My son Giles (aged 19 years)

Hi I would appreciate prayers for my son - In 2001 we lost both my parents - the shock of this totally changed both our lives - my son did not grief externally at that time, until now - he has not been out of the house for 6 months, he has been self harming by slicing himself - I have tried every which way to support him, by getting my friends to talk to him - arranging appointments with the Doctor but to no avail - he will not leave the house to attend - he has now said if someone had said to him a year ago that they were considering suicide he would have told them to sort themselves out - yet today he finds himself in that exact frame of mind - I do not know any of his friends, but I know they are few - he is very depressed and has lost hope and faith in himself - myself and son are christians but unfortunately have not attended church for quiet a while since the death of my parents - but my heart still belongs to God - even though I have had a few fallouts with him - I think this was down to anger and not understanding why both my parents died. Part of me died as well - My son is a bright individual - very academic - but just seems to have lost himself - he says only his grandparents ever loved him and does not know why he was born - says he has no purpose in his life. He says you cannot even go outside without individuals judging you and wanting to start trouble, the police are always looking at you strangely - what sort of a life is that - my son desperately needs prayer to get his life back - it has always been just me and him hence he takes out alot of his aggression and feelings on me - so sometimes our home is like a war zone and there has been times we have not spoken for months - I have a few friends who have been fantastic, but have no supporting family - the few friends I have do their best - now I am asking and praying for others to please pray for my son - when he smiles it like the sun comes out - all that is on his face on a daily basis is sadness and loss - please prayer for us that our lives will improve in every area, I am currently off work due to the stress of it all now having taken its toil on my health - so things have reached a state of desperation - my son gave his life to Christ when he was 8 years old, but over the years due to the struggle of being from a single parent home - he lost his faith - and believes if there is a God - why has life continued to get worse rather than better - when he was baptised - my son told me he saw a cloud hovering over the TV when he went into our living room - the holy spirit touched my son at such an early age - he dreamed and saw visions of himself doing Gods work - and he would tell me this - so I know in my heart God has a plan for my son - and I just want my son to renew his faith in God so that Gods will, will be done - please I ask you all to pray for him - I thank you all in the name of Jesus - God bless x

First of all just let me say the DEVIL IS A LIAR FROM THE PITS OF HELL from whence he came. Do not receive into your heart anything that the enemy is trying to tell you or your son. The fact that you say your son has a great calling on his life the enemy does not want to see that come to pass. That is winning more souls to the kingdom of God and his camp being destroyed. These are some instructions that you should do on a daily because I know exactly what it is that your son is going through. Speak life and declare the word of God over you and your son. Annoint anything that belongs to him that you may have in your possession and speak the word of God over it, remember you declared to me that his word goes out and does not return void. God will do just what he said he would do. I rebuke every paln, plot scheme and trap that the enemy is trying to bring against you and your son. No weapon formed against either of you shall prosper in Jesus name. He said he knew the both of you even before you entered into your mother's womb. He knows he plans he has for you both plans to prosper you and do you good all the days of your life (Jerm 29:11). He has not given you the spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind in the name of Jesus. Keep your eyes stayed on him and he will keep you in perfect peace. I speak life into every dead or fallen thing in the both of your lives. Keep looking towards the hills from whence all your help does flow. God has appointed you and your son for such a time as this he has not given up on you I keekp hearing that in my spirit. He loves the both of you and he has not left you.... A quick testimony in August 1, 2004 my grandmother passed and thought that I would loose my mind because she was not just grandmother she was mother to me because she raised me. I thought that I would loose my mind for quite some time and so did other members of my family. There were days that I felt that I wanted to kill myself as well but God said not so. There were days that I picked up pill bottles and just cried for hours because I felt so empty and alone. A few weeks later I found out that I was pregnant with my first child and I lost it all over again. Here I was the first one in my family to get married and have a child the way that God intended it to be and my grandmother would not be around to see my kids and I was one of the youngest so it was like my children would be the only ones that she never got see or hold. This made me become very angry with God and I began in some ways to resent him. I never stopped going to church but I would go and cry the whole service and not focus on the real reason for my being there. Now three years later and I am still here praising the name of Jesus and soon will begin to preach his word. I truly thank him for that because I saw my grandmother passing as being the worse thing that I could ever go through in life but I made it through with the help of God. I now see that him calling my grandmother home was not to hurt me but to help prepare me for my destiny that he planned and designed just for me. If I had taken my life I would not be here on this sight praying an lifting others up and being a shepherd for our heavenly father. Keep the faith. God will uphold you and your son through this ordeal. Stand back and see the salvation of the Lord. I love you my sister in Christ.

