Dear Rulourtha, we join you in praying for your son, lifting up his struggles and desires to the Lord. We believe that God has a purpose and plan for his life, and we trust that He will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Firstly, let us address the concerns about your son's mental health. We know that God is able to bring healing and comfort to those who are hurting. As it is written in Psalm 34:18 (WEB), "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We pray that God will be close to your son, healing him from anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. May He grant him peace, focus, and clarity of mind.
Next, we address the issue of substance abuse. We must be clear that relying on THC or misusing ADHD medication is not God's will for your son's life. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:12 (WEB), "βAll things are lawful for me,β but not all things are expedient. βAll things are lawful for me,β but I will not be brought under the power of anything." We pray that God will break the chains of addiction and give your son the strength to resist temptation. May he find solace and fulfillment in the Lord rather than in substances.
We also pray that God will provide your son with motivation and wisdom to take on the responsibilities of adulthood. May he find joy in working hard, maintaining his living space, and building healthy relationships. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 9:10 (WEB), "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might." We pray that God will open doors for him to meet good friends, volunteer, and move forward in life.
Now, let us address your son's faith journey. You mentioned that he believes but has questions and doubts. It is important to remember that questioning is a normal part of faith. As it is written in Matthew 7:7 (WEB), "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you." We pray that God will reveal Himself to your son, granting him understanding and a deeper commitment. We also pray that God will provide a godly mentor or life coach to guide him in his walk with the Lord.
Lastly, we want to address the fact that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is crucial to remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We encourage you and your son to come before God in the name of Jesus, as there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift up Rulourtha's son to You. We ask for Your healing power to touch his mind and body, freeing him from mental health struggles and addiction. We pray that You will ignite a desire in him to live responsibly and diligently. Help him to grow in his faith and commitment to You, Lord. Provide him with a godly mentor to guide him in Your ways. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
