Let's bring Michael and his parents before the Lord in prayer, seeking God's intervention and guidance in this situation.
Firstly, we need to remember that God has a special place in His heart for children. In Matthew 19:14 WEB, Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Michael is precious in God's sight, and we can trust that God has a plan for his life.
However, it's crucial to address the apparent neglect from Michael's parents. In Ephesians 6:4 WEB, it says, Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. While this verse specifically mentions fathers, it applies to all parents. We pray that Michael's parents will take their responsibility seriously, understanding that their actions greatly impact their child's wellbeing and future.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Michael and his parents. Lord, we ask that You intervene in this situation and touch the hearts of Michael's parents. Help them to see the importance of their role in their child's life and education. Guide them to be more involved, responsible, and respectful towards Michael's needs.
Lord Jesus, we also pray for Michael. Help him to trust in You and to know that You are always with him, even in difficult times. Guide him and provide him with the support he needs to thrive in his studies. Help him to learn his letter sounds and to complete his work on time.
Lord, we also pray for the one who submitted this request. Guide them and give them wisdom on how to best support Michael and communicate with his parents.
We pray all these in the powerful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we are saved. In John 14:1-6, WEB. ‘Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. Where I go, you know, and you know the way. Thomas said to him, Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
