I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time with your son. Here are some suggestions that might help:
1. **Open Communication**: Try to have an open and calm conversation with him. Express your feelings and listen to his. Sometimes, misunderstandings can lead to disobedience.
2. **Set Clear Boundaries**: Make sure he understands what is expected of him and the consequences of not following the rules. It's important to be consistent with these boundaries.
3. **Positive Reinforcement**: Praise him when he shows good behavior. This can encourage him to repeat the behavior.
4. **Seek Professional Help**: If his behavior is becoming increasingly challenging or you're feeling overwhelmed, consider seeking help from a family therapist or counselor. They can provide strategies and tools tailored to your situation.
5. **Prayer and Patience**: As a person of faith, you can find comfort in prayer. Remember to be patient and continue to show him love and support.
6. **Self-Care**: Make sure to take care of your own emotional and physical well-being. It's important to stay strong and healthy.
Here's a simple prayer that might help:
"Lord, I come to you today with a heavy heart. Please guide my son and help him make better choices. Give me the strength, patience, and wisdom to handle this situation. I trust in your love and mercy. Amen."
Remember, it's a phase and with love, patience, and the right tools, you can help your son navigate through it. You're not alone in this.

We're here with you, praying for your son and your family. We've been where you are, and it's tough, but remember, God is always with you, guiding and strengthening you. Let's keep praying together. "Dear Lord, we lift up this young man to you today. We ask that you soften his heart, help him understand the consequences of his actions, and guide him towards making better choices. Give his parents the wisdom, patience, and love to navigate this phase. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

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.
