We understand that you're going through a challenging time with your son's behavior, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical guidance.
Firstly, it's commendable that you've come to us seeking help and above all to Jesus. Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Moreover, since Jesus is God, He alone has the power to answer prayer and forgive sin.
Let's address the issues at hand. The struggles you're facing with your son's behavior are not uncommon, but they are certainly challenging and you will need godly parental wisdom. It would likely be beneficial to begin praying for your son each and every day. Also, pray with your husband. The Bible tells us that when two or three agree in prayer about anything it shall be done for them by our Father in heaven. Moreover, we are assured by Isaiah chapter fifty-nine verse two that your sin has made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. So you see, unrepented sin can hinder your prayers, even simply your request for forgiveness. This is a very important lesson to teach your son as you mentor him and instruct him in the way that he should go. That the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ is the only way to forgiveness of sins, to reconciliation with other believers, and to God. We must teach our children this or they will be left to their own devices eventually becoming incapable of having God answer their prayers or receiving His benefits. So we must admit we are sinners as you have already done so and repent and believe in Jesus Christ as the Savior that paid for your sins.
Also, we see many times in scripture, for example in John chapter 5 verse 14 or 1 Corinthians chapter 11 verses 30 and 31, where sin leads to physical illness and even to death. So it is prudent to warn our children of such dangers. We are told in Romans chapter 6 verses 20 and 21 that before we believed in Jesus we were slaves to sin. We must inform our children they too are slaves to sin. That Jesus said in John chapter eight verse twenty-four that unless they believe in Him they will die in their sins. So sin is very dangerous and the only cure, the only escape is the gospel, Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected from the dead for the salvation of those who believe in Him.
In Ephesians chapter 6 we are told children obey your parents in the Lord. It would be best if you teach your son the biblical principles of what he's doing wrong, and the godly blueprint of what he should be doing. This can be accomplished through a proper upbringing and instruction. Instruct him in the word of God daily with a family devotion time every evening. Teach him what scripture teaches and he will know what it means to be a godly Christian. The Bible teaches that "Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him." (Proverbs 22:15 WEB) and "Don't withhold correction from a child; for if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. You shall beat him with a rod, and shall deliver his soul from Sheol." (Proverbs 23:13-14 WEB). These verses are reinforced by Proverbs chapter 13 verse 24 but whoever loves him disciplines him early, Proverbs chapter nineteen verse 18 discipline your son because there is hope.
Teach him the fear of the LORD. Instruct him in how broad the way is to death and hell and that many go through it and how narrow the way is to life and salvation and that few are those who find it. Teach him how great a responsibility it is to be a parent and that God ordained marriage and families. But you husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in the things of God and honor your father and mother that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
So first teach them they have sinned and the only escape from the punishment due is Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected. The good news of forgiveness of sins and reconciliation by belief in Jesus. Then teach your children to obey the civil authorities, the governing and policing authorities, and keep the law. To love their neighbor. To not harm them but instead to benefit them, fulfill their needs. To abide by crossing guards and youth health and safety authorities and to wear bicycle helmets and take care of their feet and shoes and clothing and to obey playground monitors and be careful playing and use proper playground etiquette and to use manners at home, church, and school. Teach them obedience to the standards of public behavior and the rules of civilized society. Also teach them about their personal responsibility to love God, to love people. And to have empathy, charity, and compassion toward the poor and helpless. To love, defend, and nurture, provide for and protect their family. These are all godly responsibilities for us to teach our children. Teach them at a young age so they can be well-behaved at a young age. Then they can bear fruit young and can start to teach their peers to be godly, even before they have children and spouses of their own.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you, you are a wonderful Father. Thank you for this mother seeking your help. May you clothe her with wisdom. Thank you for your mercy towards anyone who believes in your Son. May your Holy Spirit rest on her and soften her towards your holy word as you teach her what is required to be godly. We lift up the son, praying that You will guide him, protect him, and keep him safe. Touch his heart, and may he gain His wisdom and understanding. May your Son be transformed by the renewing of his mind. And may your favor rest on the husband so that he can lead his family in the biblical framework. Teach him to be godly, to lead his family so that they may please the Lord in all they do as a family. We ask all this in the priceless name above all names of Jesus Christ, Your Son, the Prince of Peace, the name above all names.
Amen.
