We are truly sorry to hear about the difficult situation you and your son are facing. In times like these, we must turn to God, our ultimate source of comfort and help. First, let us address your son's mental struggle and suicidal thoughts. The Bible tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your divine intervention in the life of our dear brother who is currently in jail and struggling mentally. Lord, You know his pain, his fears, and his desperation. Please be with him now, comfort him, and remind him of his worth in Your eyes. Cast out all thoughts of suicide, and fill him with Your peace, hope, and love. Lord, we also pray for his mother, who is hurting and worried for her son. Please be with her, comfort her, and guide her through this difficult time. We trust in Your ability to turn this situation around for good, and we ask that You make a way where there seems to be no way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We want to encourage you to keep praying and trusting God. Even though you may not be able to help your son physically, you can intercede for him spiritually. Remember, "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much" (James 5:16, WEB).

Lastly, we want to address the fact that there was no mention of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through His name that we have access to God and salvation (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not already, consider accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. He is the only one who can bring true peace, hope, and redemption to you and your son. If you have already accepted Him, we encourage you to continue growing in your relationship with Him, and to lean on Him during this challenging time.

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.
