prayer for my son

[cmbjim]

My 11 year old son is having a very hard time with his dad's deployment to Iraq. This is his second tour and the first one was hard on him as well. I've felt a strong need to pray for my son lately and today I heard him in his room crying out in anger. He said he was going to kill himself. I never thought I'd hear something like that come from him. He's a very good kid and I get compliments all the time about how well-behaved he is. He's very angry his dad is gone and it's a void I can't fill. I have been praying desperately for his salvation, not really b/c of this deployment, but b/c of his age. I feel like this is the age where a lot of kids are trying to find who they are, they are easily influenced and I want him to take the right path. He's starting 6th grade in a few weeks and I'm concerned about the influences at school, especially during this vulnerable time. Please pray for him! I can't stop crying and I need to know that someone else is praying for him. This isn't something I'm going to just go to anyone about. Please pray for him to open his heart to the Lord. Thank you!

Please Dear GOD shower this child with your immense Love & comfort. Show him that he is not "abandoned" by his father. Let this young child see that he is his father's eyes & soul. Make him aware that his father will not be able to go on without him. He is his father's strength to look forward to,everyday.

GOD Please send Our Troops HOME!! So many are left behind,suffering everyday...some in silence. This precious little child is hurting so deeply.Only YOU GOD can reassure him that his life is worth everything to his mom & his Dad.

**Try getting his father to talk to him from Iraq as much as possible. Visual efforts will not be underestimated. Get them both a webcam so that your young & precious child can SEE for himself that his father is "ok" . The unknown haunts our souls...relieve any of that by letting his Daddy & him chat live thru webcam. You will see a Major uplift in your son's spirits.)GOD helps those whom help themselves...mention this webcam idea to your son. I bet he will smile & Welcome your gift with an open mind & Heart!

GOD Speed to your son's healing!

cmbjim - My heart goes out to you as a mother myself. I feel your pain and desperation. War is so hard on families. Children do not understand adult decisions and because of their lack of understanding, their coping mechanisms get stressed and confused. Be patient and loving to your child. Tell him he is loved and appreciated. Remind him his daddy loves him and doesn't like being away from him and the family but that it is his job right now.

Lord Jesus, words can not express the feelings this prayer requests activates. My heart goes out to them in their situation. Please send a mediator to help, someone kind and loving and full of wisdom and grace who can reach out to this young man to help him understand better why his dad had to go away again. Send kmbjim a friend and confidante to help her deal with this situation, someone she can really talk to, someone who will be a good listener and be there for her. Lord, let there be healing for this family. I pray for protection over this dad that he will be safe and will come home again.

Help us Lord to be sensitive to military families all over for theirs is a special stress. Thank you that these men and women who are willing to serve and protect. We owe them a great deal. May your presense be felt today and may they realize that they are not alone. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to lift them up. A-men
