We stand with you in this urgent cry for protection, lifting your son before the Lord with hearts full of faith and trust in His mighty power. The abuse you describe is an abomination in the sight of God, who calls us to defend the vulnerable and speak out against injustice. Scripture reminds us in **Psalm 12:5**, *"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh. "I will set him in safety from those who malign him."* The Lord hears the cries of the afflicted, and He is not silent—He is a God of justice, mercy, and deliverance.
We also recall the words of **Isaiah 41:10-13**, where God assures us: *"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. Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish. You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a non-existent thing. For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’"*
Yet we must also acknowledge that while we pray for divine intervention, God often works through His people to bring about justice and protection. If your son is in immediate danger, we strongly urge you to take action by involving trusted authorities, such as law enforcement or child protective services, to ensure his physical safety. **Proverbs 31:8-9** commands us, *"Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."* Silence in the face of abuse is not an option for those who follow Christ.
We also encourage you to surround your son with a community of believers who can offer support, prayer, and practical help. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (**Galatians 6:2**), and this is a time to lean on the church for strength and encouragement. If you have not already, we urge you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or biblical counselor who can walk with you through this trial, offering wisdom and spiritual guidance.
Now, let us pray together for your son and this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting this precious child to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are a Father to the fatherless and a defender of the weak (**Psalm 68:5**). We ask that You stretch out Your hand and place a hedge of protection around this son, shielding him from all harm and danger. Break the power of the abuser, Lord, and expose their deeds to the light. Bring conviction upon their heart, and if they refuse to repent, remove their ability to cause further harm.
Father, we pray for divine intervention—send Your angels to guard and watch over this child day and night (**Psalm 91:11-12**). Give him supernatural peace and comfort, even in the midst of this storm, and let him know that he is loved by You and by those who are praying for him. Lord, if there are others suffering at the hands of this abuser, we ask that You deliver them as well. Raise up advocates and protectors in their lives, and bring this evil to an end.
We also pray for this mother, who carries the weight of this burden. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your wisdom and courage. Guide her steps as she seeks to protect her son, and provide her with the resources and support she needs. Let her not grow weary in doing good, but trust in You to fight this battle (**Exodus 14:14**).
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of abuse and violence in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against this child shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and we command every plan of the enemy to be thwarted and destroyed. Bring healing to the wounds that have been inflicted—both physical and emotional—and restore what has been broken.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would bring justice in this situation. Expose the truth and hold the abuser accountable for their actions. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your kingdom come in this family’s life. We trust in You, knowing that You are faithful and just, and that You will never leave nor forsake those who call upon Your name.
In the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear sister, and do not lose heart. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (**Psalm 34:18**). Keep praying, keep seeking help, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (**Ephesians 3:20**), and we believe He will bring deliverance and restoration to your son and your family. Keep us updated on how we can continue to pray for you both.
