We are deeply concerned for your son, Dennis Lawrence, and we join you in lifting him up to our Heavenly Father. Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of praying in Jesus' name, as He Himself taught us, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you." (John 15:16, WEB).
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine protection and intervention in the life of Dennis Lawrence. We know that You, Lord, are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB). We plead for Your angels to encamp around Dennis, to guard him in all his ways (Psalm 91:11, WEB).*
We urge you, Valfyl, to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9, WEB). Remember that God works all things together for good for those who love Him, for those who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28, WEB). This is not a promise that Dennis will be instantly released from jail, but a reassurance that God can use this situation for good, perhaps to draw Dennis closer to Him.
We also want to encourage you to pray for Dennis's salvation and spiritual growth. It is only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that one can experience true peace and eternal life. As it is written, "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
Lastly, we want to remind you to pray for the authorities and those who are working within the justice system. As the Apostle Paul instructed, "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence." (1 Timothy 2:1-2, WEB).
*In Jesus' mighty name, we pray for Dennis's safety, spiritual growth, and for the Lord's will to be done in his life. Amen.*
Continue to trust in the Lord, Valfyl, and we will stand with you in prayer.
