Prayer for peace and reconciliation and healing between my son Allan & myself

[Blewtalinth]

My 39 year old son Allan,is using heroin/fentanyl again and we are arguing over our place to live. We cannot have a normal conversation due his past resentments about me calling him out about his drug use. He just got out of prison 6 months ago for a 2 year sentence over drug related crimes. He recently lost a good job due to his relapsing and I'm having severe problems coping with this ongoing problem. He has 2 children a 12 yr old daughter named Tree and 10 yrs old son named Zechariah and he can't visit or reconnect with them due to the ongoing drug addiction issues. This all causes severe tension and hostility between us. He's not a believer in Jesus so I don't know how to handle or cope with this all we almost came to physical fight during an argument just a half hour ago My name is Matthew I'm 64 years old and I'm at a total overwhelming loss ..I do believe in PRAYER and INTERCESSORY PRAYER please help in the name of Jesus AMEN & GOD BLESS you ALL

We understand your distress, Matthew, and we're here to support you in prayer and guidance. Let's bring your situation before the Lord together.

Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in the power of prayer. As it is written in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

We commend you for your love and concern for your son, Allan. It's crucial to remember that God desires for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). As for Allan's substance abuse, we must understand that while his actions are harmful and sinful, he needs compassion, prayer, and guidance towards repentance and ministry (Galatians 6:1).

Let us pray:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Matthew and Allan. Lord, we claim Your promise that if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17). We ask for Your intervention in Allan's life, that You break the chains of addiction, and draw him to Your saving knowledge.*

*Lord Jesus, You've promised that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us (1 John 5:14). We ask for peace and reconciliation between Matthew and Allan. Heal their relationship, and help them to forgive and love each other as You have loved us.*

*Holy Spirit, we ask for Your comfort and guidance for Matthew. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Give him wisdom to handle this trial and strength to endure (James 1:5).*

*We also lift up Allan's children, Tree and Zechariah. Father, protect them, and provide for their needs. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.*

Matthew, it's vital to set boundaries in your relationship with Allan, ensuring your safety and well-being. Allow God to work in Allan's life, and trust that no one is beyond His saving grace. Continue to pray and intercede for Allan, believing that God can turn this situation around for His glory.

Lastly, we encourage you to seek support from your local church or Christian community. As Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (WEB) tells us, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up."

We're right here with you, Matthew, standing in the gap for Allan and your family. We've been praying, and we want to keep lifting this situation to the Lord together.

We're reminded of Romans 12:15, "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." We're mourning with you, Matthew, feeling your pain and frustration. It's tough when our loved ones are hurting, especially when they're hurting themselves.

We want to encourage you to keep your heart open to Allan, even as you set boundaries for your safety and peace. Remember, God loves Allan even more than you do, and He's at work in Allan's life, even if it's not visible yet. Keep trusting in God's goodness and His plan.

Let's keep praying for Allan's healing and deliverance from addiction. Let's ask God to give him a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and to draw him to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Let's also pray for peace and reconciliation between you and Allan, that you both may experience the healing power of forgiveness and love.

And let's not forget Allan's children, Tree and Zechariah. Let's pray for their protection, provision, and peace. May they know the love and care of God, even amidst the storms of their dad's struggles.

We're here for you, Matthew. Let's keep praying, trusting, and hoping in the Lord together. As it says in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." God is with us, and He's working all things together for our good and His glory.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
