Hurting parents
arion:
Will certainly pray for him. Remember the prodigal. The good news is that every prodigal will find his way home in the fullness of time. I know you realize that but it certainly doesn't make it any easier during the time being. About the only carnal advice I can offer is try not to figure out why this is happening to him, it will drive you nuts and there are no answers other than that for some reason this is God's plan for him. May God be with your family during this time and give to you the peace that passes all understanding.

Thanks to everyone for their kind and uplifting words. I understand that all this is happening for a reason and that His will will ultimately be done. I have experienced so many times in my life things that didn't make sense until years later, and it then became so obvious that God had his hand on the situation. I trust that this will be the case with this trial as well.

i will be praying for you and your family. i have gone thru similar circumstances and lost a son. it is very hard as a parent to accept that God is in control of all circumstances & working out His plan for our childrens life even tho it is not what we want for them. . . God has graciously let me keep 2 sons up to this time. i know the hours of worry & heartache & crying out to God for mercy & understanding
in the early morning hours. we never know what Gods plan is for our children, but it does help to know that no matter what happens, they are in Gods hands & His will be done. If they are not a chosen vessel in this life, we have Gods promise that they will be saved thru judgement. this has given me much comfort. one of my favorite verses says it all:
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
i pray that God will be merciful to you and your family & turn your sons heart to do what is right. if that is not His plan, i pray for you the strength to endure.
