Oh, Robin, I’m so sorry to hear this.
There is so much church hurt and spiritual hurt. I’ll pray with you for your son and his teenagers.
And, I’ll pray with you for your daughter also.
There is no hurt quite like the hurt we feel over our children and their choices.
I’m asking God to comfort your heart and to draw your kids and grands to His heart!
Keep going, sister! God still does awesome miracles!
Blessings,
Melanie

My son was once a minister and is now very angry with God . His sons are teenagers and are close to making decisions for Christ, but are afraid because he is so anti Christian. My beautiful daughter who was once my best friend is now living an alternative lifestyle and had cut contact with me completely. My heart is broken. I am praying continually, and I hope that I am righteous enough for my prayers to be heard. Please pray for my children.

Hey Vicky,
Thank you for reaching out to me and sharing your story!
We pray! That’s what we do… until God changes every single heart!
In our own family, we have watched God work in mighty ways!
Pray on, Sister!
God hears!

However, life happens.
Thank you for these encouraging verses, they spoke loud today and I will be using them to stand on from
now on. Thank you for reaching out with hope, once again for me as their mother.

I’ve casted many prayers for my son that is going through a very tough divorce. Covering every way possible to pray to God for changing his heart. He knows his God, but feels like there is no hope. Your message and guidance has been a blessing in our troubled times.

Hey Laura,
It sounds like you and your son are having great and open conversations. That’s so good!
And, I pray that he will be drawn into a relationship with God and will taste the kindness of Jesus.
So glad the prayers encourage you!
Blessings,
Melanie

My son states that he knows the God of Israel is real, that Jesus the Messiah is real, that salvation is real. He goes to church. However, he admits that he has no sense of emotional attachment or loyalty to the God of Israel and no commitment to Jesus the Messiah. I applaud my son’s honesty on the subject and respect him for being honest about it. These suggested prayers are a great help to me.

Thank you, Gen, for stopping by and leaving a comment.
I will pray with you for your Kaylynn to find her way back to the Lord.
Asking the Spirit to pursue her and continue to show her God’s love – over and over again!
Keep me posted~
Melanie

I will be doing this for my daughter who is starting to stray. And I ask everyone here to please pray for my 11 year old KaytLynn to find her way back as she is struggling in her belief.
