Father, please touch this man with your merciful touch and let him understand that you know his hurts and injuries intimately. Father help him to realize that while in the natural history predicts the future...you are a Supernatural God and can and will heal his heart if he allows it and will change his future to a more loving and positive one. Part of abandonment issues are that we cling to others so hard that we never allow ourselves to really open up to them, in fear that what they will see if we do, will send them away. We move to control in an effort to prevent loss and that control takes the form of manipulation which ultimately drives them away anyway. Father...help this man to learn that he can open himself fully to you without the risk of loss. Let him believe in his heart no matter what lays within it...you will will not abandon or leave him. Father, let him believe in his heart that he is lovable...he is not beyond your healing touch...and that with time as he learns to trust you fully with his life...he will become whole and be able to love others without fear driving him. Father, heal this man's heart and his spirit and show him that despite all that has happened in his past...you have both a future and a hope for him. Father...in your loving kindness...let him feel your love. In Jesus name...Amen!
