my son is 17, he has always been a very good,kind loving child, but here as of lately he has been backtalking, being disrespectful, and just rebeling...
i know his heart and i know he is in deed a good boy. please please pray for his salvation, i know alot of this is his need for independance from his parents, and him growing into a man, but it breaks my heart to see him like this.
i love him so much and i get so aggravated at times, please grant me strength and patience as i know this shall pass..
i just want him to be good, to be happy and to be productive with his life.
thank you my friends..
be blessed in the new year....

Oh Dear Father in Heaven, I ask that You would pour out Your spirit upon this young man at this vulnerable time in his life. Bless his parents to know the things they should say and do to guide him through these years. Touch the heart and life of this boy that he will come to truly know You and lose every desire towards those things that cannot bring eternal happiness. Raise up good friends who will be an example to him. Give him desires to do what is right. In Jesus Name I ask Amen.

Ahhhhh....right behind the Terrible Two's is the Terrible Teens!
I pray that God gives you strength as your son stretches his wings and your patience. They only know everything for a short while and then you will be "right about everything" again. Hang tough. This, too, shall pass.

Father, I bind the evil that has seemed to taken over this teen's live and cast it into the pits of hell. May he be washed with the blood of Jesus and may he be refreshed thru Jesus' love for him. Sen an angel to him Father to guide him and to lead him back to the path of Rightousness.

Also Almighty Father, grant his parents the strength to love their teen thru all his problems and to be his guide and friend with the problems he is trying to work out.

I ask this in the name of Jesus

Amen

Lord, I pray for this kid. Open his eyes so that he could see how much he is loved. Be with his parents, give them patience and understanding. Help them get through this.
Amen

Lord, let wisdom flow.

Give her the words to comfort him and help him through this hard time of change in his life.

He's on the edge of the nest and it looks like a long way down. Help him see that he can fly.

Bless them and help them be a blessing to each other.

Amen.

Father, in Jesus' Name we ask You to deliver this teenager from evil and put a new life in him......Thank You, Lord. Amen.

Romans 8:10

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

As I read your post, it made me sigh with a familiarity. My fiance' and I are going thru this with "our" (it's his oldest) teenage daughter. SHE has such a compassion when she chooses to show it but is going thru so much. She has so much misdirected anger, that she constantly tells us she hates us.She talks back and disrespects her dad, yet he is not the one who abandoned her to live with someone else he met off the internet. Her dad is not the one who cared only about himself that he removed himself from the home and took what was most obviously important to him: things; leaving behind the most precious thing behind: 3 very beautiful souls. Just keep praying; you might also post a prayer under "prayer for teens"; You might read my posts under that forum and the praying for salvation of one you love. It may help give you insight; many have provided me with sound and helpful advice. Just keep loving your son and remind him that you love him but will not put up with receiving abusive behavior towards you, or anyone else in the household. Keep praying and loving; loving and praying, and always, ALWAYS: ask GOD for his wisdom and guidance in what to do or say to reach your child. I pray my words have helped and I will be praying for your son.

My Son Is My Love And My Life.. I Love Him Endlessly And I Know The Majority Of His Behavior Is Just Growing Pains And Trying To Grow Into His Own. It Is Very Hard As His Mother To Observe These Changes I Want My Lil Boy Back.lol
I Try To Remember How I Felt When I Was 17, The Freedom And Independance I Longed For.. I Just Want Him To Be The Man I Raised And I Know He Can Be...
The Lord Will Provide And Care For Our Needs..
Blessings..
Happy New Year
