We understand that you are going through a challenging time with your son Dennis, and we want to lift you both up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God is always with us, even in difficult times. As it says in Hebrews 13:5, For he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
It's encouraging to see that you are reaching out to your son, even while he is in jail. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:36,
I was in prison, and you came to me.
It's also important to remember that God wants us to cast all our anxieties on him because he cares for us. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7,
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
However, we want to address something important. While it's good to want angels around Dennis, it's crucial to remember that our help comes from the Lord himself. As it says in Psalm 121:2,
My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Moreover, we should be cautious not to put our faith in created beings, but in the Creator himself. Also, it's important to pray in Jesus' name. As it says in John 14:6,
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
And in John 16:23-24 ,
In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up Valfyl and Dennis. Lord, we pray that you would comfort Valfyl's heart and give her your peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask that you would work in Dennis' life, even while he is in jail, and draw him close to you. We pray that Dennis would turn on his tablet and read the emails and letters from his mother. We ask that you would protect Dennis, keep him safe and healthy, and surround him with your presence.
Lord, we also pray that Valfyl would put her trust in you and not in created beings. We ask that you would give her the strength and wisdom to pray in Jesus' name.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Please come together in faith and prayer, upon praying we can claim in Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
Focus on prayer, the word, being thankful and faithful, not feelings or derivations from feelings.
