Pray for Strength and guidance for my son & his family

Please pray for my son who had a liver biopsy a few weeks ago. He told me he had a chronic liver disease and they wanted to see how advanced it was & what treatment he needed. I thought it was probably from drinking as he was a teenage alcoholic and only quit drinking a few years ago.
While I was at his home in Troy MO for his biopsy his wife told me that he has hep C & even though they do want to see how advanced it is, he didn't get it from drinking. She told me that he had used crystal for a few years & after that he started using heroin. He has been a heroin addict for over 3 years & I only found out last week. Maybe love is blind, but I never suspected it.
He goes to church regularly & is trying so hard to change his life but he is fighting a terrible painful battle. My daughter-in-law called me tonight & said he left home today after being very sick this AM. She is afraid he is out looking for heroin in a very bad part of St Louis. He truly needs prayer right now that God will take over his life and remove all evil from it. Also to heal his liver.
He also needs prayer to heal all of his instabilities that could have caused him to use in the first place. He has a social phobia & even though he has been popular all his life, he is very shy & suffers from OCD.
His wife needs your prayer also.I believe she is truly ready to fall apart & she is questioning her faith. She has lived with his diease for a very long time & has watched him go through some very bad times.She hasn't had anyone to confide in all these years & is finally getting angry.
He wants to work in prision ministries & I think he would do wonderful but he is not strong enough at this time to help others.
I also need your prayers to help me to keep my faith. I want to run to him & rescue him but I know that is God's job & I need the strenght to leave it in his hands. Our whole family will appreciate your prayers very much. We know there is strength in numbers & I stand on Gods word that if we ask it in Jesus name then our prayers will be answered. I know that it can be in Gods time & not always when we want it to happen but I am afraid it is almost too late. I pray that Gods will-will be done & I pray that you will pray with us.

I spoke with my daughter-in-law today & she said my son came home last night to pray as a family with her. He had drove all over town to find the drug & when he bought some it wasn't any good. He didn't have any more money & could have purchased something with his credit card to use as payment for more drugs but didn't. They have an appointment with their minister tomorrow & I pray that this will help him because he is still hurting very badly.

Update - 10 months ago:

My son is still hurting badly. Today is the day he gets the results back on his liver. Please pray he goes to the doctor & he resists Satans temptation. Please pray the pain goes away so he can function. Thank you all for standing beside me in prayer.

Update - 10 months ago:

My son missed his Dr appt for the results of his biopsy. He said he forgot about it but I don't think he wanted to miss work. He is still having trouble with his addition but he is trying very hard. He is a sub contractor & has many jobs in the city where the dealers know him. I pray that he will give up this business & be guided to a job where he will be surrounded by strong Christians. Please continue to pray for him.

Update - 10 months ago:

My son went to the doctor today. He was told that he has the type of hep C that is hard to treat. He has the beginning of cirrhosis(not sure about this spelling) too but they will not give him any treatment for either one until he is clean for 1 year. My daughter-in-law thinks that he has been clean now for awhile so I pray that is true. They go to a church that doesn't let them sneak out after the service so this is good for him. I want to thank everyone for their prayers. I hope you will continue to pray for him to have strength from his addiction, his liver will be cleansed & that he will surrender his entire life to the Lord. God bless you all.

Update - 9 months ago:

My daughter in law tells me that my son is doing pretty good but not perfect. I guess that means that he still slips sometimes. He has started a bible study for men on Thursday nights & she said it is hard for him to go there & to church every week & then go use drugs. He is very knowledgeable on Gods Word & I ask that you pray he will realize that he is worthy of the wonderful things The Lord has promised us in His Book. I also ask you to pray that he will find a good job in his field so he is able to give up his business and stay out of the city. My family continues to be thankful for all your prayers.

Update - 9 months ago:

My daughter in law called me this evening & she said my son is doing very good. She said he seems really happy & emotionally is in a good place. I do ask that you continue to pray for him. Thank you all so much for the many prayers that have been said. God bless you all.

Thank you so much Deeney for the candles and your words of prayer. Right now, things are getting so depressing, and many days, all I want to do is cry, but I don't, because I have got to be strong for my kids. This week has been particularly bad; the world can be such a cruel, hard place to survive. I pray that God will heal your son of all of his addictions and illnesses that are affecting his body. He really seems to have a good heart, and seems definitely to be trying to get his life back on track. I pray for many good things and continuous blessings to pour into your lives. I pray that God will keep you strong in His faith as you continue to stand in faith for you and your family. God bless you, sister, until later...Pat

Luke 5:20; Luke 5:22-24; Luke 6:3-5; Luke 7:22,23; Luke 8:5-18; Ephesians 6:11-20 20. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
22. But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 23. Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? 24. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
3. And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; 4. Go he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 5. And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
22. Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 23. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
5. A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredforld. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10. And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing thy might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 11. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 16. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. 17. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing his, that shall not be known and come abroad. 18. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to sand against the wiles of the devil. 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in his high places. 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19. And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20. For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
To all my Brother, and Sisters out their who need to hear these words Father bless everyone on this site.
