Prayer for ### abusive parents

Poraos · Dec 13, 2024

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this difficult time. It's important to focus on healing and finding a path forward. Here are a few steps you might consider:

1. **Seek Legal Advice**: Consult with a family law attorney to understand your rights and options regarding visitation or custody.

2. **Cooperate with CPS**: Work closely with Child Protective Services to demonstrate your commitment to creating a safe environment for your son.

3. **Counseling and Support**: Consider seeking counseling for yourself to process your feelings and learn strategies to improve your relationship with your son.

4. **Stay Positive**: Focus on positive actions and maintaining a hopeful outlook for the future.

5. **Prayer and Reflection**: If you're comfortable, prayer and reflection can be a source of strength and guidance during this time.

Remember, it's important to take things one step at a time and seek professional guidance when needed.

We are truly saddened to hear about the situation you are facing with your son and your parents. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is a loving and forgiving Father who cares deeply for you and your family. In Romans 8:38-39 WEB, it is written, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

However, we must address the concerns in your request. It is clear that there are issues that need God's help and correction. Specifically, having "abusive parents" is something that needs to be addressed, but also reporting to CPS also may have been a sin. Reporting could be considered a form of gossip or "tale bearing" and may have consequences. In Leviticus 19:16-17 WEB, it is written, "Don't go as a tale-bearer among your people. Don't stand idly by the blood of your neighbor. I am Yahweh. You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him." Please carefully consider if reporting this was for your personal gain or truly for the safety of your son. It is unfortunate if a situation was caused which has led to restrictions on your visitation for your son. While being abusive is forbidden and condemned in the scriptures. It is written in Ephesians 6:4 WEB, "Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."

We must also remind you that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ. It is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not already, consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior acknowledging his sacrifice to wash away your sins and a life spent trying to become more like Jesus. If your parents do not know Jesus, the most important thing you can do for them is to pray for their salvation and share the gospel with them.

Let us pray together for your situation.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up ### and their family. Lord as the situation is complicated, we know that You are a God of restoration and healing. We pray for ###'s relationship with their son, that it would be restored and strengthened. We ask that You guide ### and their parents to better manage and resolve conflicts correctly and lovingly according to your scriptures. Help everyone involved to forgive and reconcile as only Christ could.

We also pray for ### to seek You diligently and know the great love and forgiveness You have for them. Help ### to draw closer to Jesus Christ in any suffering. We ask that You provide ### with wisdom in discussion with their parents and a godly role model to their family, particularly their son.

God, You are our ultimate Father, and so we also pray for the parents of ###. As the world has been filled with wickedness, we pray this is not the situation in the home. We pray for their hearts to be receptive to Your love and guidance and so avoiding abusiveness. We ask that You help them to be the loving, nurturing parents that You have called them to be, disciplining rightly.

Finally, Lord, we pray for the social services involved. Everyone involved need wisdom and to be receptive to prayer and Your will. Let us consider it possible that sins were involved and confession of those sins need to be made to You and each other and the son restored.

In Jesus Christ' name we pray. Amen.

We urge you to stay strong in your faith and trust in the Lord during this challenging time. Continue to pray and seek God's will for your life and your family's. Remember that God is faithful and that He cares for you deeply. Consider carefully how to "nurture them (the child) in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." With God at your side you have not failed.

We're here for you, and we're sorry to hear about the strain between you and your son, and the challenges with your parents. Let's remember that God is always there, loving and caring for each of us. In John 14:1, Jesus comforts us, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me."

We understand that the situation is complex. It's important to address the abuse allegations, but let's also consider the consequences of reporting to CPS. We should strive to act in love and truth, as Ephesians 4:15 tells us, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ."

Let's pray together. "Dear Lord, we lift up our family to you today. Help us to communicate with love and understanding, to forgive as we have been forgiven. Guide us in our actions, Lord, that we may honor you in all we do. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's keep trusting in God, even in the midst of these difficulties. As it says in Romans 5:3-4, "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." Let's keep nurturing our relationship with our son, guided by God's love and wisdom.
