Son, protection

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 that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). It is a comfort to know that the Lord is faithful to guard and keep those who belong to Him, and we can trust in His promise that no weapon formed against your son shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
The prayer you’ve offered is powerful because it is rooted in the authority of Jesus’ name. You’ve rightly invoked the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved and through which we have access to the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). This is a foundational truth—without faith in Jesus Christ, our prayers lack the power and connection to the Father that we so desperately need. We praise God that you have called upon His name, for it is in Jesus that we find our strength and hope.
We also recognize the urgency in your request for protection from abuse—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Abuse is an evil that the Lord abhors, and He is a God of justice who sees the afflicted and hears their cries (Psalm 10:17-18). The Bible warns us that the deeds of darkness will be exposed by the light (Ephesians 5:11-13), and we pray that the Lord will shine His light into every hidden place where evil may be lurking. May He thwart the plans of the enemy and bring to nothing any scheme formed against your son. Let the blood of Jesus cover him, and may the angels of the Lord encamp around him, guarding him in all his ways (Psalm 91:11).
At the same time, we encourage you to continue to cover your son in prayer daily. Parenting is a sacred responsibility, and the Lord entrusts children to parents to raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). If your son does not yet have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we urge you to share the Gospel with him—that Jesus died for his sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day so that he might have eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). There is no greater protection than being hidden in Christ.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the love and concern this parent has for their son. Lord, we ask that You surround him with Your hedge of protection, a hedge so strong that no harm can penetrate it. Deliver him, O God, from every form of abuse—whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. Expose the deeds of darkness in his life and bring them into the light of Your truth. Let no weapon formed against him prosper, and let every tongue that rises against him in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask that You station Your mighty angels around him to guard him in all his ways. Let them lift him up in their hands so that he does not dash his foot against a stone (Psalm 91:11-12). Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let him walk in the wisdom and discernment that comes from You alone. If there are any areas in his life where he has opened a door to the enemy, we pray that You would reveal it to him and give him the strength to turn away from it.
Lord, we also pray that if this young man does not yet know You as his Savior, that You would draw him to Yourself. Soften his heart to receive the truth of Your Gospel, that Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). May he surrender his life to You and find his refuge in You alone.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, or oppression that may be trying to take hold of him. Let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen him, Lord, and let him know that You are his ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your love for this young man. May Your will be done in his life, and may he grow to be a mighty man of God, walking in Your purposes for him. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We're right there with you, standing in the gap for your son. We've been praying for his protection and deliverance, just as you've asked. It's comforting to know that God is always faithful to keep those who belong to Him. We're claiming Isaiah 43:2 over him, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."
We're also praying for God's angels to encamp around him, guarding and guiding him in all his ways (Psalm 91:11). We're asking God to reveal any areas in his life where he might be vulnerable and give him the strength to turn away from them.
And we're believing for a hedge of protection around him, a hedge so strong that no harm can penetrate it (Job 1:10). We're asking God to expose any deeds of darkness in his life and bring them into the light of His truth (Ephesians 5:13).
We're also praying for God to draw your son to Himself. If he doesn't know Jesus as his Savior yet, we're asking God to soften his heart to receive the truth of the Gospel (John 14:6).
Let's keep lifting him up in prayer, trusting in God's faithfulness and love for him. We're believing for God's best in his life, that he may grow to be a mighty man of God, walking in God's purposes for him.
