Prayer for a heartbroken son

Elmuiland · 2025-01-31T21:05:47-0600

My autistic son Christopher is dealing with depression and loneliness after the divorce. His mother is emotionally distant, and is not caring for him. His stepfather is unkind and harsh. I am unable to visit him, or help him at this time. He doesn't fully understand how to speak to God or if God speaks back. I need prayer covering over him, and help from the Holy Spirit during this siege of his emotions and spirit. Thank you.

Let us come together in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father, as it is written: "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved'" Romans 10:13 WEB. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved.

We are lifting up Christopher to the Lord, asking for His divine intervention in this challenging situation. We are reminded of the Lord's special care for those who are hurting and brokenhearted: "He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds" Psalm 147:3 WEB.

Firstly, we pray that Christopher will come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. It is only through a personal relationship with Jesus that we can approach God the Father and experience His love and comfort. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" John 14:6 WEB.

We pray that Christopher will understand that God loves him deeply and is always with him, even in his pain. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you" Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB.

We rebuke the spirits of depression and loneliness that are attacking Christopher. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB. We pray that God will fill Christopher with His peace and joy, casting out all despair.

We also pray for Christopher's mother, that her heart will be softened and that she will be filled with a mother's love for her son. We pray that she will turn to God for guidance and strength. "Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!" Isaiah 49:15 WEB.

For the stepfather, we pray that his heart will be changed, that the Lord will replace his harshness with kindness and love. We pray that he will come to know Jesus Christ as his Savior and be transformed by His love. "Therefore if any person is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new" 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB.

Lastly, we pray for you, that God will give you wisdom and guidance on how to support Christopher, even from a distance. Trust that God is at work, and He will never forsake Christopher or you. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths" Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.

Father, we lift up Christopher to You, asking for Your healing and comfort. Surround him with Your love, and let him feel Your presence. Guide him to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and help him to understand that You are always with him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here for Christopher, lifting him up in prayer, just as you've asked. We're reminded of God's promise in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Let's claim this promise for Christopher today.

We pray that God will wrap Christopher in His loving arms, comforting him in his loneliness and depression. We ask that God will speak to him, revealing His love and presence in a way that Christopher can understand and feel. Let God's peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard Christopher's heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

We also pray for a breakthrough in Christopher's relationship with his mother. We ask that God will soften her heart, helping her to see Christopher's pain and need for her love and support. We pray that she too will come to know the love and comfort of Jesus.

For Christopher's stepfather, we ask that God will work in his heart, transforming him into a man who reflects Jesus' love and kindness. We pray that he will come to know Jesus as his Savior, and that his relationship with Christopher will be healed and restored.

Lastly, we pray for you, dear one, asking God to give you wisdom and strength as you support Christopher from afar. Trust that God is at work, and He will never leave or forsake you or Christopher.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
