[/color][/size]My Son Darren, 17.

He got into some trouble and with consequences pending, he has a sincere desire to "change" and of course when that happens...every outside influence, even some seeming good and harmless intecede. I think he's okay with facng consequences...they should be tolerable but they ARE looking to label him as "gang affiliate"which is NOT an issue with him, in fact, the opposite. So, even though he knows what's been done wrong...the "gang affiliation" is unjust and could end up a lifetime "label". (He was "tagging" and is blamed for ALL writing on wall even some obviously old and some VERY artistic which he could not have done in the circumstances explained by officers.)

Also, he has a teacher who is not giving him earned credit as he struggles SO HARD to make graduation in time. [size=medium][color=#800080]

Dear Jesus,

Lord you bring trials in our lives, and bring them through them , so later on we can help others who go through similiar trials and I praise you for that Lord Jesus.

Lord, I know exactly how this parent feels , for it was only a few years ago, I was dealing with similiar issues with my own son , but through prayer and many , many ministrying hands reaching out to help my family Lord Jesus, you placed your hand upon my son and a situation that seemed impossible at the time and did the impossible and I know you can do the same for this child of yours, Darren Lord. You can and will deliver him Lord, for it does not matter what the world labels him, you know his heart Lord, and you know the desire he has to change Lord, and we ask that you honor him Lord and walk before him Lord, protecting him and destroying any plan from the enemy that is set in his way to destroy him or hinder the glorious plan in his life.

Lord, even when it is not easy, help this child of yours and this parent, hold tight to you and be vigilant and stand strong in your power and might, knowing that Lord, you give us Victory Lord, and you will use all of this for your glory . Help them pray for the enemies Lord and I ask you soften all of their hearts concerning this child Lord, and put many hands in front, back and beside this child , that will believe by faith that this child is precious in your sight and deserves as many chances as you give us, 70x7.

Put angels all around them, comfort, encourage, support and deliver them. We do trust that Lord you are going to do a powerful and mighty thing not only in Darrens life, but this whole families life and all glory and honor Lord, will be given to you Lord, as again , what mans says is impossible Lord, you laugh, for nothing is Impossible with you and we Praise you and thank you for that, Lord Jesus.

In your precious name, Jesus, I pray.

Amen.
