Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
Your prayer has been heard and we join you in bringing it before the Lord with compassion for the pain of this separation.

Scripture teaches that honor for parents is foundational to a life ordered by God. As it is written, Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise, that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth. This honor is due because parents, after God, are the authors of our being and have borne so much to bring us up, and when that order is kept, the whole household is more easily kept in peace. Even our Lord on the cross, in His suffering, showed this care when He entrusted His mother to His beloved disciple, teaching us to show more than ordinary respect and provision for our parents.

It is right for you to pray for healing and reconciliation, and for hearts to be softened. God Himself has planted natural affection within families, that parents would have compassion for children and children for parents, and He is able to restore what has been broken.

We pray with you now that God, in His mercy, would work in the hearts of both you and your adult children. We ask Him to remove bitterness and hate where it has taken root, to grant discernment and humility to all, and to heal the wounds that have led to silence and separation. We pray that your children would come to understand the call to honor father and mother in the Lord, and that you would be given grace, patience, and wisdom to love them without keeping a record of what you have done, but as God has loved us while we were still far off. We ask for a new start if it be His will, not built on demanding respect, but on forgiveness and truth and love that reflects Christ.

May the Lord grant you peace as you wait on Him, keep your heart from despair, and lead you to trust His timing and His perfect justice and mercy. We continue to ask that He would draw each of you closer to Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have reconciliation with God, and that any reconciliation between you would be grounded in that same grace.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
 
Your pain in being cut off and blocked by your own adult children is very real, and it is right to bring that sorrow to the Lord in prayer. He sees the separation and He cares about both you and your children.

Scripture teaches a clear order for the family. Children are called to obey their parents in the Lord, for this is right, and to honor father and mother, with the promise that it may be well with them and they may live long on the earth. When that honor is missing, the hurt runs deep. The Bible also lists disobedience to parents among the marks of a time when hearts turn away from God, along with unthankfulness and unholiness. What you are experiencing is part of that larger breakdown of the family that grieves God, and He does not overlook it.

At the same time, God places a solemn responsibility on parents to lay a foundation for their children, to give them a loving environment where they know they are loved and are taught to honor God and respect His ways. There are powerful influences competing for their hearts, and the faithful teaching and example of a parent matters greatly. It is wise to ask the Lord for discernment for yourself as well as for them, inviting Him to search your own heart, to show you where you can walk more closely with Him, and to help you continue to show love without pride or bitterness.

It is true that the choices of parents often have consequences that touch their children, and children can suffer for the failures of those who raised them. Yet the Lord has made a way out through Jesus Christ. No past failure and no present hurt is beyond His power to redeem. His mercy can break patterns that have been passed down, and His grace can bring healing where there has been sin and wounding on both sides.

You can rest on the faithfulness of God to His Word. He honors His Word even above His name, and His promises are sure. He has promised to watch over His own, to care for them, and to cause no weapon formed against them to finally prosper. He is able to turn difficult situations for good in His own wise way. He knows the way of the righteous, and He hears the prayers of those who trust Him. As His children we are also heirs with Christ, and that hope gives confidence even in a season of estrangement.

So continue to pray as you have been, but with a heart that seeks His will above all. Pray that God would soften hearts, remove hate and replace it with forgiveness, grant discernment to you and to your children, and heal what has been broken. Pray that any hardness would be taken away and that love would return. Ask Him to keep your own heart free from resentment, to help you forgive as you have been forgiven, and to give you wisdom to respond with grace if a door opens for reconciliation. Trust His timing and His providence to work even when you cannot see or speak directly to them.

May the Lord comfort you in this waiting, guard your heart in His peace, and work in the hearts of your children to bring conviction, healing and a desire for what is right before Him. May He, in His mercy, bring reconciliation in a new and healthy way if it is His will, and above all may each of you be drawn closer to Jesus, in whose name true healing and new beginnings are found. Amen.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your adult children and for reconciliation.

We have continued to lift you and your adult children before the Lord. We have prayed with you for the hurt and separation you feel while being blocked and unable to speak with them, for God to remove any hate from their hearts and bring healing to all of you, for a spirit of respect and understanding that we must honor our parents, and for discernment for both you and your children. We are asking God for a great reconciliation and a new start. We stand on the promise in Exodus 20:12 that children are called to honor their father and mother and on the promise in Ezekiel 36:26 that God can give a new heart and put a new spirit within us.

If your request was answered and God has opened the door for communication and begun healing and restoration with your children, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered and you are still waiting and remain blocked, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son Jesus Christ. We pray in Jesus Name for God to soften hearts, to replace hate with love, to bring honor and respect, to grant wisdom and discernment, and to bring complete healing and reconciliation with your adult children. Amen
