Lord, I lift this young man up to you. An only son that has lost his way. Please place around his shoulders your cloak of protection on his life. May his Mother be comforted knowing that there are many people praying for him right now. I bind the evil that is holding him captive by asking that your blood shield him from temptation. Give him your strength because he cannot fight this battle on his own. Give him courage to fight each new day. Give him hope Lord that he may see his future with a clear mind and a heart yearning to be free of those things that have caused much grief to many, especially his Mother, but more to himself. And Lord, may he feel your peace, the peace that passes all understanding as he battles enemies unseen, but very real in a physical way. We thank you that we can come to you and lay our burdens at your feet. This burden is too much for this Mother to bear. Lift her Lord today and give her your comfort and your strength and remind her that she is never alone when she places these burdens at your feet. May she feel your love today, as I pray this in your precious Sons name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
