Humble Prayer Partner
Hi, I havent been here for some time, yet I am thankful that through the emails received, via this website I havent been forgotten. God knows what has been happening, so I know he understands. Apart from other situations going on, I would really like to request prayers from yourselves for my only son. He spends a lot of his time on line, speaking to various people, but he has formed a relationship with a woman which has been ongoing for some 2/3 years - she resides in America. She has 3 young children under 12. My son is only 25 years old, but believes that she may be the one. He will be shortly travelling to America in October to be with her. He tells me he will stay for some 90 days to see how they get on and on his return to the UK he will make a decision whether to be with her permantly and take the necessary channels to do this. My concern is that my son knows noone, he spends all his time within the home. We have had our issues, but it is clear that something had to give eventually and this is it. My concern is that the woman is financially securing everything which I am not happy about. My son doesnt work, I work, so he depends on me for most things so I thought. As a mother, I have prayed about this and there have been days I havent the energy. I have asked God if this is his Will, so be it, but to place a edge of protection around my boy. I have voiced my concern to my son, but it is clear though he is nervous and this is clearly showing through his body, as he struggles to eat some days - this he is determined to do. He tells me he had his concerns about how I would react, when he had to tell me, and all I could do when he did, was break down. He is an adult and yes he has to find his way in this world, but as a mother I have my worries. I really ask for your prayers for my boy please. I dont know what he is walking into. He has no experience of much and has had problems going out, he reads books to build his confidence and has made headway in this, so credit to him. What my son has told me, is that as his mother, I have done well in bringing him up right, and these values has taught him to be cautious and think with his head rather than his heart, and this he has done in relation to this woman. My son has only ever had one other relationship, and this was also an online one, but in the UK and this ended badly as the person in question didnt give the full facts of who she really was and where she lived. Though they met and I met her, as she travelled from her part of the UK to meet him 2/3 times. This only came to light when he travelled to see her as a surprise and she wasnt where she said she was. Too cut a long story short, this almost broke him as he was in a strange place where he knew no one and wasnt able to come home for some 3 days - the panic attacks kicked in resulting in myself having to talk to him continually over the phone for 3 days and night to calm him until he was able to come home. I never really got involved - I just watched from the background and prayed that Gods Will be done and this is what I am doing again, but I need help as I am going through my own inner issues. Please pray that if this has to happen that God will pave his way and just send his Angels ahead of him as if anything should happen, he cant just jump on a train this time. I thank you all in advance for your prayers.
