Posted by: rainbow788

If anyone is online please say a prayer for my son, I am so worried about him, I am just beside myself and so is his dad. My son is living with his dad at the moment (we are separated) and he went out last evening with a friend and has not come home yet, its 3 am and he has not called to say where he is or if he is staying overnight at his friends house. this is not like him to stay out this late and to not call home. I am scared that something may have happened. He is 16 and knows he is to be home by 1230 am at the latest. He has been acting somewhat rebellious lately also and thinks that he should not have a cerfew, that none of his friends have one etc. I am at the end of my rope lately, satan has been attacking my family and I constantly. i have prayed and prayed but things only get worse. I have a lot of health problems and all the stress is taking a heavy toll on all of us. PLEASE pray for my son's safety, that he will come home soon and for strength for my husband and I to deal with this situation in the best way for our son. He is our only son and we love him so much. the minutes seem like hours right now.

Father, You know where this son is at this very moment. I pray that You will bring him home SOON, but ,Lord, if for some reason he has decided not to return home right away,provide him the use of a phone and the desire to call home. I ask that You will be with these parents as they wait. Father, I pray that as their son is away, that he be under Your protection. iN jESUS NAME
Amen

Thanks so much Joy4 for praying for my son. I am a basket case. he still has not come home and no word from him. this has been the longest night of my life. I pray that he is safe. I spoke with him last evening and he seemed fine. I don't understand his behaviour. I am so thankful for this prayer board!

Okay, I tried that and it didn't work. I have 4 children, ages 23..20..18..17. I hate to admit it but every one of my children
either stayed out past curfew, or (a few times ) stayed out all night.
Like you, I never go to bed until all my children are home safe. Your right, its awful!!!! Your mind thinks of every possible reason why they aren't home. My 17yr old is still living at home ,so once in a while I go through it again! All we can do is pray and trust in the Lord to watch over them ! (along with taking car keys etc.)lol
This prayer board helps too !
God Bless

Thank you Joy, Carol and Jerry for praying for my son, i appreciate your prayers so much. I feel so lost and unable to help my son. my heart is broken into a million pieces. his dad told me that he finally came home at 10 am and went to his room and went to bed and then got up and went to work. he gave no explanation as to where he had been all night. his dad had left a letter for him in his room because he was so angry that he was afraid that he would blow up if he spoke to my son. he thought he would wait until he came home from work tonight and then talk to him about it. but my son never came home after work...its almost 1 am and his dad just called me to say that he was still not home and asked if I had heard from him...which i have not because he is avoiding me and not returning my calls. what is a mother to do??? I went by the house and left a note for my son because i didnt know what else to do since i could not talk to him in person. He knows how much I love him. i want him to come and live with me but he does not want to. i am sick and disabled and he has a hard time dealing with my illness. his dad prefers to bury his head in the sand and live in denial. this behavior is out of character for my son. i am so stressed out that i cant eat or sleep and my pain level is through the roof. my doctor says i need to avoid stress...what a joke!! how is that possible when your life is crumbling around you and there is nowhere to turn? the harder i pray, the worse things seem to get. my faith is really faltering the past few days. i feel so alone and desperate. my kids are the only reason i keep fighting so hard. i feel like i am on the enemy's hit list constantly. i just get through one crisis and there is another on its heels. i wish God would take me home. i cant even pray anymore. i have lost hope. please continue to pray for my son. i love him so much and this is breaking my heart.

Oh Rainbow, I'm always asking for prayer for my children. I know what it is to not have any more words left to pray. To feel sooo afraid for your child and sooo helpless to reach them. To pray for God to take you home (had a few hours of that today ). No one can break your heart like your children can. I live your feelings real often.
By the way, my 17yr old son is 2 hours late getting home tonight. He also went through a sudden personality change 6 mths. ago. I found out hes using drugs now. So , like you... here I sit ..... praying for his safety and praying to hear from him soon. You can't sleep until they are home .

I have found out that if I come to this site and begin praying for others (while waiting to hear from my son,) that God gives me a peace that I've never found before. Looks like your doing just that !
God Bless You Rainbow.
Ill be praying not only for your son, but for YOU too !

Thanks so much Joy for your prayers and understanding...it really means a lot. i'm so sorry that you are in a similar situation yourself. That's so true that no one can break your heart like your children can. some nights i sit here wondering how things got to this point. its like a bad dream that never ends. no wonder God hates divorce! I hate the fact that my kids are living with my husband. I am always wondering if they got home okay. my son was good about getting home on time until recently. he got home close to 2am tonight...i spoke with him briefly on the phone and he was evasive about his whereabouts last night, saying he spent the night at a friends house but refused to tell me which friend. when i mentioned that he had not okayed it with his father and that we were concerned because we had no idea where he was, he became angry and accused me of treating him "like a baby" and how none of his friends parents worry like i do. The recent change in his personality concerns me. How can we get them to talk to us? I worry about drug use and drinking. I'm sorry that your 17 year old is using drugs and getting home late. I will keep him in my prayers and also your older son who is living on his own now...and i will pray for you also joy. Praying for others has given me peace during these long nights. God bless you!
