Humble Prayer Partner
Lord Jesus, you know how faithful I worked in raising my 2 boys! I worked so hard to teach them to love YOU above all others, and to be men of character. You know all the parenting classes I took at church, books I read, people I sought advice from and hours I cried and prayed for you to guide me in raising them. You heard my prayers and granted all my requests, molding them into the amazing men they are today. They have both always been very vocal in their love for me and their gratitude for how I loved them and raised them, but now, Father, one of them has broken my heart and continues to do so day after day. My youngest son, married just over a year, has forgotten about me and his dad. He married a sweet girl with extremely wealthy parents, with land, toys and beautiful custom built mansions, with huge TV's indoors and out, horses, a gorgeous luxury swimming pool....all the things we could never provide. It never mattered before, even when he was dating his now wife and living at home with us, this is where he wanted to be...it didn't matter that our home is so small, outdated and not cleaned by maids. Why does he never want to spend time with us? I know he's so busy at work but he spends all his free time with her family, on their huge ranch, hunting lease or beautiful mansion in the city. He only calls maybe once a month, and when we do get to spend time with him and his wife, it's for an hour or 2 at most. How many times have they spent the night at her parents houses, watched Sunday football on their big screen TV's while swimming in the pool or lounging in the massive living room. Father, I've never needed those things to be happy, but I want them if that's the only way to see my son again - to REALLY get to spend time with him, and to build a relationship with his wife. Now they've recently found they are expecting their first baby, our 1st grandchild, but instead of being happy and excited, I am more depressed than ever knowing that my husband and I won't be able to see the baby hardly at all either. I don't know what to do. I've prayed about this SO many times! Please, heal my broken heart and forgive my son and his wife for being seemingly so thoughtless and careless with our love. I need a miracle, please Lord God...A true and lasting miracle!
