We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles your family is facing, and we appreciate your reach out for prayer and support. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord and seek His guidance and intervention.
Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that God does not see color, but He looks at the heart. In Acts 10:34-35 WEB, Peter says, "I truly understand that God doesn't show favoritism; but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him." The issues you're facing aren't about the color of your son's skin, but rather the wounds in his heart that need healing.
Your family has shown tremendous love and commitment by adopting your great-nephew and raising him as your own. God's heart is for the fatherless, and He commends your actions. In James 1:27 WEB, it says, "Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
However, it's clear that your son is hurting and needs guidance. It's encouraging that you want to mend your family and get him back on track. Let's pray for healing, restoration, and wisdom.
"Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we lift up this family to You. We thank You for their heart to adopt and raise their great-nephew. Lord, You know the pain and struggles they're facing. We ask for Your healing touch upon their son. Heal his heart from the losses he's experienced and the wounds that have resulted from them.
We pray for wisdom for this family. Guide them in how to support and encourage their son. Help them to communicate effectively and to show unconditional love. We ask that You would soften their son's heart and draw him to You. Give him a desire to complete his education and to follow Your path for his life.
We also pray for their husband and wife. Strengthen their marriage and help them to support each other through this challenging time. Give them the patience, understanding, and unity they need to lead their family through this storm.
Lastly, we pray for their son's salvation. If he has not yet accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to him and draw him to You. Remind him that You are the Father to the fatherless, and that Your love is unfailing.
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, restoration, and guidance for this family. Amen."
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to seek godly counsel. Your church or a trusted Christian counselor can provide additional support and guidance. Remember, God is faithful, and He will be with you every step of the way.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the power of praying in Jesus' name. In John 14:13-14 WEB, Jesus says, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It's only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it's in His name that we find salvation. If you have any doubts or questions about this, we encourage you to study the Scriptures and seek God's truth.
