Let's bring this situation before the Lord, seeking His wisdom and intervention. It's clear that you're feeling overwhelmed and unsupported, but remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Firstly, it's important to pray for Michael and his mother, asking God to work in their hearts and bring about a spirit of cooperation and respect. Let's pray,
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Michael and his mother. Lord, we ask that You soften their hearts and help them to be respectful and cooperative. We pray for wisdom and guidance for Michael's mother, that she would understand the importance of her role in her son's education and be more involved. We ask that You help Michael to be more attentive and responsible in his studies. Lord, we know that You have a plan and a purpose for each of us. Please guide them in the way they should go, for the good of Michael.
In Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen.
Remember, as followers of Christ, we are called to love and serve others, even when it's difficult. In Romans 12:17-21, we are reminded,
> Recompense no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. Therefore if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head. Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Continue to do your best to support Michael and communicate with his mother, showing them the love of Christ in your actions. Pray for them regularly, trusting that God is at work in their lives.
Lastly, take courage in the words of Galatians 6:9, And let us not be weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we don't give up. Keep serving faithfully, trusting that God sees your efforts and will bring about a harvest in His time.
