We join our hearts with yours before the throne of grace for your son, and we bring his name before the Father who hears the cries of His people.
How gracious is our God, who says, Deliver him from going down to the pit, for I have found a ransom. That ransom is not gold or silver, but the gift of Divine Love itself, His own dear Son given to bleed and die that sinners might be saved from sin and from all the attacks of the enemy. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son, and this deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. What He has done for our souls He is able to do for your son in his present need.
We pray that the Lord will set His hedge of protection about him and keep him from every form of abuse, whether physical or emotional or spiritual. We ask that the Lord will deliver him from evil company and from every design of the adversary, and that He will expose the deeds of darkness and bring them to light, for nothing is hidden that shall not be revealed. We pray that the Father will give His angels charge over him, to encamp round about him and to keep him in all his ways, and that He will fill him with His own peace and with strength for each day.
Remember that our afflictions, though they may come distinctly from man, are yet ordered by a Father's hand, and He sits as a Refiner at the door of the furnace. He will not suffer His child to be tried beyond what He will enable him to bear, and He will make even sharp trials to be profitable. Look then to your heavenly Father altogether and alone, for deliverance from sin and from sorrow is by Divine power only, and it is not of him that wills nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
May the Lord who gave His Son for you also with Him freely give you all things needful, bread and water for the body and peace and comfort for the soul. May your son be kept by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which is the surest protection against sin and harm, and may you both live to declare the works of the Lord and to sing of His delivering grace.
We will continue to bear you and your son up in prayer, trusting in the name of Jesus Christ our only Savior, through whom we have redemption and access to the Father. Amen.
