February 19, 2017 at 10:40 amHello DAB I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year and thought it is time to not just be a listener but also a participant . I’d like to ask family for your prayers over my adult children. I’m a widow and have raised them largely on my own. I’ve tried my best to raised them up in the way they should go. Now that they are adults it seems they have parted from it. My son ‘Travian’ @ 23 is rebellious uses drugs and seems to be angry and confused about everything, My daughter ‘Curran’@ 21 while I’m grateful for her obedience she seems selfish in actions(all about what she wants) using others for her gain at times, and also uses drugs and drinks more than she allows to me know. I’m thinking a little too much. They just seem so lost, and my pray is the Holy Spirit will sync them with their destiny.

February 19, 2017 at 4:55 pmDear fellow DABBER 🙂 , I have read your post and then found this Bible passage which I thought was perfect for your situation, and I hope it will comfort you: “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”-2 Peter 3:9, It talks about how GOD is patient, even though to us it may seem that God has abandoned us, God is just being patient and remember, God works with perfect timing and puts people and different things in our lives at perfect times, so trust in God’s timing, it never fails. It also talks about how HE doesn’t want anyone to perish, even though your children are adults there is still time for God to work in their hearts and to open their eyes to him, God doesn’t want anyone to perish. Once when I posted about how my daddy isn’t a Christian and my grandad, Sheila.tolson kindly replied with:
“Dear Friend ,
Be that living example to them , and as they see your ways they will somehow question why you are different . Also pray that God gives you boldness because he reminds us in his word that He has not given us a spirit of fear , but of POWER and a sound mind .
Remember we are in a battle ! The battle for souls ; 1 side is God and the other side is Satan so if you don’t do anything then automatically who wins ? See the logic . Look at this as a war and you are trying to save your family from the lake of fire , so be bold and this can only come from God and by you praying and walking in fellowship with him .
May the Lord use you to plant the seed into your family and surely someone else may water the seed and with that said your family can receive salvation. I pray the the lord will soften their hearts so that they may receive His word
God bless you”
I hope this helps, remember God loves everyone, God is patient, GOD IS IN CONTROL, hand the situation over to God and remember you aren’t alone, so don’t worry, give it to God. A lady on DAB once said “If God has brought you to it, God will bring you through it.” Carry on praying for your children and trusting in God’s almighty power; be that example of a witness for Christ in your children’s lives 🙂 and use prayer and the Bible as your first resort.
Philippians 4:6-7New International Version (NIV)
“6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”God bless you and remember you aren’t alone. 🙂

February 19, 2017 at 8:40 pmDear sister in Christ,
God bless you I pray God comforts you, God will honour you and will never forget your hard work with your children. I remember losing my mum at 20 I didnt have any faith, my family were not believers, but one thing I remember clearly is that i dont know how i went from being so angry to coming to ask God into my life. As I look back God used different people to call to me, so what seemed impossible became possible. God is the God of the impossible. I know he has his sights on your son. I am praying that people would point him towards God and that he would shout to him and be received. I am praying for your daughter also and pray that she never loses sight of the narrow path and would have soon signficant reasons to stay on it. God blessSheilaTPrayers: 2920Requests: 24
