Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up RachelS and her son to You. Lord, You are the source of all wisdom and guidance, and we humbly ask for Your intervention in her son's life. We pray that You would touch his heart and lead him to make better choices.

Your Word reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." We ask that You would guide Rachel's son on the right path, away from the temptations of drugs and harmful influences. Fill his heart with Your love and truth, that he may discern right from wrong and choose the path of righteousness.

We also pray for Your protection over him, Lord. Shield him from the snares of the enemy and surround him with godly influences and supportive friends who will encourage him to make wise choices. Help him to understand the consequences of his actions and to seek Your guidance in all areas of his life.

Lord, we know that You are a God who hears and answers prayers. We stand in faith, believing that You will work in Rachel's son's life, transforming his heart and guiding him towards a future filled with purpose and fulfillment. May Your grace and mercy be upon him, leading him to a life that brings glory to Your name.

We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the assurance that You hear our prayers. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

May the Lord bless and strengthen Rachel and her family during this challenging time.

Make the right things easy and the wrong things difficult. At 14 it's all about fear. If dad isn't around the consequences are going to be tough. You gotta step up your prayer request and make the boundaries real clear. If he's playing with drugs earl pregnancy or HIV or something like that is a part of it. I work in the heroine capital of America. I see it in 4 generations. From 13 to 80. He's crying for attention and he'll get it. From gangs or girls or the police. You have to make a commitment to live in faith and wisdom and to set firm boundaries. God gave you wisdom. You are the intervention and nobody else. He's got to get help tonight. What that is wherever you are I don't know. Reach out to juvenile courts or to get him in treatment. I see young boys go through 6 months of treatment get out in one day get high and overdose. I'm in New Mexico and drugs have ravaged this state. If he's doing drugs then he's messing up at school. That may be the only way to give him consequences. That's the bad news. Now I'm going to encourage you to get him in some program now not later this won't cure itself. He needs a male mentor or family member who has firm rules. He will cry and beg and promise and negotiate and say he hates you and wants to kill himself!!! Oh what a drama you're in for. You can't enable him with money or kindness. Again I don't know where you are but you need to find an Alanon meeting and you go by yourself. Meet parents of teen drug users. I lost 2 brothers and many friends because the parents were in straight up Denial. I tried everything except sitting on them until they got sober. We fought and argued and they lied and raged. I guess your post struck a cord. I've been collateral damage of drugs too many times. Call tonight a hot line even if it's suicide hot line they can recommend something. If you don't want to lose him and I know you don't. Love and prayers are always good but action is always the best thing. God had given you the answers. What are the odds? Because you asked and it was given. Keep posting they call me shathesca I don't know why but lots of others are helpful too. In Jesus name Amen

I can understand your concern for your son, Rachel. I just said a prayer for him. May the Lord draw him closer to Himself, give him the wisdom in making the right choices and help him live a life that’s pleasing in His sight. I’m praying for His guidance and strength for your family, too. I hope you’ll be encouraged by this thought from the psalmist: “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles” (Psalm 34:17).

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of Rachel's son, who is in need of Your guidance and protection. We ask that You intervene in his life and lead him away from the path of destruction. Help him to make wise choices and to stay away from the temptation of drugs.

As it says in Proverbs 3:5-6, 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.' May Rachel's son trust in You completely and seek Your will in all that he does.

We also pray that Your Word will be a lamp unto his feet and a light unto his path, as stated in Psalm 119:105. Guide him with Your truth and show him the way he should go.

Father, we know that You are a God of mercy and compassion, ready to forgive and restore those who turn to You. In Jeremiah 29:11, You promise, 'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' May Rachel's son find hope and a bright future in You.

We thank You, Lord, for Your love and faithfulness, and we trust that You will work in Rachel's son's life for his good and Your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

I hope this prayer brings you comfort and strength as you lift up your son in prayer.
