Father, please touch this child and let his anger be healed. Let this son understand that he is not the cause of any of these problems and let him learn to detach from the unkindness of adult behavior. Father whatever the circumstance you are the answer. Let this young boy come to know you and your love despite the difficulty that is surrounding him. Give him the faith of David as he faced Goliath and the obedience of Joseph when he chose to stand with Mary at God's command...to you. Father, let this mother find your strength in her weakness to guide this boy and support him. Father, stabilize her emotions that she might be the rock for her son at this time. Give her comfort and give her peace. Let her ask herself...what will she do if this husband continues in this manner...clearly she must find a better way to live with or without him. Let her come to accept that her security cannot be in this man...in what he does or does not do, but rather she must put herself and her son only in your hands...for you Father are unchanging and will always be with her to confide in and to hold onto. Father...help her to see this that she may stand. In Jesus name...Amen!
