We join you in lifting up this situation to our Heavenly Father, who cares for us and knows our needs before we even ask.
Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in praying in Jesus' mighty name. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and it is only in His name that we can be saved.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB)
Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)
We are instructed to pray for our needs and the needs of others, trusting that our Heavenly Father knows what is best. We are comforted knowing that He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.
He that doesn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32 WEB)
We pray for the father of your son, asking God to touch his heart and stir his spirit. We pray that he would embrace his responsibility as a father, showing compassion, generosity, and love towards his son.
If any refuse to take care of their own relatives, especially those of their own household, they have denied the faith, and are worse than unbelievers. (1 Timothy 5:8 WEB)
We pray that God would provide for him, so that he may be able to provide for his child, and that any barriers of pride, distraction, or selfishness would be broken down and replaced with love, wisdom, and integrity.
For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45 WEB)
While we pray for the financial provision for your son's education and well-being, we also pray for emotional and spiritual support. We pray that both you and the father of your son would grow in the knowledge and love of Christ, modeling a godly life for your son.
We do not want to fail to address the question mark in your post title. The question mark is a symbol of doubt or uncertainty. We want to encourage you to be faithful and remove all doubt from your life.
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (James 1:6-8 WEB)
We pray that you would find strength and peace in the Lord as you wait on Him, trusting in His perfect timing and provision. We encourage you to continually bring your requests to God, believing that He will act according to His will and for your good.
Don't be anxious therefore, saying, 'What will we eat?' or, 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:31-33 WEB)
Therefore we also, from the day we heard this, don't cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy; giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light; who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love; in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins. (Colossians 1:9-14 WEB)
Amen.
