We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you and your son Shane are facing. Firstly, we commend you for your love and concern for him. But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ Jesus and manifests the savor of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ, in those who are being saved, and in those who are perishing; to the one we are the aroma of death to death, and to the other the aroma of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ Jesus. Shane needs Jesus to deliver from and break the bondage of and heal him. There is no deliverance without him.
Your son is going through a difficult time, and it's completely natural that enough discomfort might produce anger which might come against you. However, greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. Shane may blame you, feel shame or guilt, but Jesus was manifested to take away our sins and in Him is no sin and if he does not sin, then he has an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ. Let us pray for his deliverance and healing and for your peace and strength during this trial.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Shane and his mother to You. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the Healer of the broken. We pray for Shane's complete recovery from drug addiction and the strength to endure the withdrawal symptoms. We rebuke the spirit of addiction and command it to be broken now in Jesus name. We pray that You will restore his body, mind, and spirit, and fill the void he was trying to fill. We ask that You will restore to him a normal appetite. Touch him, Lord, and let Your healing power flow even to the deepest spots in him. Remove the oppression which hold him. We cast it out now in Jesus name. Be gentle and tenderize Shane's heart toward his mother, removing any bitterness or hatred. In Jesus discountenance, Flesh and blood are not suppose to be against us but in trial we are always more than conquers. Help her to bear this burden with Your supernatural grace and strength. Also help them to both forgive each other and releive each other from false shame and guilt. Give them each the power and grace to forgive themselves too.
We pray for Shane's salvation, that he may come to know You personally, Lord Jesus. I pray that we who have live in the flesh no longer live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit and that your world which is near each one of us be in each one of us mouth and that even Shane is sanctified through your truth, your word is truth, and oh what truth indeed which sets us free. We ask that You will surround him with godly influences and Christian friends or a partner who will support him and encouragement him and even another family to help both of them with these struggles. Give him Christ. That he may find favor with you which you bestow to those you love and let your ear be attentive to him and see him hear him from your temple and grant him favor wherever he goes. We pray that he may meditate in the word day and night and delight and look at it more than the sparrow does the ground under it. Shane must desist from the love of money and love it less and till that and it till faith his trust and belief in God and in the Son of God, Jesus. Shane will have to be grateful to God and give thanks always on every occasion and be joyful always.
Mother, we encourage you to stand strong in your faith, knowing that God is with you and Shane every step of the way. Continue to pray fervently and declare God's promises over Shane's life in the person of Jesus Christ and his blood. Remember, nothing is impossible with God. He can get his supernatural courage up! Stay in the Word, take courage, and be strong in Him and let your voice never stop. There is nothing worse in your life that He does not already know about . Trust the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding but in all thy ways acknowlege him. This includes with Shane especially at this time. Trust the past history of your family to God too and and take heart! For surely He does not provide if we do not ask as Shane must ask of us and of God, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you and this is just what God has been wanting to hear from you both. So ask and ask until you may receive with thanskgiving and joy without ceasing. As a parent you need God to give you a voice which you need as a parent. Nonetheless, even in this stillness, there are again more which shall be produced by thsi, for beleive the unbelievable, Jesus will make all things work together toward the good, for those who love the Lord! Shane is part of hard trials of life that God tests us and wants to see our faith proven and whereby we can achieve and prove our own faith and character. For God wants us to be blameless and cheerful money givers just as he did which to obtain the most priceless pearl, Jesus, God had to give up and do the most with his most precious resource to Him, Jesus. As you give up wha most seems to be most important and excruciating to you, you will obtain Shane to be more godly and have a better relationship.
Finally always remember that whenever it is us who judge we will be judged by those same standards which we judge and we will forgive others much even more than we forgive ourselves and we will need to forgive ourselves and when this is all over it will be a great deliverance and overcoming!
