prayer for son

<< < (3/4) > >>

Peggy,
 Just as my William , my son in law, was thinking there was no one out there for him and feeling sad about it, he  re-met my daughter. She was not dating her boyfriend anymore, (a boyfriend who thought that William would be a better fit for her than he was) and they clicked almost immediately. God's plan was pretty clear to them right away, but it took real work on both their parts since she moved away for a year. I understand feeling that protective heart over a son. My son is struggling and it is the most painful thing I've ever had to be a part of. But patience and love are fruits of the spirit, and our children give us ample opportunity to learn both.
 Praying for you both,
 P

thanks everyone for your support and prayers it means a lot to have a community and be able to go to them with my concerns of the heart. a big comfort.  there is so much out there right now going on sometimes i wonder if i should even watch the news and how controlled is the news?  Do we bury our heads in the sand?  that just doesn't seem right.  i just have great concerns at all this.  I am 56 years old and yesterday my sons and husband was up on our roof tearing it a part to put a new one on the flat part.  well Joe and Zach had to drive back to Orlando today and it rain all day so no work was done and the roofing material, plywood sheets cutting and nailing in is left to us*$%!!!*  Lord have mercy  we need prayer too it get really hot in Florida. and he the husband isn't in good shape.  If i am right  Jesus really wasn't a carpenter  right???  this can't be part of the growth can it?     carpenter Peggy

Gosh ez2u. I wish I could help. Don't even think about what's going on in the world. There's not much we can do about it. The world has always been a mess.
I pray you and your husband can get help to finish the roof. I know what that is like as my husband can't do a whole lot anymore and one thing after another breaks, rots or falls down. I would move into an apt. but he won't. I am always searching for cheap labor. We have some really big projects and my children are so busy they can't help much. I could care less anymore. I think I will call a church, maybe they have a few good men who would do some work, I can get the materials but can't afford the labor.

reading this link as I am praying for my son a lot these days and the heading spoke to my heart. Judy, I know what you mean about daughters and sons - my two daughters do seem to manage better when they are down, but my heart is heavier when my son is sad. My husband says that men need a helpmate, for sure, and yes, I think that women's hearts yearn for children to complete them. Of course, this is generalization, too, but what you wrote makes sense to me.

So many things in commonality to the posts here! My son's name is Zach, he went to Orlando for college, he is seeking a girlfriend, too, and he works as a roofer at the moment (after the expensive college education  :-\). Somehow, it would be neat if he could help you out with the roofing problem! But I do know that with these odd bits of things in common, I will definitely be reminded often in prayer for your Joe's loneliness, (as I pray for my son) and people's need for help with house repairs. I will pray for God's provision for these. A friend mentioned on her blog that God doesn't necessarily take away our troubles (He uses them for our good) but He does take away our CARES - we don't have to be anxious about anything but give our requests to Him, with thanksgiving, and petition Him for help. The thanksgiving part used to puzzle me, but now I realize that troubles bring me to Him and I see, not always clearly, that He grows me and others through the problems.

God bless

Karen
