My son is a "born again" Christian and loved the Lord since he was a kid, but when he turned 18 and started college, he backslided,
I don't know how to get him back, I only that it in God's timing he will come back. He drinks, and some drugs and is grumping all the time.
I think he doesn;t feel worthy anymore. I tried talking to him to no avail. He was in a car accident, he almost got arrrested for DUI, but God spared "us" that dilemma. It really shook him up, but he a stubborn one, and I need your prayers to make sure this is his "wake up
call" for I know God will not give up on him, but he will surely get his attention. How hard will it be for my son before he realizes that. So please pray for him and bring him back to the Lord. He was raised in a good church with a good youth group but the world has got his attention now. The accident just happened Friday and I am waiting to see if there is a change in his actions and attitude. Pray that this has done for him. For I fear something worse may happen to him to surrender to our loving God. Thank you so much in advance.
I want to thank you for your prayers for my son & his wife. I ask God to be with your son as he travels in the worldly ways. I pray Lord that You will watch over him & I pray he heeds Your word before any other incidents happen. Let him know that you are still there with him and help him to do Your will. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
God is married to the backslider my sister and if you continue to trust in him and let goand let God he will work it out for your good. you surrender and let God be in charge.
Hello Barbara , it fir some reason is so uncool if these kids do not go along with the drinking in college. If they knew what it does to thier brain cells and how it effects their school work and how satan does not want them to succeed so he lures them in to alcohol... I pray that your child eyes would be opened to the truth about alcohol and about the truth in friendships and what real friends really are to each other, not drinking buddies. I pray that the stress of college work be removed from this child and that he find pleasure in some other area. I pray that every time dear precious Lord that He puts alcohol to his mouth that he gets so sick that he never wants this again, until he stops. I pray that you protect him and give him the strength to say no... Holy Spirit do a work of conviction in him.. Arrest the spirit of destruction and I pray that he is lead in to a friendship that leads him back close to the Lord as well as service in to the church.... Help this mother to be strong and to pray scripture over her child as much as possible. Give this strong willed child a good spanking ! Protect him and keep him from the devil..
Barabara, Psalms is good to pray for him.. psalms 35... and there are others as well... that are so very good in Psalms. I have the Rainbow Study Bible King James, so it tells you at the top the verses of Protection. I hope to hear from you soon with good news. God is not a God that wants bad things to happen to us to turn us back to him. We choose those things, but when we choose our own will and do not listen to God , He* God * allows our will to reap what we sow... You are right there. Our God is a God of free will...
We pray that he turns his eyes upon Jesus..

Father your word says teach a child the way they should go and they will not depart from it, even though this young man has become a prodical, you are in control, you have him in the palm of your hand, under the shadow of your wing. I speak against the spirits of rebellion, alcohol, drugs, unworthiness in Jesus name, you will surrender their son and he will be what he has always known to be, For greater is he that is in us than the one that is out in the world, send earthen vessels his way as he is out in this world, we thank you for the protection and the grace and mercy you will show him...in Jesus name amen.

God is a mercyful God. He hear all of our prayers and he will wipe away all our tears. All God wants us to do is stand still and watch his mighty right hand at work in our lives. Place your son at God's feet. Give him back to God so that God can work with him and through him and he will be returned back to you like gold. Ask God for strength he will stand by you and help you to deal with the hurt. God will comfort you to. And let go and let God !!! Its going to be all right. Most of all please thank God for what he's going to do for you to help you. May God bless all of you and keep you in his tender loving care.Your sister in Christ.
