Disciple of Prayer
I am asking for prayer for my 28 yr old son who is a born again believer and is desperatly in need of God's help. My son was injured on his job just before covid and is unable to do ma ufaturing work anymore. He is still having problems with his shoulder and depressed due to having a hard time finding a job with no other experience than manufacturing. He has also been concerned about getting covid because he has a heart condition. He has gained like 40lbs and Is having severe anxiety so bad that he shakes. He is not responding to texts or phone messages from me or my parents. We have not seen or heard from him in almost three months (& we have always been a close family). He has been out of work for about a year and a half (he has always been a hard worker). His wife said he does not want to go far from the house now and she said he has had high blood pressure. They have no health insurance so he has not gone to the dr. I told his wife I would pay for dr if he would go but I get no response. I am extremely concerned for his physical/mental health and wellbeing. He and his wife are living with his wife's grandmother, her 2 younger siblings (like 18 and 20 yr old) and her mother and step father who are not born again believers and they are very closed off people and they do not work. (Exmple: never even met them until my son's wedding because we were told they were not people people). I am also concerned because my son has a heart condition he was diagnosed with around the age of 12 (born with one less valve and has one leaky heart valve)... and he started vaping). With my son not being around other believers, gaining weight, other health issues, severe anxiety, and closing himself off from society he is going down hill fast and I am afraid I am going to lose him. He has never had anxiety like this (his wife says he gets anxiety attacks easily). I really believe the anxiety is coming from being out of so long, covid-19, and his environment. I am scared for his spiritual health. I am so scared for him and feel so out of control and more so since I can't see him or talk to him which is really hard for a mom (he is my only child). Me and my mom drove over to see him and his wife's family has never let us in their home and do not talk to us...my son and wife always met me at my car whenever I came over (I would have to call or text my son or his wife ahead of time so they could meet me at my car)...his wife's family is very strange. Now only my son's wife comes outside if i come over. My son no longer has his voice on his voicemail (now automated), is no longer on facebook does not talk to his friends/family. He is shutting himself off from society and it is making his anxiety worse but he does not see that or at least I am assuming since he is secluding himself. His wife said he gets anxiety talking on the phone and doesn't like talking on the phone (this has never been a problem for him in the past). My son had always been a happy social person and used to talk to me and my parents all the time and it is like he fell off the face of the earth and it scares me he is in an environment where he is shut up in a bedroom all by himself day...day In and day out with no socializion and in a non Christian atmosphere (his wife works full time so he is alone in their bedroom 24/7) . He has no Christians around him to support or encourage him....he needs help. I try to call him at least every other day with no answer. I texted him as well just to ask him to please call me. I also text him just to tell him I love him and God loves him and tell him I am here for him if he needs anything... I get absolutely no response. I feel so helpless because i don't really know what else to do to help him and I don't know how he is doing since i can't see him or hear his voice. God is the only one that can get my son out of the rut he is in and get him out of that house/environment. Please pray for my son Skyler because I know without God he is going to go further downhill. This is all giving me anxiety (waking up at like 4am wondering if he is ok because I can't see him or hear his voice). He is in a bad environment with non believers and people that don't talk to other people and they are not very nice (my son's wife is the only social one). PLEASE PRAY FOR SKYLER! (His spiritual, mental, and physical health. And to get him into a better more healthy environment! For God to help him get a job and start getting out of that house and around people/born again believers again and for him to talk to his family who love him and miss him. Thank you! And God bless you!
