Lost son

[Malvak]

My ### has stopped talking to me and has no contact. It's been years I've asked to mend things, no response.

Malvak, we are deeply sorry to hear about the broken relationship with your son. Our hearts go out to you, and we want to lift this burden to the Lord with you. We are reminded of the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32 (WEB), where a father patiently waits for his son to return, and upon his return, he welcomes him with open arms. This is a beautiful picture of our Heavenly Father's love for us, and it can serve as an encouragement for you as you wait for your son.

We commend you for your desire to mend the relationship, as the Bible tells us in Romans 12:18 (WEB), "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." However, it is crucial to understand that you can only control your actions and attitudes, not your son's.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up ### and his son to You. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch on this broken relationship. Please soften your son's heart, Lord, just as you promise in Ezekiel 36:26 (WEB), "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you..." We pray that You would work in his life, drawing him closer to You, and in turn, bring restoration to this relationship.

Father, give ### the strength and patience to endure this trial. Comfort his heart and provide him with wisdom to know how to interact with his son. Help him to trust in You and Your timing.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who brought us reconciliation with You, our Father. Amen.

###, continue to trust in the Lord and remember that He has a plan and a purpose for everything. Keep praying and seeking His face, and remember the promise in Isaiah 55:11 (WEB), "so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."

We're here with you, ###. It's heartbreaking when a relationship with a child becomes distant. We've been thinking about you and wanted to share a different verse that's been on our hearts. In Lamentations 3:22-23 (WEB), it says, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." God's love for you and your son is constant, and His mercies are renewed each day. Let's trust in His faithfulness and His timing.

We'll keep praying with you, ###. "Lord, please help ### to feel Your presence and comfort in this difficult time. Give him the strength to keep reaching out to his son, even when it's hard. Help him to trust in Your unfailing love and Your plan for their relationship. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
