I am a divorced Mom of two daughters, 19 and 21 who live together in the Arts District of a large city. They have stopped attending the church near them they chose to attend and have become conformed to the world. Though it breaks my heart to see what they are missing out on in the Lord, I do believe He will use it all for their good and His glory.
Please pray that the eyes of hearts will be enlightened. That God will reveal Himself to them. That His loving kindness will lead them to repentance. That they will ‘come again to their own border’. That they will call upon Him in the day of trouble and He will deliver them and He will be glorified.  Amen.

• Parents Name: C

Please pray for R

Our son broke the relationship with us nearly two years ago. He and his Godfather decided they had a better relationship and drew up a legal document to declare themselves ‘Father and son’ – a double heartbreak as a friend for 27 years and has betrayed the trust we placed in him when we made him Godparent. Our son has since changed his name completely. The two are ostensibly ‘Christians’ and have started their own ministry, but it has all the hallmarks of a cult. R is now a complete stranger – he’s not the same wonderful, charming, loving and funny son we used to have. Please pray he’ll come home. We love him and we miss him so much.

• Parents Name: J

Please pray for A

My daughter knows the Lord; she was dedicated from the womb to Him. She was brought up in the church, wanted to get baptized after she publically made Jesus her Savior and Lord–she was eleven. As a young teenager, she defended the Word of God many times in public school, stood up for her beliefs among her peers, and even evangelized to them. She helped out with the children’s ministry at church, and joined my husband and I on the worship team, which made me so happy! She was part of the Bible Club at her high school, and even became president of it as a Senior. She was engaged to be married (although at a young age) to a wonderful young man one year older than her, who was studying to be a pastor. All that changed as of last February 2010. She met a young man at college who was became both her and her fiancé’s friend, and started to hang out until all hours with him. She left her fiancé in May, and “officially” started “dating” and moved in with this guy in August. Since all this happened, she’s smoking, has drank (only admitted to it once), left the church, and doesn’t speak too much to me anymore. She has lied left and right about things, and I am at my wits end. It’s evident that the enemy is trying to steal, kill, and destroy her and our relationship. She knows better, and realizes that she is being tested, but yet has done nothing to improve her relationship with God or her parents. Please pray for her to return to the Lord.

Please pray for my son who is addicted to heroin and can’t seem to stop using. He has been in prison several times, released and started to use again. There is now a warrant for his arrest because he did not obey the rules of his probation. I believe he wants to stop using but it doesn’t seem to work out. I have prayed for years. Any prayer would be appreciated.

Please pray for K

As a 21 year old mother of two our daughter is choosing to “find happiness” without her fiancé. She is involved with partying friends that make horrible choices with both alcohol and sexual actions. I ask for prayer for her safety, God’s hand in guiding her and that throughout this she will come home so much wiser, repentant and most importantly full on in love with God and Jesus.

Please pray for V and T

I know God has His hand on their lives. I know the miracles God has done in my life…my faith is strong, my flesh is weak. I am an enabler and I believe I am getting in the way of God working in their lives. I can’t help myself. Somehow I am afraid of what my sons may have to go through to get to where they need to be! My prayer of course is for the boys to serve the Lord and trust in Him completely…but also for me to let go and let God!!!  Thank you Mom – Joanne

• Please pray for my daughter S. She has 1 yr left to finish her BS degree but was arrested due to DUI. She works in a bar (strip club) and is far, far away from her Father God. She has always been very strong willed and determined to “do it her way” although as a young child she loved God and was very gifted musically and wrote worship songs. Everything changed at age 14. Her father is alcoholic and we divorced in 1999 and this exacerbated her lifestyle. Please also pray for me – Thanks – Mom – J

After being influenced by a boyfriend, she has wandered from God & is confused. Would you please pray for L, her boyfriend and his family? Please also pray for our 17 year old daughter, Laura who needs to forgive those who have betrayed her trust, rejected her, or hurt her and allow the healing from God to enter her life. Thank you. Mom – S

She has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Please also pray for my son, J who is 19, and has allowed himself to become mixed up in a belief system that is contrary to God’s Word. He is hateful, surly and planning to leave at the end of the summer to return to his new-found friends. Please pray for the broken hearts of my husband and me, as we are not doing well under this burden, especially while trying to pastor. Thank you. Parents – T and C

• Please pray for my beloved son, Josh (age 19). Josh does not know the Lord as his own personal savior, and, in his attempts to fill the “emptiness” of his heart, has become self-indulgent, self-destructive, and depressed. Please pray that his heart would be softened and that he would become sensitive to God’s calling and will for his life. Mother – Janine

Pray for me his mother that the heartbreak I suffer from his desertion will lessen and become manageable.

