and guide them as they advocate for his safety. We thank You that it is only through Jesus that we have access to Your throne of grace, and we trust in His name for protection, healing and deliverance. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to press in with persistent prayer and also to continue advocating boldly for him with the facility and oversight authorities, documenting your concerns and seeking godly counsel and support from trusted family, pastors and professionals. God is your refuge and your son’s refuge, and He is working even when you cannot see it. Keep bringing every detail to Him with thanksgiving, trusting that His peace will guard you both as you wait on His perfect provision and timing.
