We join you in lifting up your son before the Lord, standing in agreement with your heartfelt plea for his healing and restoration. The Scriptures remind us that our God is a God of compassion and power, who hears the cries of His children and acts on their behalf. In Jeremiah 30:17, the Lord declares, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,"* and in Psalm 147:3, we read, *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* Your son is not beyond the reach of God’s healing hand, and we trust in His perfect will and timing for his life.
We also recognize that autism and trauma are deeply complex challenges, and while we pray earnestly for complete healing, we must also seek God’s wisdom to understand His purpose in this season. The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 about a "thorn in the flesh" that was not removed, despite his pleas. The Lord responded, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."* If healing tarries, we pray your son—and your entire family—will experience the sufficiency of God’s grace, strength, and peace in the midst of this trial. His ways are higher than ours, and His plans for your son are good, even when we do not fully understand them (Isaiah 55:8-9).
At the same time, we encourage you to continue seeking godly support—whether through Christian counseling, medical professionals who align with biblical values, or a strong community of believers who can walk alongside your family. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* You are not meant to carry this burden alone, and we pray the Lord surrounds you with wisdom, discernment, and practical help.
We also want to gently remind you that while it is right to pray boldly for healing, we must ultimately submit to the Lord’s will, trusting that He knows what is best. Jesus Himself prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, *"Not my will, but yours be done"* (Luke 22:42). May this be the posture of our hearts as we intercede for your son.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and expectant hearts, lifting up this precious son to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who formed him in his mother’s womb and knows every detail of his mind, body, and spirit. We ask You, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, to touch his mind and heal his mental and behavioral struggles. Lord, where there is brokenness, bring restoration; where there is confusion, bring clarity; where there is pain, bring Your comforting peace.
Father, we pray specifically for healing from autism and the deep wounds of trauma that have affected him. You are the God who parts seas, raises the dead, and brings light out of darkness—nothing is too difficult for You (Jeremiah 32:27). We ask that You would remove every obstacle that hinders his ability to live fully and joyfully in You. If it is Your will, Lord, we pray for complete healing, that his mind would be renewed and his heart made whole.
Yet, even as we pray for healing, we surrender to Your perfect will. If this trial remains, we ask that You would use it to draw your son—and this entire family—closer to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may experience Your presence in powerful ways. Give this mother (and father, if present) supernatural strength, patience, and wisdom as they care for and guide their son. Let them feel Your love and support through Your people, and may they never lose hope in Your promises.
We rebuke any spiritual forces of darkness that may seek to exacerbate these struggles. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every spirit of confusion, fear, or oppression to flee, for *"greater is He who is in [us] than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Cover this son with Your protective hand, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Finally, Father, we thank You that You are already at work in this situation. We trust You to move in ways we cannot see, and we praise You in advance for the testimony of Your faithfulness that will come from this. Strengthen this family’s faith, Lord, and let them know beyond any doubt that You are with them, fighting for them, and holding their son in the palm of Your hand.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We will continue to stand with you in prayer, believing that God is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep seeking His face. He has not forgotten you or your son. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His peace fill your home.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
