Hurting parents

Hello everyone,

I know many of you by your screen names.  I have been reading the forum and Ray's teachings for several years now, but I am not much of a poster--mostly a listener.

In spite of my not having direct dialogues with any of you, I feel like I know a great number of you by reading all the many comments, questions and observations over time, and I know and appreciate the heart of truth and love you all have.

I am asking for your prayers as I deal with a severe heroin addiction my 19-year-old son is facing.  My wife and I are becoming literally sick with worry over this problem and feel like our child is standing on the edge of the abyss right now.

I know in my head that God is in control of the situation.  It is my heart that hurts so much it can hardly stand it and wants know why this is happening and what I can do. Our son has such a good heart...he cares more about others than he does about himself. He knows he needs help, but he cannot stop putting himself in situations that turn out badly.

If any of you has a minute and can say a quick prayer for my lost son and his hurting parents, I would appreciate it.  I have gotten so much out of Ray's writings that I hesitate to ask for anything more, but right now this is all I know what to do.

In Him,

B

Dear B, whatever anguish, whatever despair, take it all to God!! Don't just take it with your mind but with all your heart and soul, with your tears, frustrations and seemingly hopelessness. "The heartfelt prayer of a rightious man avails much"
It helps me to visually pray. I picture an enormous X over the culprit whether a person or substance. This helps my faith. Then pray and see all the good you want from God with all humility and truth coming to your son. Focus on the goodness and mercy of God. Do not allow yourself to doubt. Many times God has honored my petitions 
as He will yours. How is another story though.
I would pray for you in this manner but as of now i am fairly sick but I will pray a simple prayer of faith for God to remember you and your son and His Word. "Put Me in remembrance of My Word" says the Lord. I remind God of the great love He put in my heart for Him and my lifelong response to that love. I am no favorite of God as He has none. Love, Judy

B, your son is not lost. I don't doubt the suffering, fear and uncertainty. These things with God are not sufficient to thwart either His Plan or His Purpose that is for good and beneficial result that we do not see through the flesh of our human limitations.

Those who are not suffering and who are in self assumed right standing with God....they are lost, dear brother.

I see your son as a special connection to the Mercy of God. God's knowledge and Purpose of where you are in your pain and suffering is not lost on God either for you or your son.

Judy, your prayer and remembrance of the Word of God is beautiful, inspired and of God.

Blessings
