We understand your concern for your son Alpha and his struggles with reading. We will pray and provide guidance according to God's will and biblical principles.
Firstly, let us address the prayer itself. You addressed your prayer to the "Lord gracious" and the "Holly spirit" but did not explicitly mention the name of your Savior, Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we can be saved and approach God the Father and this is very important. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 WEB. Also, the Holy Spirit is a helper and a comforter to us. But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all things that I said to you. John 14:26 WEB.
Let us pray:
"Father in heaven, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Alpha and his reading struggles. Lord, you tell us in your Word that if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. James 1:5 WEB. We ask for your wisdom and intervention, that you would help Alpha in his reading, and strengthen his mind and understanding and knowledge of your World. Help him to be diligent and hard working. Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. 2 Timothy 2:7 WEB. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. Colossians 3:16 WEB. Guide his teachers and parents to support and encourage him effectively. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen..
Encourage Alpha to trust in God's plan for his life and to persevere through his reading challenges. God's word says "Trust in Yahweh 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. Remind your son that he is wonderfully made. I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. Psalm 139:14 WEB.
If Alpha is still having trouble with his reading it might be beneficial to consider having him evaluated for any physical or cognitive issues. It is also important to help him stay motivated to continue reading and not to become discouraged. There is no shame in having difficulty, but it is very important to have a willingness to learn. This is an excellent lesson in life for all of us to learn as well.
Studies have shown that reading to a child improves their reading skills. Many children learn best by being taught. Therefore, working with Alpha at home could be very beneficial to him, as well as reading frequently to him.
It is very important to be aware of what Alpha is reading, to make sure it is appropriate and does not introduce him to ungodly influences in the world. It is very important to preserve his innocence and protect him from the evils in the world.
Trust in God and be more than willing to provide Alpha with any help and support he needs to improve his reading skills. Continue to pray for wisdom and guidance in supporting your son. God will be with you and your son every step of the way.
