September 8, 2016 at 3:57 amPlease pray for my son, who is an adult and an alcoholic. In his younger yrs. he served the Lord. But in the past 15 yrs he has served the devil. I pray for his soul every night. I am so fearful he is going to kill himself or worst someone else. He has had several wrecks and is now going to have tocarry SR22 for ins. the cost is outragoues, not that he doesn’t deserve it, but he works 32 to 38 hrs. a week making 9.00 an hr and can barely keep up with the bills he has aquired. He lives at home with my husband & myself. He is NOT allowed to drink in or around our home, yet he still will come home usually Friday nights or even sometimes Saturday( not every Friday or Saturday night) intoxicated. It infuriates me. We always say son PLEASE stay where you are going, please do not drink & drive. His response is I don’t plan on it. Yet he does, not lalways but 4 out of 5 times, he chooses too. We have sent him to rehab, he was sober for 3 months got his chip from AA, then boom he starts drinking again. Please pray for his drinking problem that Our Lord & savior will take the desire away and please pray for his soul. I know he believes in God but he chooses not to serve God. He has been depressed also and has also talked of suicde, so please lift him up in your prayers. I just don’t know what else I can do as a mother. He is a good man, works hard, helps his grandparents on the weekends, yet this drinking demon has got him bound. And he truly needs prayer…Thank you so much for reading my prayer request and praying for my son..God bless you all!

September 8, 2016 at 5:37 pmIt broke my heart to read your request as I can relate to what you are going through with my own son. I pray that God will take hold of your son and fill the void that he is trying to fill with alcohol to numb him to his pain. I pray that God will give you strength and patience to persevere and to comfort you when you worry what might happen to him. I hope that you can release your pain and worries upon our Father and let him work through your son. I have also been afraid that my son may be dead when I come home from work or I would check on him to make sure he is still breathing if he didn’t come out of his room all day. It hurts so much to watch your child suffer and make bad decisions and as a parent we want to fix it and make it all better. Know that God is in control and I pray that he is working great changes beneath the surface that are necessary for your son to suffer through so that he can come out on the other side strong and victorious and all praise will be to God the Father. I have been praying for six years now for my son and we have to keep the faith and know what we believe even when our eyes and experiences tell us otherwise. Love and prayers for you and your son. My son’s name is Jordan if you can also keep him in your prayers. Thank you & God bless.

September 9, 2016 at 3:24 pmI am praying for you son to repent of his sin of rebellion and the use of alcohol. AA is not a very good recovery program. I would recommend TEEN CHALLENGE a Biblically based program. Your son would have to commit to long term residential care. Google: Teen Challenge on the computer to find a program in your area. They have a high success rate in recovery. They strive to transform lives through the gospel and biblical teaching. It is not for teens alone. They do accept adults. Please investigate to see if this ministry could help. I know it has help many. Teen Challenge Choir would come to my churches to minister in song and testimony. Your son has not yet it bottom in order to call upon the name of the Lord.

September 10, 2016 at 8:56 pmStill praying. I know what alcohol and do to a family. My father died alcoholic. He destroyed our family life. He was never saved or followed Jesus Christ. I am praying that the Lord does whatever is necessary to get his attention. He may have to hit the bottom before he cries for help. Be sure you are not interfering with what the Lord may be trying to do.
Pastor Weaver
Let me know how he is doing.
