my son michael
please pray for my son Michael who has graves disease ,which has affected him mentally and physically . he loves to play sports ! but i recently found out by my exwife that he can no longer take gym in high school his first year ,because he is not doing so well academically. I hurt for him because i played sports all through my teenage years. I dont care if he plays on any organized team . But since hes been diagnosed about a year ago, he has been cut from a park football team and his eighth grade basketball trials . each time i see him dissappointed it kills me. I just want him to be able to enjoy the fun of sports! he has a follow up with his doctor tommorrow! I pray to god that all goes well! Graves Disease , an accelerated thyroid gland, or hyper thyroid which causes rapid weight loss and accelerated heart beat . before we knew what he had he went from a healthy 6,2 150lbs 14yrs old to 117 lbs. I felt helpless because it seemed that my baby was withering away after being healthy up to this point! I love him and my youngest son so much ! I just want them to be healthy!
Michael Sr.

RE: my son michael
I've been thinking about fear a lot lately because I've been feeling it.
I've been thinking about my past too,
and I've come to a surprising conclusion.
I'd rather have God know and control my future than me.
I make a lot of mistakes.
God never makes any.
Not one.
Even when I know what to expect,
I sometimes make the wrong decision.
God never does.
I don't have much pull.
God is omnipotent,
the most powerful being in the universe.
I sometimes have trouble trusting him.
That's just my human nature, but it makes me ashamed.
This is my Father who sacrificed his only Son Jesus for me.
On one hand I have Satan whispering to me,
“Don't surrender to him,â€
and on the other hand I hear Jesus say,
“Take courage. It is I. Don't be afraid.â€
~Matthew 14:27~
I believe Jesus.
How about you?
We can give in to fear and let Satan dance us around like a puppet,
or we can trust God and know for sure that we are safe in his hands.
God never lets us go.
Even if we die,
he will bring us safely to him in heaven,
eternally secure.
It's always going to be a struggle for us.
Fear is a strong emotion, and we're all control freaks at heart. J
esus knows that.
And because of that awful night in Gethsemane, .
he knows firsthand what fear is like.
In spite of that, he can still tell us,
“Don't be afraid.â€
Fear is a lifelong battle, but God is our lifelong Protector.
He promised to never abandon or forsake us.
When we are secure in his love and salvation,
nothing can snatch us from him, not even death.
By holding tightly to God, no matter what,
we will make it through, in spite of our fear.
In Jesus Name Amen
