My son; my one and only child, will be 39 next month. Although he knows truth regarding salvation through Jesus Christ, and was raised up in a Bible-teaching, Evangelical church; who sincerely gave his life to Christ at the young age of 8… he’s chosen to live by the world’s standards & not that of His Word. He turned away at about age 16. He absolutely still believes in the Holy Trinity; but has been deeply wounded by ‘life’; & has embraced the world’s way of coping, instead of Jesus. He has a son (soon to be 16). The mother didn’t marry my son. Although we all live in the same town, my son has a fractured relationship (at best) with his son. (Due in large part to the mom’s manipulations) But, my son has also chosen to be estranged from me and the rest of our family members; (tho we are a very small family in number). My son lives less than 10 minutes from me. I haven’t seen or heard from him in almost a year. (Side note: It may be important to know that for the majority of his life, I raised him as a single parent. Not having had a Dad in his life had a major negative impact on him.) Many of my attempts to provide a ‘solid-in-Christ’ male role model, failed. When he was old enough to choose his friends, despite my druthers, he invariably chose outcasts or misfits. I dislike using labels on people, but am trying to present a clear/accurate picture.
As his Mom, I am deeply despaired. I, of course, pray scripture over him daily. I have for over 20 years. I know He is faithful & trustworthy. I’m holding onto Him with everything in me. But I admit I am growing weak & weary am losing hope. I so desire a real, healthy Mom/son relationship with my son. Ive asked praying family members and a few friends over the years to agree with me in prayer for my son. But it seems evident and certainly feels like I’m alone in my deep concern. My heart is in anguish. Please, please pray for my son; for me; for us. Thank you so much.
