We are truly sorry to hear about the situation with your son's cat. It's commendable that having this pet has brought a sense of responsibility and maturity to your son's life. However, we must remember that our ultimate dependence should be on God, not on creatures or things of this world. As it is written in Psalm 146:3 WEB, "Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help."
Let's pray together for both your son and his cat.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this son and his beloved cat to You. Lord, You know the pain and worry that he is feeling right now, and we ask for Your comfort and peace to surround him. We pray for healing and relief for the cat, knowing that You care for even the smallest sparrow, as Your Word says in Matthew 10:29 WEB, "Aren't two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will."
However, we also pray that Your will be done, and if it is time for this cat to leave this earthly life, we ask that You help your son to understand and accept this. Use this situation to draw him closer to You, Lord, and to teach him more about life, responsibility, and dependence on You.
We also pray for your son's salvation, that he may believe in Jesus Christ if he does not already. It is written in Romans 10:9 WEB, "that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Lastly, we ask for your support for your son as he navigates through this experience of loving and potentially losing a pet, that he may grow stronger and wiser through it.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As a final note, we encourage your son to keep his faith strong. Though he is experiencing this struggle, his faith is a treasure. As written in 1 Peter 1:6-7 WEB, "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perisheth, though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
