Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Your child’s 16-year-old in prayer. They are going through a very hard and difficult time and are struggling with feelings of hatefulness. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention to bring healing, peace, and understanding to their heart and mind.
Your Word in Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." We pray that the teachings and values instilled in them will guide them back to a path of love and righteousness.
In the name of Jesus, we pray for a transformation in their heart. Ezekiel 36:26 says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Lord, soften their heart and fill it with Your love, compassion, and understanding.
We also pray for strength and wisdom for their parent, who is seeking Your help. James 1:5 assures us, "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." Grant them the wisdom to navigate this challenging situation with grace and patience.
Lord, we ask that You surround this family with Your peace. Philippians 4:7 reminds us, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." May Your peace guard their hearts and minds, bringing calm and resolution to their home.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the healing and restoration You are bringing to this family.
In Jesus' holy name, we pray. Amen.
