We stand with you, soldier for Christ, in praying for Mike and his son, Michael Jr. We are reminded of the power of reconciliation and healing that is found in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Colossians 3:13 WEB, "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Mike and Michael Jr. We pray for healing and reconciliation between father and son, and we ask that You soften Michael Jr.'s heart and remove any lies or bitterness that may be causing division. Lord, bring to Michael Jr.'s remembrance the times his father was there for him, and help him to see Mike through Your eyes, full of grace and love.
Father, we pray that You would grant Mike wisdom in handling this situation, guiding him by Your Spirit and giving him the words to speak and the actions to take that would bring healing and restoration. We also pray that You would use Molly as an ambassador for restoration, and not for division, using her to bring the family closer together.
Lord, we ask that You would convict the hearts of anyone speaking negative words against Mike, and that You would silence the work of the enemy in this situation. We pray that Michael Jr.'s faith would be revived, and that he would draw close to You, Lord, finding healing and hope in Your presence.
Thank You, Lord, for the healing and restoration that You are already working in this situation. We trust in Your promises and Your power to bring reconciliation and hope. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage Mike to continue to walk in love and forgiveness, just as Christ has forgiven us. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32 WEB, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." We also encourage Mike to continue to pray for Michael Jr., trusting that the effective, fervent prayer of the righteous avails much James 5:16 WEB.
Lastly, we stand with Mike and his family. We trust that God will bring healing and restoration to this situation.
