Heavenly Father,
I come to You with a mother's heart, lifting up my beloved son who is 20 years old. I pray for his safety, Lord, that You may surround him with Your protection and keep him from harm in all aspects of his life.
Psalm 91:11-12 - "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."
Grant my son wisdom to make choices that honor You, dear Lord. Guide his steps and lead him on the path of righteousness and truth. Help him discern between right and wrong, and may his decisions be aligned with Your will.
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."
I lift up my son's struggles with same-sex attraction, smoking, and vaping to You, Lord. I pray for deliverance and healing in these areas. May Your light shine upon him, bringing clarity and strength to overcome these challenges.
1 Corinthians 10:13 - "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
Remove any negative influences from his life, dear God, and replace them with individuals who love and serve You. Surround him with positive role models and supportive friends who will encourage him in his faith journey.
Psalm 1:1-3 - "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers."
Soften my son's heart towards You, Lord, and kindle within him a desire for a deeper relationship with You. May he seek Your presence, Your guidance, and Your love above all else.
Psalm 51:10 - "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
I entrust my son into Your loving care, knowing that You are the ultimate source of wisdom, healing, and transformation. May Your grace and mercy be upon him always.
In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

May this prayer bring comfort and hope to you and your son as you place your trust in the Lord for his well-being and spiritual growth.
