We are deeply saddened to hear about the strain in your relationship with your son Alex and the distance that has grown between you. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's intervention and restoration in this situation.
Firstly, we remind you of the power of prayer and the importance of persisting in it, as stated in Luke 18:1, "He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up." Your unceasing prayers for Alex and his family are not going unheard.
We also want to encourage you with the promises of God concerning families. In Malachi 4:6, God promises, "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers." We believe that God can soften hearts and reunite families, even in the most challenging circumstances.
However, we must also remember that our ultimate trust should be in God, not in man. It is disheartening to see the influence Alex's in-laws and wife have over his decisions, but we pray that his heart would be turned towards God above all else. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Let us pray together:
"Father God, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Alex and his family to you. We ask that you would soften his heart, Lord, and turn it towards you. We pray that you would break any ungodly influences in his life and give him wisdom and discernment in his decisions. We ask for reconciliation and restoration in his relationship with his mother and siblings. Please keep Alex and his family safe, Lord, and draw them closer to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to gently remind you, if you haven't already, to include the name of Jesus Christ in your prayers. It is by His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
May God comfort you and give you peace in this trying time. Keep trusting and believing in the power of prayer and the promises of God.
