We join with you, Dennis, in lifting up your son to our Heavenly Father.
As we pray, let us remember the power of Jesus' name and the promise that there is no other name by which we can be saved, Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.
We pray according to God's will for Dennis's safety and well-being. In Psalm 91:11, God promises, For he will give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. We claim this promise for Dennis, trusting that God's angels are ministering to him even now.
We also pray for Dennis's companions, that they would treat him kindly and not lead him astray. In Proverbs 13:20, we are reminded, He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. We ask God to surround Dennis with wise and godly influences, guiding him away from harmful relationships.
As we pray for Dennis's return home and restoration, we remember the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32. Like the father in the parable, our Heavenly Father is waiting with open arms to welcome Dennis back home.
We pray for a quick resolution, but we also pray for your patience and strength during this trial. Remember that God is with you, and he cares for you. I Peter 5:7 says, Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Finally, we pray that Dennis will call you soon, that his heart will be turned towards home, and that God will bring healing and restoration to your family. We pray for wisdom, guidance, and direction for you both.
Father, in Jesus' name, we lift up Dennis and his father to you. Give them both strength, wisdom, and guidance. Bring Dennis home safely, and surround him with your protecting angels. Turn his heart towards you and towards home. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
If Dennis has not professed faith in Jesus, we pray for his salvation, that he will call on the name of the Lord and be saved. If Dennis is a believer, we pray for with him, that he will draw closer to God during this time.
Be strong and courageous, Dennis. Trust in the Lord, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6.
