Kathy anne, My son did drugs, dropped out of highschool, took off for days, was angry beligerant and disrespectful. He got in trouble and landed in jail twice. I raised him as a christian. We were so close all his childhood. He grieved me deep into my soul. My heart was in continual pain and worry. I can tell you that I was there for him, always telling him I loved him, told him what was right and wrong but I pushed him out of the nest. He belonged first to God and to God I returned him. Now this is my only child who I raised alone. Letting him go and forsing him to be on his own was like cutting my arms off. My pillow was constantly wet with tears for him. He had to learn quick to be respondsible, to work and pay his own bills. He had to learn that the world won't receive his disrespect. His friends would only help him so much. He returned home eventually with a different attitude, and then when his old ways started slipping back in out he went immeadiatly. I never stopped loving him telling him why, what my standards were and telling him about Gods will, plan and love for him. Eventually he said that he needed to get away from the friends he had locally and went to stay with a family member 1000 miles away. I really cried then. He got his GED, raised his own money for college, and is paying 500 a month rent at our relatives home. He has a girlfriend who he led to Christ and reads the bible together with her. I never would have known. Its a joke but true that my hair turned gray very prematurely forsing me to discover clairol. We laugh about that together now. Right now you are not laughing but really hurting for this chiold of yours. Father, I pray for this family. We claim each member of this family for Christ. We break any generational curses. I claim this Son for You. I claim protection for him. Father stop him in his tracks. Let him fell the pain of all his actions and let that wake him up to you. Satan we come against you, all spirits of addiction, anger, deceit, drugs, sexual immorality, lying, and rejection we come against you. We claim protection over his siblings that he would not influence them. We come against all destructive forses to desroy this home. Father help this mother to trust you, to put him in your hands, and to maintain her standards of her home, even if it means putting him out. We know this prayer is answered. Help us to trust your timing. We know that this son will return with a testimony upon his lips. Until then Lord help Mom be strong!!!
