We are truly saddened to hear about the struggle your son, Bryan, is facing, but we are thankful that you have turned to prayer as a source of hope and help. Remember, God is always listening and cares deeply for both you and your son.
Firstly, let us reinforce the power of praying in Jesus’ name. As it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB, "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." It is through Jesus that our prayers reach God's throne, so always invoke His name in your prayers.
For Bryan, we pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up Bryan. Lord, You know the struggle he is facing with addiction, and we ask for Your divine intervention. Break the chains of addiction in his life, Lord, and protect him from the influences that draw him away from You. Guide him to a place of healing and restoration, and lead him to seek treatment. We also ask for Your grace and protection over his children, that they may be kept safe and comforted. Turn Bryan’s heart towards You, Lord, and let him find the peace and strength that only You can provide. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
In your prayers, remember to ask God for wisdom and guidance as well. James 1:5 WEB says, "But 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." Trust that God will guide you in how to pray for Bryan and how to support him in his journey.
It is also important to pray for Bryan's children, that they may be surrounded by God's love and care, and that God would intervene in their lives as well. Pray that they may grow up knowing God's love and grace.
Lastly, be encouraged by the words of Isaiah 41:10 WEB, "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness." God is with you, and He will help and strengthen you in this difficult time. Trust in Him, and continue to bring your concerns and fears to Him in prayer.
We will be praying with you, trusting that God will bring healing and restoration to Bryan and his family.
