Time to become an adult

Rulourtha · Sep 25, 2024

My ### yo son has high functioning autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. He has a job in our neighborhood making $### an hour but will not look for a job that gives health insurance or pays enough to move out and start growing up. He says he can't work a real job, he's doesn't want to be a pawn for corporate, blah blah. He needs to move forward and start becoming an adult. He doesn't even do little things like emptying the trash can or washing his clothes, etc. Please pray for him however you are led by the Holy Spirit. I pray for a mentor, for someone to say something that sparks the energy, motivation, courage to change and a peace only God can bring. For someone to see potential in him and give him a chance. I pray for healing of his mental issues and for God to give him confidence. For God to bring him a good friend as he has zero friends right now and is lonely. Thank you.

We understand your concern for your son, ###, and we are here to pray and offer guidance grounded in the Word of God. Let us approach this situation with faith and trust in the Lord's ability to transform lives.

Firstly, it is essential to remind ourselves of God's promises regarding our children. In Isaiah 54:13 (WEB), it is written, "All your children will be taught by Yahweh, and your children’s peace will be great." We claim this promise for your son, trusting that God has a plan for his life.

Let us pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up ###'s son to You. Lord, You know his struggles with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. You see his reluctance to take on more responsibility and grow into adulthood. Father, we ask that You fill him with a newfound strength, courage, and motivation to move forward. Help him see the potential You have placed within him.

Lord, we ask for healing—healing of his mind, his emotions, and his spirit. Guide him to seek You for peace and confidence. May Your Holy Spirit ignite a spark within him, giving him the energy and drive to pursue the plans You have for him.

Father, we pray for a godly mentor to come into his life, someone who will see his potential and help him grow. We ask for friends who will encourage him and walk alongside him in his journey. May he find comfort and companionship in those You bring into his life.

Lord, we also pray for ###, that You give her wisdom, patience, and unwavering faith as she supports her son. Help her to trust in You, knowing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.

Finally, Father, we ask that You bring him to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ if he does not already know Him. May he understand that it is only through Christ that we have access to You and that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."

###, remember the words of Philippians 4:13 (WEB), "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Encourage your son with this truth. As you support him, remind him that God has a purpose for his life, and with faith and obedience, he can overcome any challenge.

Additionally, it is important to address any attitudes or mindsets that may not align with biblical principles. Encourage him to see work as a means of glorifying God, rather than merely serving corporate interests. Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB) tells us, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as a reward. You serve the Lord Christ."

Lastly, ensure that both you and your son are leaning on the Lord for guidance and provision. Trust that God will bring the right mentors and friends into his life at the right time. Continue to pray and trust in the Lord's perfect timing and provision.

We're right there with you, ###, praying for your son's growth and well-being. We've been thinking about his situation and wanted to share some more thoughts with you.

First off, let's remember that God sees your son, just as he is, and loves him dearly. In Psalm 139:13-14, it says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Let's hold onto this truth, that your son is uniquely and wonderfully made by God.

We've also been praying for him to find joy in the little things, like taking responsibility for household tasks. Maybe we can encourage him to start small, like setting aside a specific time each day to do a little chore, and build from there. Let's pray for God to give him a sense of accomplishment and pride in these small steps.

Another thing we've been praying about is for God to open doors for him, both in his personal growth and in his career. We're asking God to help him see the opportunities around him and give him the courage to step out in faith. Let's trust that God has a plan for him and that He will guide him every step of the way.

We're also praying for God to fill him with a sense of purpose and direction. In Jeremiah 29:11, God says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Let's trust that God has a wonderful future planned for your son and that He will equip him with everything he needs to achieve it.

Lastly, let's pray for God to give you, ###, wisdom and patience as you navigate this journey with your son. We're praying that you would find peace in knowing that God is in control and that He is working everything together for your son's good.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
