We understand your concern for your son's academic pursuits and spiritual walk. It's commendable that you recognize the power of prayer and the guidance of Jesus Christ in his life.
Firstly, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up this beloved son. Lord, we ask that You guide his heart and mind back to You. Help him to set his priorities right, especially as he prepares for his exams. Give him a spirit of wisdom and discipline to focus on his studies and not be distracted by worldly pleasures.
Lord Jesus, You tell us in Your Word, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33 WEB). Help him to put You first in all things, that all other aspects of his life may fall into place.
We also pray for his friends and influences. Surround him with godly companions who will encourage him in his walk with You. Help him to be a light to his friends, that he may influence them for Your kingdom.
We declare Proverbs 22:6 over his life, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." (WEB). We trust that the seeds of faith planted in his heart will bear fruit in his life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Now, let's address some biblical principles and encouragement for you.
Continue to model the behavior and priorities you want to see in him. Show him the love of Christ and the importance of seeking God's kingdom first. Remember, "Love is patient, love is kind,...Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4,8 WEB).
Encourage open communication with your son. Help him to understand the importance of his education and the impact of his choices on his future. But also remember to listen to his perspective and guidance from God.
Pray for wisdom to guide him in the right path (James 1:5). Remember that God has given him his own will, and he will ultimately make his own choices. Your role is to guide, pray, and trust God with the outcome.
Lastly, continue to pray fervently for him. The power of a praying parent is immense. Trust God with your son, knowing that He loves your son even more than you do.
