We stand with you in this urgent cry for protection, lifting your son before the Lord with hearts burdened yet hopeful in His sovereign power. The abuse you describe is a grievous evil, an assault on the precious life God has entrusted to you. Scripture is clear that the Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust’"* (Psalm 91:1-2, WEB). Your son is not unseen—God’s eyes are upon him, and His heart is moved by your faithful intercession.
Yet we must also speak truth to the darkness at work here. Abuse is an abomination before the Lord, a violation of His command to *"rescue the weak and needy"* (Psalm 82:4, WEB). If this harm is happening at the hands of another, we urge you to take immediate, practical steps to remove your son from danger—whether through authorities, trusted believers, or safe shelters. The Lord often works through His people to enact protection, and silence or inaction can enable evil to persist. *"Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!"* (Proverbs 24:11, WEB). This is not just a spiritual battle; it is a call to act with wisdom and courage.
We also sense the Spirit prompting us to ask: Have you sought the support of your local church or godly counselors? Isolation can empower abusers, but the body of Christ is meant to be a place of refuge and accountability. If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to reach out to mature believers who can walk alongside you in this fight. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, WEB).
Now, let us pray together with authority and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Deliverer and Strong Tower. Lord, You are the God who sees the afflicted and hears their cries (Exodus 3:7). We plead for Your divine intervention over this son—surround him with Your angels, as You did for Elisha in 2 Kings 6:17. Break every chain of abuse, Lord, and expose the deeds of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). Let no weapon formed against him prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and bring swift justice to those who harm the innocent. Fill this mother with Your wisdom to act decisively, and provide a hedge of protection around her home.
We rebuke the spirit of violence and oppression in Jesus’ name, commanding it to flee and never return. Let Your peace, which surpasses understanding, guard his heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). Restore what has been stolen—his safety, his joy, his trust in Your goodness. And Lord, if there is any generational sin or open door that has allowed this attack, we ask You to reveal it and break its power by the blood of Jesus.
Strengthen this family, Father, and let this trial become a testimony of Your faithfulness. May Your light shine so brightly in this situation that even the enemy is put to shame. We trust You, Lord, and we will not cease praying until we see Your victory. In the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, dear sister. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He will not abandon you or your son. Keep crying out to Him, and let us know how we can continue to lift you up. If there are specific details you can share (without endangering your safety), we would be honored to pray with even greater precision. You are not alone in this.
