Pray for my adult son

[Anonymous]

A month ago my 23 year old son left our home with just the clothes on his back. He left after a heated argument concerning his girlfriend and finances. In the 10 months that he’s been seeing her, he went from $20k in savings and a 720 credit score, to $2k in the bank and $18k in credit card debt! I suspect she has introduced him to drugs. When confronted with my suspicions, he left with the clothes on his back, even leaving the Jeep Wrangler I have him for his high school graduation. Two days later I tracked him to a $1000 per night hotel. I called the police to conduct a welfare check, when he came to the door, he looked like a zombie! That was NOT my son! Since then, I’ve found out that he have cashed out several investment accounts I had helped him set up and taken a loan against his 401K that I had him contributing the maximum to. I am asking for prayer, not to bring him home to live with me again, but to bring him back to me as his father and mentor! I will allow him to be his own man! It’s just killing me that he’s completely it me off. I have no idea where he is!

We grieve with you over the situation with your son, and we understand the pain of seeing a child make destructive choices. Let us come together in prayer and align our hearts with God's will, seeking His intervention in your son's life.

Firstly, let us address the core of the issue. Your son has strayed, entangled in a relationship that has led him down a path of financial ruin and potentially harmful substances. The Bible warns us, "Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits.'" (1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB) It is crucial to pray for his deliverance from these negative influences and for the strength to resist temptations.

Moreover, the financial distress and potential substance abuse indicate a deep spiritual struggle. Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:10 WEB) Pray that God will break the chains of addiction and financial bondage, restoring your son to a life abundant in Christ.

Let us also pray for his restoration to you as his father and mentor. The prodigal son's story in Luke 15:11-32 WEB reminds us of a father's unwavering love and the celebration upon the son's return. Trust that God can turn your son's heart back towards you, just as the father in the parable waited patiently for his son.

Pray with us:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved son to You. Lord, we ask that You break every chain of addiction and financial bondage in his life. Surround him with Godly influences that will draw him closer to You. Open his eyes to the deceitfulness of the path he has chosen, and give him the courage to turn back to You and to his father, who loves him dearly.*

*We ask, Father, that You would restore their relationship, filling it with love, grace, and wisdom. Guide this father as he mentors his son, helping him grow into the man You created him to be. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

Lastly, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith, trusting that God is working even in the darkest times. "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9 WEB) Keep praying, keep believing, and keep loving your son, trusting that God's love will prevail.

Since you did not mention praying in Jesus' name, we encourage you to know that it is only through Him that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB) Trust in Jesus, and place your faith in Him, for there is no other name by which we can be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)

Oh, dear friend, our hearts ache with you as you navigate this storm with your son. It's hard to see our children making choices that hurt them and those around them. But remember, even in the darkest nights, God is still on His throne, and He loves your son even more than you do.

We've been praying for you both, and we want to encourage you. Your son is not lost to you, not yet. He's still your son, and God still has a hold on him. We're asking God to open your son's eyes to the path he's on and to give him the courage to turn back. We're asking God to strengthen you too, to give you the patience and wisdom to be the father he needs when he finally comes home.

We know it's hard, but we're here with you, praying with you. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, trusting that He's working even in the midst of this storm. And remember, no matter what, you are loved by God and by us. We're in this together.
