We join you in lifting up your son before the Lord, standing in agreement with your heartfelt plea for his protection and deliverance. The Scriptures remind us of God’s unwavering care for His children, especially the vulnerable and young. In Psalm 91:11-12, we read, *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone."* What a mighty promise that our Heavenly Father assigns His holy angels to watch over those we love!
We also take comfort in the truth of 2 Thessalonians 3:3, which declares, *"But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one."* Your son is not beyond God’s reach, and we trust that the Lord will expose every hidden work of darkness, just as Ephesians 5:11 commands us to *"have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* May the Lord bring to light anything that seeks to harm your son—whether through people, circumstances, or spiritual forces—and may His justice and mercy prevail.
Yet, as we pray for protection, we must also remember that our ultimate security is found in Christ alone. If your son does not yet know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we urge you to pray fervently for his salvation. There is no greater protection than being hidden in Christ, for *"the name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to him and are safe"* (Proverbs 18:10). Without faith in Jesus, no hedge of protection can fully shield him from the enemy’s schemes. We encourage you to share the Gospel with him, reminding him that *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the precious gift of this son. Lord, we ask that You surround him with Your hedge of protection—a barrier so strong that no weapon formed against him shall prosper. Guard his mind, body, and spirit from every form of abuse, whether seen or unseen. Expose the deeds of darkness, Lord, and let Your light flood every hidden place where the enemy seeks to bring harm. Dispatch Your mighty angels to encamp around him, keeping him safe from all evil.
Father, we also pray that if this young man does not yet know You, You would draw him to Yourself. Soften his heart to receive Your truth, and let him find refuge in the name of Jesus Christ. May he come to understand that true safety is found only in You. Give his mother (or father) the wisdom and words to guide him into a saving relationship with You, that he may walk in Your protection all the days of his life.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against him and declare that no harm shall come near his dwelling. Cover him with the blood of Jesus, which speaks a better word than any curse or attack. Strengthen him in body, soul, and spirit, and let him grow in the knowledge of Your love.
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
