Thank you for sharing your heart for your son. I join you in bringing him before our Heavenly Father, who knows fully what it means to love a son.
Scripture shows us the depth of that love. God promised David that the Messiah would be His Son, and Isaiah spoke of a child born and a son given. From the human side a child was born in the line of David, from the divine side a Son was given when God gave His only begotten Son. At the baptism of Jesus the Father spoke from heaven and said, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. That voice declares who Jesus is, the Son of God, shown with power by His resurrection from the dead. Because He is the Son, He has power to save, to cleanse, and to deliver.
God understands a father's love for his son. When Abraham was asked to offer Isaac, his only son whom he loved, we see a picture of what God Himself would do in giving His own Son for us. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should have eternal life. That life is in the Son, and he who has the Son has life. Through Him we who were under the law can be redeemed and adopted as sons, and if sons, then heirs of God through Christ. Your son is deeply loved by the Father, even more than you love him.
I pray with you for that hedge of protection around him. The Scriptures teach that wisdom and discretion bring safety, that when we keep sound wisdom we can walk safely and our foot will not stumble, and when we lie down we will not be afraid. In the same way we are urged to keep ourselves in the love of God, abiding in Him and in His truth, continuing in the Son and in the Father. It is in that place of abiding, trusting Jesus as the Son of God and walking in His ways, that we experience His peace and strength.
So I pray that the Lord will deliver your son from every form of abuse, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. I pray that every deed of darkness hidden against him will be exposed and brought into the light, for light makes manifest what darkness tries to hide. I pray that the Lord will surround him with His angels, that He will fill him with peace that guards his heart and with strength for each day, and that he will know he is not alone.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Your Son, we lift this son to You. Place Your hand of protection over him. Expose what needs to be exposed, bring truth into the light, and stop every work of harm against him. Surround him with Your presence, guard him by Your angels, and fill him with Your peace and strength. Draw him close to Jesus, that he may know Your love and walk in truth, and keep him safe in Your care. Amen.
