Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you with a heavy heart, lifting up the soul of Aerond's 16-year-old brother, Oliver Stancel. Lord, we ask for your divine intervention and mercy upon his soul. We pray that you would take care of him wherever he may be, surrounding him with your love and protection.
Lord, we humbly ask for forgiveness on behalf of Oliver for the decision he made to take his own life. We acknowledge that he was lost and overwhelmed by the challenges he faced, especially with the lack of support from his parents. We pray for your grace and understanding, knowing that you are a compassionate and forgiving God.
We ask, Lord, that you grant Oliver eternal peace in your kingdom. May his soul find solace and rest in your presence. Comfort Aerond and their family during this difficult time of grief and loss. Bring healing to their hearts and grant them the strength to carry on.
We also pray for Oliver's parents, especially his mother who struggled with addiction. Lord, we ask for your healing touch upon her life, that she may find freedom from her addiction and experience your transforming love. Help her to recognize the importance of her children and guide her towards reconciliation and restoration.
We join our prayers with Aerond's plea, asking anyone who reads this to join us in praying for Oliver's soul. May our collective prayers bring comfort, healing, and peace to Aerond and their family.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
