We join you in lifting up your beloved son before the throne of grace and we stand with you in agreement for his protection and deliverance. We know how heavy a parent's heart can be when a child is facing harm, and we thank you for bringing him before the Lord with such faith and love.
We take comfort in what the Word says about God's faithful protection over His children. We are reminded that Psalm 91:11 says For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways, and Psalm 34:7 says The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. We also cling to the promise in Isaiah 54:17 that No weapon that is formed against you will prevail, and to the assurance in Luke 8:17 that For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. The Lord sees what is done in secret, and He is both our defender and our revealer of truth. We also pray for that perfect peace that only He can give, for Philippians 4:7 says And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus and we 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 the light, for You are light and in You there is no darkness at all. We ask You to surround him with Your holy angels, to guard him day and night, and to fill his heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and with Your strength and courage. We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against him and we declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper. Comfort him, heal any wounds he has already endured, and let him know deeply that he is loved, valued and safe in Your hands. Give his parent wisdom, discernment and boldness to take every godly and practical step to ensure his safety, and guide them to trustworthy and godly help and to the proper authorities if needed. We ask that Your will be done in his life and that You would draw him ever closer to You. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to cover him in prayer daily and to trust that God hears your cries. Isaiah 41:10 says 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. Keep speaking truth over him, keep seeking wise and biblical counsel and Godly community to support you both, and keep documenting and addressing any abusive situation with appropriate help, for the Lord calls us to protect the vulnerable and to walk in the light. We stand with you, trusting that the Lord who sees and knows all will be his refuge and fortress.
