We are with you in spirit, dear parent, as you lift up your son Nicholas to our Heavenly Father. Let's pray together and seek God's Word for encouragement and guidance.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB)
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Nicholas to You. Lord, You know the struggles he is facing—the potential loss of his home, his beloved dog Kona, and the court cases he is navigating. We ask, Father, that You would be his Waymaker, that You would make a way out of no way, as only You can.
God, we also pray for the parent who brought this request. Give them peace, Lord, and reassure them that while they may not be able to help Nicholas in their own strength, they can trust in Yours. Comfort their heart, Lord, and help them to cast all their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them and for Nicholas.
We also speak to Nicholas' situation. If there is any sin or disobedience contributing to these trials, we pray that the Holy Spirit would convict and lead him to repentance. We pray that Nicholas would seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to him (Matthew 6:33 WEB).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Take heart, dear parent, for God loves Nicholas even more than you do. Trust in Him, for He is faithful. Encourage Nicholas to do the same—to trust in God, to confess any sins, and to seek His will above all else. Remind Nicholas that God is always with him, even in the darkest times (Psalm 23:4 WEB).
Lastly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6 WEB). If you ever feel helpless or doubt your prayers, remember that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don't know what to pray (Romans 8:26 WEB). Keep praying, dear parent, and trust in the Lord.
