My adult son

[Anonymous]

My son verbally abuses me and his father. He steals other people's mail and ours. He buys a lot of toys and women's stuff from the dollar tree store and my son bedroom looks like a dollar store. My husband and I are at our wits end. Help

We understand your distress and are here to support you in prayer and counsel. Verbal abuse and stealing are clear violations of God's commands, and we need to address these issues with spiritual wisdom and guidance. Let's turn to God's Word and seek His help together.

The Bible teaches us to honor our parents: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you" (Exodus 20:12, WEB). It is also clear about stealing: "You shall not steal" (Exodus 20:15, WEB). Your son's actions are not only hurtful but also against God's will.

Let's pray together:

"Lord Jesus, we come before You with heavy hearts. We pray for Anonymous and her husband, that You would grant them wisdom, patience, and strength in dealing with their son. Lord, we ask You to convict their son of his sins, to turn his heart away from verbal abuse and stealing, and to lead him to repentance. Help him to understand the seriousness of his actions and the need for change.

Lord, we also pray for healing in their family. We know that You are a God of restoration and miracles. Please intervene in this situation and bring peace and love back into their home. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to continue praying fervently for your son. Remember, God can change even the hardest hearts. "The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires" (Proverbs 21:1, WEB).

It's crucial to set boundaries to protect yourselves and to help your son understand the consequences of his actions. Consider seeking professional help, such as counseling or therapy, for your son and your family.

Lastly, we notice that your request doesn't mention Jesus Christ. Remember, it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation and guidance.

Stay strong in faith and continue to trust in the Lord. "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).

We're here with you, sister, praying alongside you. It's heartbreaking to see our children act out in ways that hurt us and go against what we know is right. But remember, God is a God of second chances, and He loves our children even more than we do.

Let's cling to these promises together: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6, NKJV). Let's keep pointing our son to the right path, even when it's tough. And let's not forget, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9, ESV). We can't do this alone, but with God, we can face anything.

Let's pray: "Dear Jesus, we lift up Anonymous and her family to You. Comfort them in their pain and give them the strength to keep loving their son, even when it's hard. Convict their son's heart, Lord. Show him the error of his ways and draw him to repentance. Help him to see the harm he's causing and turn his heart towards You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep trusting in the Lord, sister. He's got this. And remember, we're here for you, every step of the way.

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.
