We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you are facing with your son. It's important to remember that God is always with us, even in the most challenging times. Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance and comfort.
Firstly, it's crucial to understand that God has given us principles to live by, and these principles should guide our actions and decisions. In Colossians 3:20 WEB, it says, Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord. Conversely, parents are instructed in Ephesians 6:4 WEB, You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
It's clear that your son's behavior is not aligning with biblical principles. The Bible teaches us to be honest, responsible, and respectful. In Ephesians 4:25 WEB, it says, Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
Moreover, the Bible warns us against deceit and not taking responsibility for our actions. In Proverbs 19:9 WEB, it says, A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
It's also important to address the financial strain you're under. The Bible encourages us to be wise with our money and not to fall into debt. In Romans 13:8 WEB, it says, Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
We need to pray for your son's salvation and that he turns his life over to Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this beloved mother and her son. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in their lives. Please help him to see the error of his ways and turn his life over to You. Help him to be honest, responsible, and respectful.
Father, we also pray for this mother. Give her the strength and wisdom to handle this situation according to Your will. Help her to set boundaries and make decisions that honor You.
Lord, we ask that You provide for their financial needs and help them to manage their money wisely.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
Please continue to pray and seek God's will in this situation.
