Prayer 4 my 4 teens

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: MiSHa

We are a blended family of 7.
We have 5 kids, all with unique prayer requests:

C (15) - experiencing emotional issues with a friend/crush; needing to know her way with Christ and if she really is to be a missionary or if it's just talk as she's not living a truly devoted life and has become pretty bossy, mouthy and material (though, thankfully well behind her peers in the areas of sex, cussing, etc!!!); born-again since age 6, but needs to show more maturity in Christ

P (15-in-September) - out of touch with common reality most of the time.. doesn't want to face life/issues/reality because it doesn't make him "feel" good; playing a dangerous game pretending to be all into His Bible and accepting Christ while knowingly feeding into games perpetuated by his biological "mother" and her husband who believe in "free-thinking"; possibly gave his heart to Christ once when very young, but needs to be sure of his salvation and live it for real.

B (14) - bipolar and odd (oppositianal defiance disorder); needs to allow God to completely heal his emotions and self-control from the inside out so he can not only progress through his group home program, but HEAL and be a productive member of society rather than possibly a juvenile hall or criminal statistic someday; committed to Christ about 4 yrs. ago but needs to reclaim God as His Father and live like it.

J (13) - not bipolar but goes from one extreme to the other according to whether or not he's getting his way: when he's getting away with stuff he's all happy and arrogant, when he's called on his behavior he's very mopey and withdrawn; needs to learn to be a Christian example instead of a wordly follower for acceptance; needs to be sure of who he is in Christ and why. Gave his heart to Christ about 3 yrs. ago, but is argumentative, not effective.

E (11) - socially behind in that she acts very ditsy and is too clingy; some of this is due to relational issues with her biological "mother" but is holding her back as an individual; needs to be sure of who she is in Christ and why.

Thank you for the prayers for each child. I have shared each snippet with the appropriate child. It is ALL in God's hands. We - including the children - need to remember that we don't have all the time in the world. As a popular modern song says, "you could be gone today." However, it is in the Lord that I place my trust. Alone, none of us are worthy!! AMEN

God bless...
MiSHa

Lord I pray that You guide these children along the right path and that they see You as their savior and salvation. Help them to become good Christian adults and that they overcome their difficulties. Please also guide their parents and give them the emotional and spiritual support they need to guide these children on their right path.
