My Son And Other Issues in Life - LoveAndLight - 10-31-2011 08:36 AM
Please pray for my son, Alex, who suffers with depression due to the fact his father died suddenly last year and his dog was put to sleep. It's been a very hard time for him and he's pretty lost. As his mom, it's heartbreaking for me not to know what I really can do for him. (He won't take my advice and seek a counselor or minister.) Also, please pray that I may get a job soon. Thank you.

Hi LoveAndLight,
What a wretched time for you both. I too have a son called Alex who has various problems but that's for another posting. I can sympathise to an extent as my father died when I was 16 and I remember how bereft I felt, for a long time, heck I still miss him and I'm 54 now!!
Are you involved in a church at all or do you have any family that can offer emotional support for you?
You didn't say how old Alex is, does he know the Lord at all?
You said "it's heartbreaking for me not to know what I really can do for him" well actually you do know and you've done it - PRAYER, and asking others to stand with you through these difficult times. Our heavenly Father knows what you are both going through and I pray for His comfort and wisdom for you and for divine healing for the grief Alex is suffering.
I will keep you in my prayers.
With love in Jesus
David.

Father God, I pray that you act in the lives of both sons (Alex and Alex) and that you use the circumstances to your GLORY. I pray that depression be gone in the name of Christ and that you bring people into their lives who have a profound affect in healing them and pointing them to YOU. Father God, I pray for these parents. Grant them wisdom in these respective situation and may YOUR PERFECT WILL be done in the lives of these children. Father God, I ask this in the name of your son Jesus Christ. AMEN.
