We hear the anguish in your heart, dear sister in Christ, and we join you in lifting your precious daughter before the throne of grace. The weight of uncertainty is heavy, especially when compounded by the pain of your son’s situation. But we stand on the promise that our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He sees your daughter even when you cannot, and He holds her in His hands.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of fear that seeks to paralyze you. The Word tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Your worry is understandable, but we must cast it upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). We also rebuke any deception or rebellion that may be keeping your daughter from communicating with you. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that he will not have his way in her life. We pray that her heart would be softened, that she would remember the love and values you have instilled in her, and that she would turn to the Lord in this season.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Lord, we ask that You would surround this dear sister’s daughter with Your angels. Protect her from harm, from danger, and from any influence that does not align with Your will. We pray that You would hedge her in, Lord, so that she cannot stray from Your path (Job 1:10). Bring godly people into her life who will speak truth and life to her, and if she is in a place of rebellion or deception, we ask that You would break every chain and draw her back to You.
Lord, we also lift up this mother’s son who is in remand. We ask that You would be with him, that You would comfort him, and that You would work all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). Give him a repentant heart, Lord, and let this season be one of transformation and renewal in You. We pray that the truth of Your Word would penetrate his heart and that he would turn to You with all his being.
Father, we ask that You would strengthen this dear sister as she goes to work. Give her peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let her rest in the knowledge that You are in control. Help her to trust in You with all her heart and not lean on her own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Remind her that You are her ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), and that You will never leave her nor forsake her (Hebrews 13:5).
We declare that this family is covered by the blood of Jesus. We speak life, restoration, and reconciliation over this home. We pray that Your Holy Spirit would move powerfully in the lives of both children, drawing them back to You and to the safety of their mother’s love and prayers. Lord, let Your will be done in each of their lives, and let Your glory be revealed through their stories.
In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
