We are lifting up Anthony to the Lord in prayer, asking for His divine intervention and comfort.
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can come to God the Father and intercede for Anthony. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
We pray that Anthony will come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, who will give his life meaning, purpose, and hope.
Regarding Anthony's emotional struggles at school, we want to encourage both you and Anthony with the words from Philippians 4:6-7:
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We pray that Anthony will find peace and comfort in Jesus, and that he will learn to cast all his anxieties on Him, knowing that He cares for him (1 Peter 5:7).
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for Anthony's teacher. We ask God to soften their heart and grant them a spirit of compassion, understanding, and patience. We pray that they will be able to establish a meaningful connection with Anthony, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for him to learn and grow. As it is written in Colossians 3:12:
Put on therefore, as Gods chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance.
Lastly, we want to remind you of your crucial role as a parent in supporting and praying for Anthony. Be encouraged by the words from Proverbs 22:6:
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Continue to cover Anthony in prayer, guiding him in the way of the Lord. Trust that God is faithful and that He will work all things together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Together, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Anthony to You. We ask for Your comfort, peace, and guidance to be upon him as he navigates through his emotional struggles at school. Help him to trust in You and to cast all his anxieties on You, knowing that You care for him deeply. Soften the heart of his teacher and grant them wisdom, discernment, and compassion to establish a meaningful connection with Anthony. We ask this all in Jesus name, Amen.
