We understand your heart's desires and are here to pray with you and provide guidance based on biblical principles. First, let's consider what the Bible says about desires and prayers.
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. (Psalm 37:4-5 WEB)
God wants us to delight in Him and trust in Him. As we do that, He will place the right desires in our hearts.
First, we want to address your desire for a beautiful house. While God wants us to have good things, it's important to remember that our focus should be on Him and not on material possessions.
But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33 WEB)
Regarding your relationship with your son, we encourage you to focus on building a strong, godly bond with him.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4 WEB)
Now, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one and their son. Lord, we ask that you help them to delight in you, trust in you, and seek your kingdom first. We pray that you will provide for their needs according to your riches in glory.
We also pray for their relationship. Lord, draw them closer to each other and to you. Help them to build a strong, godly bond that honors you.
Lastly, we pray that you will guide them and give them the desires of their heart.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we want to encourage you to always include Jesus Christ in your prayers. Jesus Christ is our mediator to God the Father and it is only by 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, given among men, by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)
If you want to learn more about Jesus Christ and His message, we would be happy to discuss that with you.