• Please pray a miracle healing for A. my son who is 30 years old. He is addicted to prescription drugs. He came from a very strong Christian Faith and upbringing. Please pray for God to move this mountain from him and heal him – body, soul and spirit. He has been through drug rehab and a medical protocol, but to no avail. He needs Jesus. Thanks! Mom, Susan

• Please pray for my 26 year old son, N, who has never accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. His heart is proud and rebellious and he continues to make bad decisions. He is living with a woman twice his age who enables him to continue to live in debt and stay angry and resentful at why he owes people money. Pray that he would accept God’s grace and God would grant him repentance and he would know Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior.

• Please pray for my 21 yr old daughter, C, who is a Christian but has a romantic relationship with a non believer. Pray she would turn to the Lord instead of marrying someone who doesn’t know the Lord. Thank you! Mom, Cathy

• 17 year old “D”. Please pray that the Lord would faithfully and swiftly deliver her from the anger and rage, the drugs, the alcohol, the illicit partners, the ungodly lifestyle, the physical violence towards me and her sister, her rebellion and contempt of us.

We strongly believe in praising God for each miracle. We would love to add your miracle to our praise page if you E-Mail them to us. This is a wonderful way to give hope to parents who are going through a crisis that we have already been through – victoriously. We will use only your first name and state.

We raised two children in a Christian home.  A daughter and a son.  Both grew up in a grace-filled home that was not legalistic, good Christian schools, youth groups, teen retreats, Promise Keepers, Women of Faith Conferences, etc..  We ensured that our children had our time and attention as the ministry can be very draining.  We read books on parenting, listened to James Dobson and Bill Gothard, etc.., and thought we put all the ingredients into the cake so that it would turn out right.  Honestly, we did not have a perfect home but we really do earnestly strive to love GOD and be genuine followers of Jesus Christ.  Others have commented about our home and the peace that was there, and how it wasn’t just a “show”.

Well, the cake fell – with our son.  Our daughter gave us very little trouble – she is now 24, married with two children, and doing fine.  We do pray for her walk with the LORD to be closer than what it is, but all we can do is pray, be an example, and offer encouragement along the way.  She’s a good woman, good wife and mother, but her and her husband are in a season of life that is very demanding, and it appears to drain them spiritually at times.  We understand and simply encourage them.

But when our son turned age 13, he began a journey that took us into a 6 year nightmare.  He rebelled against everything we had taught him.  Someone in school introduced him to drugs and he “sampled” marijuana.  This was the gateway drug that led him into a deep life of drug use.  His favorite “high” became what is know on the street as “Skittles” — Robitussin capsules.  The kids call it “Dex” for short, because of one of the ingredients in the cough syrup that works to limit coughing.  Our son discovered from other teens that if you popped a handful of these and chased it with hard liquor, it would send you into orbit.

For 6 years, our son used “Dex”, marijuana, alcohol, and dabbled with harder drugs like “Meth” and “Ecstasy”.  Because of his behavior, he was expelled from a Christian school, and public school.  People left our church because of things he did.  He was fired from 4 jobs for stealing and served two jail sentences before he was 18 for theft and underage drinking.  He overdosed twice.  One time we found him overdosed and thought he was dead.  We had to call 911 and have his stomach pumped.  The second time he overdosed he was living 10 hours away and a friend found him.  His friend took him to the hospital and we left our house immediately at 3am to drive the ten hours to be with him.  Also, he chose to be homeless on 3 occasions and lived in two Rescue Missions.

During this 6 year nightmare, my wife and I were numb.  It was as if someone had ripped our hearts out and stomped on them – squeezing the life out of us.  I did not enjoy sleeping or eating, because I did not know where my son was.  I did not know what he was eating, or if he was eating.  I cried many times.  My wife cried.  We’d hold each other and cry.  We felt so helpless.  We would often try to help our son with funds and food and encouragment, only to be deceived and used. There were even times when his prodigal needs would threaten the unity in our marriage because we would disagree on how to help him or not – and this required discernment and communication between us.

Friends and social workers advised us to let him go and not cushion his fall, but it was very difficult to do that.  We kept thinking that our generosity would win him over – but he was addicted and had become a different person.  We knew that deep insde of him there was a kind, loving, caring, respectful young man, but that side of him was dormant.

When I would stand in a pulpit to preach, or minister in a retreat or missions trip, I was smiling on the outside and trying to keep everyone encouraged, but very few knew of the excruciating pain I was feeling on the inside.  I was depressed but his it well.  A few times, after I preached, a young man would walk forward to be saved or commit his life to serving the LORD, and all I could think about was my own son.  The enemy of my soul would whisper: “See, you can reach others, but you can’t even reach your own son – you hypocrite, you failure, you fake.”

There were days when I couldn’t even pray.  I even felt angry at GOD.  I couldn’t read certain verses in the Bible about child-rearing and promises about your children growing up to serve the LORD.  I would skip over them because I felt angry — or I felt guilty — or I blamed myself, though our son never blamed us or used his upbringing in a pastors home .  That’s one thing he never did, he never blamed us r his upbringing.

