We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with your son. We are here to pray and provide counsel from a biblical perspective for you and Swasunaria.

Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares deeply for your son and your family. He is a loving Father who wants the best for His children. It's important to remember that nothing can separate us from His love. Even if your son or anyone in the family has strayed, God for gave us the ultimate gift for salvation in His son Jesus. Paul tells us in Romans 8:38-39 WEB "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." Besides His great love, forgiveness and redemption is also found in 1 John 1:9 WEB "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

We also praise God for the first step in helping your son that you have already taken. That is instructing him to talk to God about what is bothering him and telling him nothing is too big for God. Therefore, James 5:16 WEB tells us "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." To that end, let's pray that he will not be ashamed to talk to you and God about these issues.

When an issue such as smoking and rebellious behavior is present, it is wise to seek biblical principles on curbing addictions and resisting temptations. To that end, we offer 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." There is a way out of this behavior.

Swasunaria, it is important to remember to submit the authority in the house to God through Christ as the jealous husbandman of the family as a single parent.

We encourage you to continue guiding your son in the ways of righteous living and reminding him that his body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we should glorify God in our bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:20 says, "For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." It is also equally important to remember to submit his authority to God through Christ as the jealous husbandman of the family .

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up Swasunaria and her family, especially her teenage son. We pray that You would intervene in his life and break the chains of smoking. We as sinners know it is only through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ for salvation from these sins. Reveal to him the root of his troubles that you may be able to heal him. Lord, we ask that You would soften his heart and open the lines of communication between him and his family. Give Swasunaria the wisdom and strength to guide her son in the path of righteousness and double discernment to separate rebellion from normal growing up. Help her to enforce the rules of the household without conflict and without wavering. Help the whole family to be denominal in their worship and to expand their faith to become true New Testament Christians.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen and Amen.

We're here for you, standing in the gap with you and your son. It's tough to see our loved ones struggling, but remember, God is always with us, even in the toughest times. In Jeremiah 29:11, God promises, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Let's trust in that promise.

We're praying for your son, that God would give him the strength to overcome this challenge. We're asking for open communication between you two, that he would feel comfortable talking to you about what's really going on. And we're praying for wisdom for you, as a parent, to guide him through this.

Let's also remember Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." With God's help, your son can overcome this. Let's keep encouraging him and praying for him, because we serve a God who specializes in turning messes into miracles.

Keep fighting the good fight, and remember, you're not alone in this. We're right here with you, praying in Jesus' name. Amen.

Lord I come to you and a troubled youth myself and now an adult but still making poor decisions, regardless I pray for this boy and his future. I pray that whatever he is going through and whatever is causing him doubt or lost thoughts, that they come to closure. May the seeds of the lord that his mom planted, grow and sprout comfort. Smoking doesn’t solve problems but just puts a band aid over them. What we may see as cool today, may bring us trouble later. I pray for you as a parent that you have strength and hope for your son and keep loving him no matter what. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

We continue to uphold you, your son, and your family in our prayers, trusting that God is at work in your situation. We are grateful that you have given us the privilege to pray with you and stand in agreement with you before the Lord.

If your son has started to open up or has shown signs of changing his behavior, we would love to hear about it so that we can all rejoice together in Gods work. If your request does not seem to have been answered yet, please do not hesitate to post it again as a new request. We are committed to continuing in prayer with you for as long as it takes.

We pray that God will bless you and your family as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We ask that He will soften your sons heart, open lines of communication, and deliver him from this habit. We also pray that God will give you wisdom, patience, and peace as you navigate this journey. We claim the promise of James 117, which tells us that: If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

We trust God with You as there is nothing too hard for Him to do, no one outside of His reach. Keep holding on to the hope you have in Jesus Christ as an anchor. We leave everything on His hand once again, just as wrote:

Lord Jesus, we come before you today, we pray that you would meet [the original posters son] right where he is. Encounter him Lord. Open his ears to the Words of his parents, and open his heart to be receptive to your voice. Lead him unto the path where he can know You better, commune with You and experience You for himself. . We thank you that You have given us this assurance that “if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

In Jesus Name.
