Please pray for our son Mathew.

He is 24 years old has been struggling with drugs for over 7 years now. This past summer he voluntarily attended a Christian based rehab program in Arkansas and was doing better, he was on fire for Christ and really excited about his future. Mathew left the program prematurely believing he had a strong enough foundation in Christ and moved back to Arizona in October. Over the past few months Mathew has turned back to drugs. A combination of setting his beliefs aside and focusing on the world, along with frustration and disappointment in finding work to support himself has taken its toll.

Mathew has turned to marijuana, spice and heroin as his escape. In doing this, he has returned to his old ways of lying, stealing, manipulating and abusing his family and friends in order to get his next fix. The enemy currently has a very strong hold on him to the point that the person we are dealing with is not Mathew anymore. We feel that he is close to physical death whether it is from an overdose or by suicide. We believe that Mathew was sincere when he accepted Christ into his heart and if God takes him then that is His will. We understand that we are not fighting with Mathew but the enemy. Proof of this is the fact that Mathew does not even want to hear about God right now.

I would ask that you pray for:

1. God to restore him and free him from his addictions and these unrelenting attacks by the enemy.

2. God to give him a new passion and desire to follow Him.

3. God to give peace and comfort to Theresa (Mathew’s mom) as this situation has been a great burden on her.

My wife has lost all hope as well as other family members. Knowing that nothing on this earth can change him… Please help me in praying that God would demonstrate his power and grace and perform a miracle in this situation. I also pray that it would touch others and bring them closer to Christ. Above all, may His will be done.

Thank you for your time and prayers.

Sincerely,

Tom (Mathew’s Stepfather)

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