Finally, when our son was 18, we let go.  We told him: “No more money, no more help, no more transportation, no more anything except love and prayer.  You know we love you, you know how we raised you (not perfect mind you, but I think with consistency), and you know the values we’ve modeled.  Good bye.   You have chosen your path.  We will pray for you and always love you.” That was one of the toughest decisions we’ve ever made in our lives.  But with the help of GOD and your e-mail newsletters and a few close friends, we were able to release any false guilt and move on with our lives.  Also, we read a very good book authored by Allyson Bottke titled: “Setting Boundaries With Your Adult Children” which gave us “permission” to move on with our lives and let our son find his way.  The LORD calmed our fears and we prayed that He would keep our son alive until he “returns home”.

Within 6 months our son hit the bottom.  No one was around to help him.  Just like in the Prodigal Son parable, “no man gave unto him”. He had no friends left – his partying crowd deserted him, and he ended up homeless again, living in a homeless shelter 4 hours from our home.

Then, one day the phone rang.  A ringing phone had become a nervous event for me because I never knew if it was that call every parent fears.  You know the one.

I answered the phone and heard the broken voice of my son.  He said: “Dad, it’s me, please listen.  I am done.  I need help Dad.  I can’t live this way anymore.  I have seen how you and Mom live, and it works.  My life doesn’t work.  I am not deceiving you Dad.  I really need help.  Can you help me find a rehab?”

( I am crying as I type this e-mail.  My tears are expressions of praise to GOD!)

My wife and I drove the four hours to get him.  When we arrived at the specified location in that town – our son walked out of an alley, and we hardly recognized him.  He was so thin – boney, he hadn’t shaved in a few days, he stank very badly, he had nothing except a faded t-shirt, jeans that were dirty and torn up, and an old pair of shoes that had the soles so thin and floppy because the glue was wearing out around the bottom of the shoe.  We embraced our prodigal, wept, put him in the car, drove to a restaurant, bought him some clothes at a Salvation Army store, and dropped him off at a Teen Challenge Rehab facility located 5 hours away from that town.

Since then — here’s how GOD has “restored the years the locusts have eaten”.    HALLELUJAH!!!

Now our son is 21.  He came out of Teen Challenge, enrolled in a program to become a high-quality Chef   (a boyhood dream he always had), he has kept the same job for one year (he is a chef at an upscale restaurant in our town), he has his own apartment, he met a nice girl over one year ago who loves him and loves GOD, they got married 4 weeks ago (I officiated their wedding and my wife sang), HE DOESN’T EVEN SMOKE CIGARETTES!  Which is a huge testimony because he was addicted to everything!  He is respectful, kind, caring, generous, responsible, handsome, ethical, frugal, and very adamant about being a success.  He asks me questions regularly about the Bible and how to live for GOD and overcome temptation.  He is becoming my best friend.  HALLELUJAH!!!!!!  He has been consistent for one year – no drugs, no theft, same job, no deceit, etc..!

Today is Christmas.  In a few hours, we will drive to our sons apartment, pick up him and his lovely wife, and drive to my parents home to enjoy Christmas dinner together and exchange gifts.

All praise be to GOD ALMIGHTY that our prodigal son who was a homeless drug addict 16 months ago, is now “home”.  We pray that other “Parents of Prodigals” will receive hope and strength from our story.

In Christ,
J & M

For 10 years our hearts were ripped out and shown to us beating their last, by our children.

But the Lord Jesus made Himself more real to us as parents. We entered into a much deeper relationship with Him. We learned several valuable lessons worth passing on.

1. Don’t give up even though the pressure to throw up your hands is overwhelming. Dobson says that raising teenagers is like a canoe ride down the rapids, each turn getting more frightening, and you know a giant waterfall is around the next corner – don’t jump out of the canoe. Eventually, in God’s time you find yourself in calm waters.

2. Learn that God’s promises are not only generic for His church, but He gives you many personal promises about your children. “I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. 2 Tim 1:12 To commit your prodigal to Him is to realize He loves him/her more than even parents, He died on the cross for your prodigal. Turn loose, trust the Lord Jesus, put your finger on His promises and pray.

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” Ps 34:19 (The righteous is any that have put their trust in the Lord Jesus for salvation.)

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” Ps 50:15

Nothing brings the Lord into human circumstances quicker than faith in Him and in His word.

3. Parents of prodigals are often derailed by guilt – remember, no one has more prodigals than God Himself, the perfect Father. Children, even though they may have confessed Christ early, still have an old sinful nature. No parent is perfect.

Here’s our miracle: Two of our prodigals turned back to Christ and returned married to unbelievers. They are also saved now. Three of my sons turned back to the Lord and He gave them amazing wives to help them in their new pathway. Like Job we have received double of everything and all we did was barely hang on. My five children alive from the dead, stable adults and loving Christ, and 5 more besides who each love Christ.