Marylean - 11 months ago: 14/11/07 Thank you very much for your prayer - everything you have said - I know - but there are period in my life - which has stemmed over 5/6 years that I have lost my direction, as has my son - as a mother, you try to be there for your kids, and whilst I went through the motion of trying to survive/live, my son I believe was questioning his existence, yes I have been angry with God, and maybe in some ways I still am - I no longer go to church, and first it was because I was angry at the death of my parents, but now I just am not interested - I do talk with God, and I am surrounded by a handful of friends who are christians, we and support each other, I would like to beileve God understands this. Things have not improved where my son is concerned as he continues to lock himself away from the outside world - eating one meal a day if that - as of today, I have not seen him for over a week, even though we are in the same house. I do feel very angry with him, because he know what he should do, but he in his own way has lost his faith in God - I feel now that I should stand back and allow God to do his work, because at the moment, I am trying to keep it together at work, financially, with my son on top of it all, my head is constantly in my hands. I want to thank you again for your kind words - God bless u - xxx

Father God we thank you for your blessings, we worship you we give you praise and golry be the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Father God I pray for Marylean and her son to be heal from the loss of their love ones. father God hold them in your arms and keep their hearts safe from pain and sadness heal and bless them Father God with joy and happiness that they are loved you by you oh God. Heal this young man soul and bless him with faith stronger than what he had. IT IS ONLY FOR A TIE WE ARE STATIONED HERE ON EARTH, OUR FINAL DESTINATION IS WHEN OUR SOULS LEAVE OUR BODIES. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE ALL GOING ONE DAY, THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIVE HERE ON EARTH. I know the pain and sadness of the lost of love ones I have lost my father, my mother and my eldest brother with in 10 years. It is pain that will never be quenched especially for those that never get to ask for forgivness or to say goodbye.....I know the I myself at one time after I lost my mother wanted to die so badly for to me that was the only way I was going to see her again, how would I die i it was not God's will, my life does not belong to me, it is God's so I have no right to take it...That is what the devil wants us to think, that all is lost and we should just put an end to our life, so then he would be more than happy to grab it, and claim it then we will know what real punishment is, we'll will have sealed our faith. Father do not let satan take mind of this young man, please come into his heart and mind let him know that he is loved by you, let him know Father God that his mother needs him, FatherGod I pray for that you will light his heart and soul with yur love -remind him oh Father of the great love you have for him and of the great love he once felt for you... Bring him back to you God, do not leave him for satan to have, bring in back to you oh GOD, I pray for the potection of the blood of Jesus Christ on this mother and son, on their souls in their hearts, and on their mind and on their lips.... THIS I PRAY IN JESUS NAME AMEN

GOD WILL ALWAYS LOVE US, do not trn away from him

God,
I know You can touch this wonderful, loving mother and her son where they are at right now. You love them both and have Your arms wrapped around them both right now. You want to love them through the difficult times, but they must let You! They don't have to be perfect...just willing to give You a chance ! You are a loving God, You are their Father, Your heart aches for them ! All they have to do is ask....as simply as possible.

I've been in some difficult situations before where I thought God wasn't with me or wan't going to be with me for a certain reason. I didn't even know what to say, because of different reasons, too stressed, too drained, you get the idea. I prayed VERY simply to God. My prayer was this: God, HELP !
The awesome thing is this.....He knew exactly what help I needed, He was waiting to help me, but I had to ask Him for the help. He doesn't force anything on His people. But He is such a loving God, always. Don't worry about your church attendance, anger, frustration, or anything else like that. HE LOVES YOU!!!!

Marylean - about 1 year ago: Thank you - sometimes it hard to remember when last my son and I smiled - seems to be more a continuous battle - but yes you are right - God bless and thanks again x

"Our Heavenly Father, thank you for your faithfulness. O'Lord, it is so hard to be a young person during these times. I pray for Giles that your loving arms are put upon him. I pray dear Lord that there be renewed faith in you. I pray too Lord that the eyes of Giles heart are opened so that he realizes that his grandparents would want him to continue to live life to the fullest. Grieving takes time Lord, and I pray as he goes through this that you are right there with him and when it is done, that he comes out stronger than before. I pray for Giles mom too that she may have peace and that her heart is filled with hope for the future. I pray for physical, emotional, mental and financial healing for this family. I pray that they will read your word and immerse themselves in you O'Father. I pray as their relationship with you develops and grows that the love for each other will also. In your most holy name, Jesus Christ, I pray for Giles and Marylean to have complete fulfillment. Amen."

Dear Lord, I pray most urgently for Giles. Please heal him of his depression and keep him from hurting himself. Only a mother can know the deep anguish of seeing a child suffer. Lord, please hear this Mother's cry and send your healing touch to Giles. I pray that Giles somehow gets directed to a counselor or therapist to help him. St. Dymphana, Patron Saint of those suffering from depression, anxiety, and other nervous disorders, please, please pray urgently for Giles and keep him safe. Please, Lord, Bless Marlean with peace and clarity for how she can best help her son. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Please keep praying, Marylean. God will hear you!
