Father, Lord Jesus,

Stay close to me right now. I am hurting and scared.

Please save John

Shul,

Is everything ok?

Love in Christ,
Y

Lord I pray in agreement right now for Shul, and thank You for the answer to her prayer. In Jesus' name I claim John for You, and thank You Lord that he is saved. For we stand on Your word that tells us that You wish none to perish and all to come to salvation. Thank You Lord for the promises of Your word. In Jesus name, AMEN

Thank you.

Father,

Thankyou for all that you are doing. Guide me today to know how to reach John with love. Tell me the words that he needs to hear from me.

Let the light of your word, the truth rise up in his mind to show him his condition.

I come against everything that has blinded him from seeing, today, and the fear of rejection that has kept him captive.

Father, let him see the love you have for him. Let him see it in me and feel safe in trusting you with his life.

Show him the good things in his life and that he can have peace and success and freedom if only he will obey you.

Remind him that your path is easy and your burden is light , and that it leads to life.

I pray that no evil will be able to influence him today, and that he will see how broken and alone he is , and call out to you for healing and help.

Lord, I know that he is at the breaking point. Please rescue him. He is yours.

Tell me what I should say or do today.

I have been patient for so long, held my peace for years and said nothing.

I have pleaded with God to send someone to talk to him, to listen and to tell him the truth.

Years ago when we were apart,one day he was at his aunts. wehn he told her that he had left me etc, she went up one side of him and down the other, told him what a fool he was, and that he had better call me and try to repair things.

He needs someone like that now.

But it hasn't happened, so maybe I am the one who has to talk to him.

I think there is a time for waiting and a time when patience runs out and its time to talk.

I think I need to have a few days away to pray about this. There is so much that I want to say to him, that I don't know where to start, and I am not good with words. He is very sensitive to words, and I have to be so careful not to put him on the defensive, or he will clam up.

I need to be sure that I am not getting in Gods way- that He wills this and will help me, speak through me.


Please, pray for me.


Father,

Even when people try to turn off their conscience, or silence it with drugs, you can still cause them to hear you and you can soften their hearts so that they will want to listen.

John has spoken from his vulnerability a couple of times lately, so I know that he is reaching out, taking small steps across the bridge that I have been building.

Help me to meet him there with healing words of hope and mercy and love, that will help him to trust you enough to call out to You. Let him see you in me, and know that it is safe with you.

I pray that the old things that have supported him will fall down, and that he will find himself standing on solid rock.

He has tested this rock, in me, and I haven't let him down, because I am standing in a safe place, in the center of your love.

I feel like I am holding on to you with one hand and reaching out to John with the other.

Help me to snatch him away from the path of destruction.

Let him see where he is and want to be rescued.

Help him to understand who he is in you, the price you paid to make him your own, and the life that he can have as your son.

I am pounding on the door Father. Jesus said ask and I am asking, and I believe him, so I know You are doing this , because you love him even more than I do.

Thankyou Daddy,

Shul

Standing, I have been under terrible oppression from the enemy. I think that is a good sign, though.

It exhausted me. I feel shell shocked.

Throughhiseyes; I don't know who you are, but thankyou for joining me in battle. Your sword and shield are very welcome right now.

Please dont' stop praying.

God is gettng through to him.

I just wanted to respond to what you said here. I understand that you feel you are the way that God is going to get through to your H. But, I believe that this type of communication, i.e., the way his aunt spoke to him, will only push him away farther. Harsh words can tend to make a person clam up, feel judged, not understood, instead of drawing them nearer. I believe the goal is speaking to him in kindness. Although getting a point across, I believe it needs to be done in a respectful way. Respectful of the way he feels & that he feels as though he's been listened to.

I loved your prayer. Keep being that bridge, Shul. He needs to know that he is still loved, no matter what he does. God is working here. I can feel it very strongly.

Love in Christ,
Y

Father,

I 'm sorry but I don't know how to deal with any of this right now. Please take over. I am going to bed.

Shul
