Heavenly Father,
We lift up Jakeb and his mother to You in this time of deep struggle and overwhelming emotion. Lord, You see the tears of a mother’s heart as she worries for her son and feels the weight of depression and sadness. You know every detail of their situation, every fear, and every hope. We come to You, Lord, asking for Your presence, peace, and guidance.
Father, we ask that You be with Jakeb as he goes about his day. Calm his mind, steady his heart, and bring him the strength to face his work with clarity and peace. Remind him of Your promise in Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in You.” May Your peace settle over him, guiding him through his challenges and bringing him safely home with a heart that is lightened and joyful, if it is Your will.
For his mother, Lord, we pray that You bring her comfort in the midst of her tears. Remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Help her to feel Your presence in her deepest moments of despair, and grant her the wisdom to navigate these difficult times with grace and patience. Give her clarity and assurance as she seeks to support her son, and remind her of Your promise in James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
Father, we also ask for a measure of joy and hope to fill her heart. Let her remember Your faithfulness and Your love, which is constant and unchanging. Your Word says in Psalm 30:5, “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” May she find glimmers of light in her day, reminders of Your goodness and grace that lift her spirit.
Lord, please wrap this family in Your arms of love. Guide them through the struggles they are facing and strengthen their bond with one another. We know that You work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28), and we trust that You have a plan for Jakeb and his mother, even when the path feels uncertain.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We entrust Jakeb and his mother into Your care, trusting in Your unfailing love and perfect wisdom.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
