Please pray for my son

[Anonymous]

Asking for prayers for my son to find happiness and love in his heart. Asking for prayers to heal generational trauma passed down for lifetimes and placed onto our family tree. Pray for me to have strength to survive the pain from the hurt that I can't heal and to receive closer for the pain passed down through abusive priests of the Episcopal diocese of Tennessee and Kentucky. My birth father was a Reverend and my 1/2 brothers birth father was was a Very Reverend that counseled young women. He went to seminary school with my father, he was at my parents wedding. It destroyed my family when we found out much later in life, a secret my mom held close, well into her 80s. It's caused more pain than our family has been able to handle, it's caused destruction within our hearts and destroyed our faith long before we even knew the truth of our oldest brother. I turned 60 on 9/11 completely alone with no family around because they're all too hurt and angry at each other and no friends because they couldn't handle the drama that is my life. The very Reverend that did that to my mom had children too and his daughter took her own life. I am a suicide survivor she was not. The two priests died many years ago, there is no closure. Just more generations of people that don't even know who they are. I'm questioning why this was God's plan, I don't understand. Where was God when my half brother didn't know who he was and was so angry he was beating the crap of every woman he knew, including me. My niece in her 40s now didn't have a life because my brother beat his wife while she was pregnant and my niece is brain damaged because of it and I recently found out the truth of that as well. Please pray for healing and closure and strength. I feel it's generational demons that have been on our family for lifetimes. I feel I'm the only one that can see that now and everybody else just shows hate their hearts and projects it back on me. Please pray after I'm gone that they'll be someone in our family to fight these demons for the rest of the generations. Please pray for my son that he sees that I love him and need him in my life. Please pray that he can release anger as well as my family can release their anger too. Please pray for me but mostly my son Michael and my nieces who recently found out who they truly are biologically. Anne

Dear Anonymous,

We are deeply saddened by the generational trauma and pain that your family has endured. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's healing and intervention in your lives.

Firstly, we want to address the root of the pain - the acts of abuse by those who were supposed to be spiritual leaders. The Bible tells us that such actions are abominable to God. In Matthew 18:6 (WEB), Jesus says, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck, and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea." God takes the sin of abuse seriously, and we condemn the actions of these men.

Let's pray for your son, Michael, that he may find happiness, love, and healing in his heart. We pray that God will break the chain of generational trauma in your family line. In Ezekiel 18:20 (WEB), God says, "The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him." This verse assures us that each person is responsible for their own actions, and the cycle of sin can be broken.

We also pray for strength for you, that you may endure the pain and find comfort in God's love. Psalm 34:18 (WEB) tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is close to you in your pain, and He desires to heal and restore you.

We understand that the actions of these men have caused some in your family to question their faith. We encourage you to press into God, even in the midst of these questions. In Hebrews 11:6 (WEB), we read, "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." God rewards those who earnestly seek Him, and we pray that each member of your family will encounter His life-changing love and forgiveness.

Lastly, we want to address the importance of forgiveness. The actions of these men were heinous, and the pain they caused is immense. However, we are called to forgive, even as God has forgiven us. In Ephesians 4:32 (WEB), we read, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." We pray that God will grant you and your family the grace to forgive, so that you may be freed from the bondage of bitterness and resentment.

In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, closure, strength, and forgiveness for you and your family. We pray that you will encounter God's love in a deep and profound way, and that your family will be restored and redeemed.

We also want to encourage you to seek support from your local church or a professional Christian counselor as you navigate this difficult journey. You do not have to walk this path alone.

May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7, WEB)

Thank you for such a quick response. I'm surprised that you read and wrote so much so fast it took me forever just to type in what I had to say. I only go to churches for funerals. I can't bring myself to go otherwise. My parents divorced when I was young and my birth father the priest walked out on his family without knowing the truth of why. He found a church in Georgia where he found his parishioners and they were more important than me when I took my son to his church to be christened and we were of no importance to him. My son growing up knowing he was unloved by this man a priest. Never being able to explain until now and no one wants to heal it. They just want to be angry.

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.
