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, and we take comfort in knowing that He hears the cries of His people. In Psalm 91:11-12, the Lord declares, *"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 watches over those we love with a love far greater than our own!
Yet we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy seeks to harm, deceive, and destroy, but Jesus has already triumphed over him through His death and resurrection. We stand on the authority of Christ’s name, which is above every name, and we declare that no weapon formed against your son shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord will expose every hidden scheme of the enemy, for *"there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known"* (Matthew 10:26). Let the light of Christ shine into every dark place, breaking chains of abuse—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—and bringing freedom and healing.
We also encourage you to continue covering your son in prayer daily, for the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much (James 5:16). Teach him, if he does not already know, to put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—as his defense against the enemy’s attacks (Ephesians 6:10-18). If your son is not yet walking closely with the Lord, we pray that this season of trial will draw him into a deeper relationship with Jesus, where he finds his refuge and strength.
Father, we thank You for Your hedge of protection around this son. We ask that You surround him with Your angels, guarding him from all harm and evil. Lord, expose every hidden work of darkness in his life and bring it into the light of Your truth. Break every chain of abuse—physical, emotional, or spiritual—and set him free by the power of Your Spirit. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and grant him wisdom to discern Your voice above all others. If he has strayed from You, Lord, draw him back with cords of love. Strengthen his faith, renew his mind, and let him know that You are his ever-present help in trouble. We declare that no harm will overtake him, no disaster will come near his dwelling, for You, Lord, are his protector (Psalm 91:10). We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
