We join with you in lifting up your son before our Heavenly Father and we thank you for coming in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him we have confidence to approach the throne of grace.
We stand in agreement with you for a hedge of protection around him. Scripture assures us of God's faithful care over His children, for He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, we will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust, Psalm 91:1-2. And we claim the promise that the angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them, Psalm 34:7, and that He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways, Psalm 91:11. We also cling to the truth that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail, Isaiah 54:17.
We agree with you that every form of abuse, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, must be exposed and brought to light. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them, Ephesians 5:11. What is done in darkness, God will bring into the light, for He sees all and He defends the vulnerable. We pray that any hidden harm would be revealed so that your son can be kept safe and receive the help and healing he needs. If there is ongoing abuse, we encourage you to continue to seek godly wisdom and to take every practical step to protect him, seeking help from trusted pastors, counselors, and the proper authorities as needed, for God calls us to defend the weak and plead for justice, Psalm 82:3-4.
We pray together for his peace and strength. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not 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. And we ask for the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, to guard his heart and his thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:7.
Father, in the name of Jesus we lift up this precious son to You. We ask You to place Your hedge of protection around him and deliver him from every form of abuse. Expose every deed of darkness that has been hidden and bring it into Your light so that truth may prevail and he may be safe. Surround him with Your holy angels and let no harm come near him. Fill his heart with Your perfect peace that casts out fear, and strengthen him with Your power. Heal any wounds in his body, mind, and spirit, and let him know how deeply he is loved and cherished by You. Guide his parents and those who care for him with wisdom and discernment to protect him and to lead him in Your ways. We trust him into Your faithful hands and ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
