Pray DJ · Jan 20, 2017

I've reached a painful realization today. My son is estranged. I have prayed and prayed and cried and cried for him. Despite all that my husband and I try to do for him, he rejects our love (but is quick to ask for our financial help). He is an adult. He's had some unfortunate life situations but he has a family that loves him, the best education that our money could buy, but he seeems determined to ruin his life. He's an adult. I'm tired. I love him with all my heart. He calls me names and cusses me out. He has never been diagnosed with mental illness, but I wonder if he has some. He lives in another town but has ruined his credit. We can't help him anymore. So sad to just have to step back and watch him hit rock bottom. I feel like that's our only choice. We're ready to love him, but exhausted trying to help someone who is not interested in being helped, until he needs money. Prayers appreciated.

Stay strong in prayer through Jesus' name. Lord, together we pray and grow stronger.

Lord dwell with this lost sheep.

Send your holyspirit and open a feeling communication between this family.

Calm the flames of desire, and anger.

Replace this with motivation for opportunity, without self indignation.

Let your light shine through this dark, incoherent atmosphere.

Producing the fruit of your spirit unto everlasting.

Amen

May God bless and heal you and your husband. May your son see the light.

I've prayed in Jesus' holy name...prayer changes things!

Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. {NIV, Matthew 18: 19-20}

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
