I have 2 beautiful kids age 14 & 15. I try so hard to stay involved in my kids lives. I know all their friends, know where they are constantly, make them do homework, get good grades (when I can)etc. Here lately, they both "hate me" and I am only trying to help and love them and do what's best for them. They hurt my feelings constantly and I am the only one there for them on a daily basis, even while at work. Please pray they finally understand that it is important for them to do their work and quit fighting me and just listen as I want to help them succeed and love them so much!

In jesus name I pray

AMEN!!

Christ the King,

I turn over Renae teenage children to You healing

Renew their minds and spirit and break the power of disobedience in their lives.

Mould them, purify and change their hearts from inside by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Bring them speedily to faith. Amen

Renae-

Fear not, teens go thru a period of time where they "know it all", or "know better than you". (They think). It will take time and patience to go thru this with them before they start realizing "your the best", for having stayed by them thru everything.

Yes, they hate you, but not really. They "think" they do, but really don't. They are confused with all new stuff coming at them they hadn't dealt with before, so they need some extra room for awhile to get used to that.

Physical and emotional changes are happening because of thier chemical imbalance right now as thier bodies change from a child to young adult operating. This don't happen overnite, but takes a few years for the body to change and adjust to the new way of growing and maturing, both physically and emotionally.

Lord-

We pray for patience and love to be strong in this mother, to hold out and keep loving and always being there when thier children need them. There will be trials and temptations faced by these young adults who will need thier mother to be there when need support. Help her to have the strength love and compassion to never faulter in being there for either one when needed. In Jesus Name- Amen!!

This is why you as a parent "don't know anything" from thier view, as they are experiencing the same as you and I had as teens, but in a different more advanced and changed environment. As has been said- "still the same, but yet not the same."

Dear sister in Christ, I hate to admit it, but I too was a teen that just 'knew everything' and my grandparents (especially my grandmother) couldn't tell me no different. I don't know why I went through those phases that I wanted to be by myself, didn't want to talk to anyone about what was going on with me -- even though the biggest thing was wanting the same guy I had a crush on like me as much too. I had good grade (for the most part as well) I didn't go without nothing, I attended catholic school ($$$$) What was there for me to be distant, depressed, moody, and back talk??? The only thing now as a parent I can sum it up in one word -- horomones. My body was going through changes, but not like others and then being a part of something. At that time I really didn't know why I behaved the way that I did. And would back talk my grandmother, but never my grandfather. And then now as I watched 2 step daughters do the same thing, I recongnize the signs. And helped 1 of the step daughters mother with 'saving' the child.Continue to pray for your children, be there for your children, but give them the growing space that they need, because if you are constantly on them asking them why they are likethis, the harder and more distance you are putting between you and your kids.

Father God, anoint this mother with wisdom, love, patience, understanding, communication with these teen agers. Wash over these teenagers that they shall come out of the cloud of darkness that they have entered, bring them out into the light of the world dear Lord. Anoint their tongues that they shall no longer spit venom at their mother, but only words of love. Touch their minds, that they shall realized that their behavior has pained their mother greatly dear Lord. Touch their hearts, that they shall understand the depth of what the venomous words have done to their mother's heart. Bring joy, peace, love, understanding, communication, respect to each other in this family dear Lord. This I lift up to YOU dear Lord, Amen,Amen,Amen.... Be bless.
