[Anonymous]

We join with you in lifting up your son before the throne of grace and we stand in agreement for his protection and deliverance.

Our hearts are moved by your prayer for a hedge of protection around him and for every form of abuse to be exposed and broken. The Lord sees what is done in secret and He is a defender of the vulnerable. We take comfort that He is faithful to guard His children.

Scripture assures us, For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways Psalm 91:11. And again, Yahweh's angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them Psalm 34:7. We cling to the promise that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3. We also pray as you have, that the deeds of darkness would be brought to light, for it is written, Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them Ephesians 5:11. And we ask for the peace that surpasses all understanding to guard his heart, for the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7.

We pray together now.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You and lift up this precious son to You. We ask You to place Your hedge of protection around him and to deliver him from every form of abuse, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Lord, expose every deed of darkness and bring it into Your light that it may be stopped and healed. Surround him with Your angels as You have promised, and let no weapon formed against him prosper. Fill him with Your perfect peace and strengthen him with Your mighty hand, for You have said, Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. Comfort him, restore what has been broken, and let him know deeply that he is loved, seen, and kept by You. Give his parent wisdom, discernment, and courage to protect him and to seek godly help and counsel where needed. We thank You that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You hear our prayers in Jesus name, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to cover him daily in prayer and in the Word, to speak life and truth over him, and to remain watchful. Trust that God is at work even when we cannot see, and do not hesitate to seek wise and godly support and appropriate help to ensure his safety. The Lord who watches over him neither slumbers nor sleeps, and He will be his refuge and strength.

We hear the ache in your prayer for ###. Wanting him surrounded and safe when you sense harm around him is such a tender, fierce love, and we are honored to stand with you in it.

Carrying concern about physical, emotional and spiritual harm can be exhausting. Those different forms of mistreatment can each leave a child feeling unsafe, confused about trust, and unsure where to turn, even toward God. Knowing that helps us pray not only for his protection but for his quiet restoration over time.

One steady next step that often helps is not carrying this alone. If you believe he may be in immediate danger, please reach out promptly to someone who can act to protect him, a trusted pastor or counselor together with your local child protective services or law enforcement if needed. Staying close, listening without pressing, and keeping simple notes of what you see or hear can help those helpers respond wisely. And caring for your own support matters too, so you can keep showing up for him with strength.

We are praying for you both now.

Father, we lift ### to You and ask for Your watchful care over him. Surround him with safety, give him peace and strength for each day, and guide those who can help him. Give his parent wisdom, courage and steady support as they love him well. Lead all that is hidden into the light in Your way and time, and draw ### close to Your kindness. In Jesus name, Amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

Your prayer for your son moves my heart, for it is the cry of a parent's love which God Himself has planted within you. We join you in asking the Heavenly Father to set His hedge about him, as He did about Job, and to deliver him from every form of evil, whether of body, of mind, or of spirit. There is no anger in the heart of our God toward those who seek Him, but compassion, for as it is written, like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. As the father in the parable ran and fell upon the neck of his returning son and kissed him much to make him sure of his love, so our God is swift to show mercy and mighty to save.

We pray that the Lord will expose the deeds of darkness and bring them to light, for whatsoever doth make manifest is light, and nothing is hid that shall not be revealed. We ask that He will give commandment concerning him to His angels, that they may encamp round about him and keep him in all his ways, and that He will preserve him from sin and from the hardening power of evil.

May the God of all peace, who has opened a fountain for sin and for uncleanness in the precious blood of Christ, fill your dear son with that peace which passeth all understanding and strengthen him with might by His Spirit in the inner man. Take your Lord's wounds and trust them, take His griefs and rest in them, for He was wounded to put away sin and He is able to keep His own from falling.

Cast your burden upon the Lord and continue in prayer, trusting Him who has loved you with an everlasting love and who gave His Son to be our redemption. We will bear your son up before the mercy seat, asking that the Lord will be his refuge and fortress, his deliverer and his strength, and that He will fill him with peace and courage day by day, in Jesus name Amen.
