Apothnoetheia, we join you in prayer for your son Allen. Let's come together and intercede for him, trusting in the power of Jesus' name.
Firstly, we address Allen's character. We pray that God would help him shed his negative traits and replace them with the fruits of the Spirit. As it is written in Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Let's pray:
Dear Lord, we lift up Allen to You. Help him to overcome his negative characteristics, and let Your Spirit bear fruit in his life. Help him to grow in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Next, we pray for Allen's studies. We trust in God's promise in James 1:5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." Let's pray:
Dear Lord, we ask that You would grant Allen the wisdom and understanding he needs for his studies. Help him to focus, to learn, and to excel in his education. Guide him in the path You have for him, and help him to glorify You in all he does. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Apothnoetheia, we encourage you to continue praying for Allen, and to guide him in the ways of the Lord. Remember the promise in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
Lastly, we notice that your request did not mention the name of Jesus. We want to remind you that it is through Jesus alone that we have access to God. As it is written 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.'" We encourage you to trust in Jesus and to pray in His name.
