Please pray for my Mother, ELLIE SCOTT. I am very concerned for her soul.
She does not attend Church and seems to be distant from God. Says that she prays, but I see no fruit of peace from God. The older that she gets, the more difficult she seems to deal with. She has alot of bitterness and anger in her. She got saved and wonderfully sanctified as a young girl and still speaks of that experience. She said that her Father doubted her experience in the Lord and hurt her very badly. After about 70 years, it still bothers her..She has had an unusual hard life. She needs a healing in her heart of all the hurt that she has been through. Please help me keep her at heart, that she will come to know the Lord in a great way. I want to see her blessed and to know that she is on her way to Heaven..Eighty one years old---I am concerned for her soul...Thank you, Her Son, Stephen

Know that even God's children, tho indwelled by the Holy Spirit, can hold anger, hurt and more. Yes, this quenches and or grieves the Holy Spirit. But, it can happen. Might I suggest a need for a very good God grounded Pastor to speak with her and allow God to heal that hurt and remove the anger thru good solid Christian Counciling this way, or thru a true Christian psychologist who understands spiritual warefare.

Lord-

We pray that Ellie would recieve your healing touch of this hurt and anger, that you could bring her around to understanding the need for her to sincerely return to you for such healing as how you so choose. Bring this woman peace, calm, love, compassion and an end to the strife and bitterness she's held to for so long. Bring "release" of this bondage of darkness from her. In Jesus Name- Amen!!

Dear Stephen,

I haven't logged on to the site in a long time, but I read your request this morning, and Ellie has been on my heart all day long.
People in and out of my house, company from out of state, and other happenings could not take her out of my mind.
I sat in a happy, noisy restaurant at dinner and thought of your mother.

Stephen, my dear mother, who is at home with Jesus now, used to say that as people age they boil down into the essence of who they are. Ellie has become a concentrated form of herself. Her frustrations and sorrows and hurts come to the front, for all to see. Things she held in her secret heart surface and won't go away.

I think this may be God's way of gently pressing them to deal with these things before they go home forever.

One phrase helped my Mom. I don't know if it might help Ellie. It was,

"Mom, I am so sorry that happened. That must have been so hard for you."

It really seemed to comfort my Mom that I cared about her pain and suffering.

Remember that Jesus' mercy and grace are deep and wide.

God be with you Stephen.
Thank you for caring and being so sensitive to your Mom.
It is a beautiful thing in a son.

Thank you, Lord, for your precious love for us...
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Thank you for praying that beautiful prayer for my Mother. I am singing a special in Church this Sunday, pray that she will be able to attend. I am going to ask her to come. She has a bad back, but I wont her to go.
Yes, the Pastor she knows quite well. He has visted her once and plans to go back. She loves him. He used to run a place of business in town. She thinks alot of him.

God bless, Stephen

Dear Stephen,
I am so sorry your mom is struggling with bitterness and lack of peace in her life. while reading your post, my thoughts turned to my own mother and mother in law who are the same age as your mom and are dealing with some of the same problems your mom is. They have both had difficult lives too and as they have gotten older they seem to have problems related to bitterness and unforgiveness in some areas which robs them of peace and joy. my mom was raised in the church and was saved as a young girl but over the years she experiened many painful losses early on in her life which affected her greatly and caused her to become depressed and discouraged for many years. she has attended church on and off over the years and has changed churches many times. she worries a lot and lacks peace in her life. my mother in law was not raised in church and suffered much abuse during childhood years. she was married twice and both marriages were unhappy marriages, both husbands alcoholics and abusive. her first husband (my husbands father) abandoned his family for another woman whom he eventually married. my MIL has struggled with feelings of abandonment and bitterness over this for many years and i've seen the effect its had on her. she has had a very hard life and it shows. she has attended church on and off over the years but has not been to church in a long time. we have invited her to attend with us in recent years but she has declined except for one Christmas eve she did join us and that was wonderful. it saddens me that both these dear ladies whom i love have had so much pain and disappointment in their lives. it has caused them to put up walls and not allow others in for fear of being hurt and they refuse to seek help. i pray for them daily and will continue to invite them to church when i am able to go. my husband and i both have a lot of health problems so we are not able to attend church as often now, and our mothers both suffer from a painful condition called polymyalgia rheumatica which limits their mobility. its wonderful that you have invited your mom to church and are sensitive to her feelings and needs. you sound like a very loving son and i'm sure it means so much to her. God bless you, I will keep your mom in my prayers.

Father God,

I lift up Ellie to you in prayer.

Heal the wounds she has suffered in life. Give her the grace to forget the past and forgive all those who hurt her.

Bring her speedily to your saving knowledge. In the Name of Jesus Christ, amen
