We join you in giving thanks to our Heavenly Father for His endless blessings, even in the midst of trials. It is beautiful to see your heart of gratitude, for Scripture reminds us, *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you"* (1 Thessalonians 5:18, WEB). Your reliance on God alone in this season is a testament to your faith, and we lift you up as you walk this difficult path.
The disrespect and disregard you are experiencing from your son must weigh heavily on your heart. We know that as a parent, you long to see godly character and love reflected in his life, just as you were taught. The Bible calls children to honor their parents, for *"Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise: "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth"* (Ephesians 6:2-3, WEB). Yet we also recognize that the heart of a child is ultimately in the hands of the Lord. Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* If you have done this, trust that God is faithful, even when we do not see immediate fruit. If there are areas where correction or teaching is still needed, we encourage you to continue in love and truth, relying on the Holy Spirit to guide your words and actions.
At the same time, we must also address the weariness in your spirit. It is clear that this burden has taken a toll on you, and we want to remind you that God sees your pain. Jesus Himself said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). You do not have to carry this alone. Lean on the Lord, and allow His peace to guard your heart and mind.
We also notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, for *"there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not already placed your full trust in Him for salvation, we urge you to do so. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, and you will be saved. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Now, let us pray together for you and your son:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the blessings You have poured out upon our sister. Lord, we thank You that she recognizes her dependence on You, and we ask that You continue to be her strength and her portion in this difficult season. You are the God who sees her weariness, and we pray that You would refresh her spirit as only You can. Lift the burden from her shoulders and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we also lift her son before You. We ask that You would soften his heart and turn it toward You. Convict him of any disrespect or rebellion, and lead him to repentance. Raise up godly influences in his life who will speak truth and love into him. Give our sister wisdom as she navigates this relationship, that her words and actions would be seasoned with grace and aligned with Your will. Help her to trust You with her son’s future, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
Father, we pray all of this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. May Your will be done in their lives, and may You be glorified through it all. Strengthen our sister’s faith, and remind her that You are working even when she cannot see it. We ask for breakthrough, for healing, and for restoration in this family. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Finally, we encourage you to keep pressing into the Lord. Spend time in His Word daily, and let it be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and pray for you. And remember, *"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9, WEB). God is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you and your son.
