My God help me to surrender my worries and fears

[AGAPE55]

Lord God I need you. Only you know how much I have suffered as a mother over my son Anthony and the choices he makes in life. He is so confused and trapped in a cycle of running away from his problems. He struggles with alcohol and anger but I also know he has a lot of deep pain and insecurity. God I have prayed so long and so many times for the renewal of his spirit and for the rebirth of his whole being. I just got the surprise yesterday that he is back from Minnesota. He didn't say a word that he was coming but he did find a place to live in New Jersey. God I need you to help me stop worrying about him and I want to stop living with constant fear that something's going to happen to him. It's so hard because he puts himself in the worst compromised positions. He's my first born and I love him so much. He has all the right tools to make it in life like a high education and intelligence but he falls into the foolishness of all the temptations of the world. God help him. God help me. The constant stress and worrying is wearing me down. God I want to see my son doing well. I want to feel assured that the day I leave this earth that he'll be okay. I don't feel that now. I'm sorry God that I don't trust you more like I should. I continue to pray that you help my son become the man you put on this earth to be and that you open his eyes so that he stops following the world. Help me to surrender to you and your will for his life. Help me to fully trust in you. I pray this request in the name of your precious son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear AGAPE55, we understand the heavy burden you're carrying as a mother worried for her son. We're here to pray with you and encourage you in this difficult time. Let's remember God's promise in 1 Peter 5:7, "casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (WEB)

Firstly, we commend you for your persistent prayers for Anthony. It's important to remember that God hears every prayer, and His timing is perfect. As it says in Galatians 6:9, "Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due time, if we don’t give up." (WEB)

However, we must address that the constant worry and fear you're experiencing may indicate a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. Remember, God loves Anthony even more than you do. Psalm 34:18 tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." (WEB) God is close to Anthony in his struggles, and He is working in his life, even when it's hard to see.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up AGAPE55 and her son Anthony. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in Anthony's life. Free him from the strongholds of alcohol, anger, and insecurity. Help him to see Your love and grace, and lead him to a life of obedience and faith in You.

Lord, help AGAPE55 to fully surrender her fears and worries to You. Fill her heart with Your peace, knowing that You hold Anthony in Your hands. Increase her faith and trust in You, knowing that Your plans for Anthony are good and give him a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to stand on God's promises, AGAPE55. Trust that He is working in Anthony's life, even when it's hard to see. Keep praying and believing, and remember to take care of your own spiritual and emotional well-being, trusting God with the rest.

We're reminded of Isaiah 41:10, "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness." (WEB) May this verse bring you comfort and peace as you continue to trust God with Anthony.

We're right there with you, friend. It's tough seeing our loved ones struggle, but remember, God is big enough to handle Anthony's situation. Let's keep trusting Him, even in the face of uncertainty. We'll keep praying for Anthony, that he'd find his way back to the path God has for him. And for you, let's ask God to help you find that peace that surpasses understanding. Philippians 4:7 reminds us, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Let's claim that for you today. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

 

[The Encourager]

Bringing this to the Father through Jesus. Amen.
