Prayer needed

[Frani_54]

Hello all of my wonderful friends!

I've been really distracted with some issues with my son, rather not go into it fully here, but please be praying for a life change for him. To have the Lord send someone to him that could be a positive rule model and help him to see things a bit more clearly.

My husband and I also need your prayers right now. The information our son has finially admitted to has us hurt, angry, simply unable to deal with it.

We are trying to remember that the Lord wants us to love everyone and hate the sin, but we are both struggling with this issue...

You all have been so wonderful, so I know I can come to you and know you will pray and things will turn out okay...

Love
Fran

Dear Fran,
Sending prayers up for him and you and your Dh. Went through a terrible year my my eldest son- who is 17 and never thought he would graduate, called the police, put him in the hospital the week I had my c section with Ben (my surprise at 44). Anyway, God answered our prayers and he has turned it all around , went back to the local high school, plays sports, cut his hair, lost the ear gauges and got lots of awards for sports. Hang in there- it breaks your heart, but know that God has him in His hands and loves him more than you. big (((((((((((((((hugsssssss))))))))))) Lisa

Oh, honey, of course we will pray. I'm so sorry you are in this valley right now with your son. I will pray for him to be touched by the changing power of the Holy Spirit and for you and your husband to be touched by the comforting power of the Holy Spirit.

Hugs, dear one.

I will pray for peace for you and that your son comes through his tumult safely.

And {{{{{hugs}}}}} to you as well.

Best of luck to you. My prayers are with you.

There was a time when my son had done something terrible. I was sitting at my desk distraught and wondered how I could ever love such a person. As I sat there with my head in my hands an overwhelming sense of peace came over me along with the phrase "unconditional love" over and over.

It was the answer to get me through. By the way my son has grown up to be a fine young 23 year old man. And even when he does things that we don't like he knows he is always loved.

Oh sweet Fran, please know that you will be covered in loving prayer; that the Lord will give you and your husband grace, mercy and wisdom in how best to help your son AND that you will know His loving comfort in the midst of the trial. For your son I'm first of all praying a prayer of thanksgiving that he has parents who care and love him. I will be praying that your love and the loving hand of God will gently guide him out of the 'thickets' and back to the right path.

Many hugs and much love my friend.

Dearest Fran....please know that we will surround you with love and support here. I will pray specifically for someone to step into your son's life to help and I will pray that his heart will be open to receive that help. I will also pray that both you and your husband are comforted and upheld by the Holy Spirit during this time of struggle.
God doesn't promise that bad things won't happen to us...and in your message I can feel the anguish and pain that you are experiencing. But he does promise that he will be there to help us through it. Hold that promise close!

I've seen first hand what the power of prayer can accomplish....and I promise to help pray you through this crisis.

Fran, I have a little book on my desk where I record my prayer list. I will remember you every day and ask that God give you peace of heart, mind and soul, and that you feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit wrapped around you like a warm blanket. Prayers for your son will be that God deals with him in a way that will bring glory to His name, and a God-centered life for your son. The unconditional love can be very, very difficult, and sometimes I ponder what that means. I simply know that when a parent tells their child they love them, the child never forgets. We have to claim the promises, "In all thy ways acknowledge him and he WILL direct thy paths." We're here for you!

Fran,
I will also be in agreement with the prayers for you and your family. I will add your family to our prayer box. Be encouraged my sister... because of what you are going through now, you will soon be able to help (minister to) someone else in the same (or similar) situation go through. Remember that the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous avail much. And yes, God is faithful and does answer prayer. Keep loving...

[prodigal]

I can't imagine what you must be going through. You always want the best for your child and for them to follow what you've taught them and know is right. I can't help but think of this verse.. .train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. We might try to run from the Lord at times (I did a lot of that) but he has a plan and purpose for all of us. He hears our prayers and knows our every need. Hang in there, this too will work out for good. Praing for you and your son

[Amy Eileen]

Fran, all of these ladies have offered such wonderful words and prayers for you and your family. I join them in thinking of you and hoping that your son finds his path in life. With the support of so many caring people I know that you and your dh will have the strength to help guide your son. {{HUGS}}

[nancyr]

Fran - I am so sorry to hear of your anguish for your son's problems. I will be praying for you, your husband and your son to find that light at the end of the tunnel. God will be there for your family!

[sandilyn]

Oh Fran, so sorry you are going through this, I'll be praying for you and your family. ((((hugs))))

Oh Fran..............................

I'm so sorry! I, too , agree in prayer that God will do exceedingly abundantaly above all *we* ask or think -according to the power that works with us! (Eph 3:20) God is SO ABLE!! Fix your eyes on Jesus!

I can't imagine what YOU are going thru........but God does.....He's our Father and over and over we disappoint Him--but HE LOVES US--bc He sees what He is creating in us!

I'm so blessed to among ladies like these who would just as readily run to pray for a fellow friend as to comment on a LO!!!

Thank you for trusting us in this!!!

GROUP HUG!
