Dear Prayer Team,
My 18 year old son, Grant, who accepted Christ as a child, has recently decided that Christianity is full of defects and is basically rejecting the faith. Hearing your precious child say such things is absolutely the most painful news a parent can hear. I am so stunned and distraught that I am lifeless. This has been an exceedingly difficult year for our family and I'm now sure how much more tragedy I can cope with. We lost 3 important seniors in our family through extremely unusual and tragic circumstances within only 4 months: an uncle, and then adoring grandparents - just 3 weeks apart. Perhaps in all of our grief, we did not realize how these events were damaging Grant's faith. Now, I don't know how to approach him and I am afraid that I will say the wrong thing. Unfortunately, he is going away to a Christian university in just a few weeks and we have little time. He is leaving on Monday to go to his freshman camp. Please pray for God to have mercy on him, rebuke these evil ideas and their source, return to Christ quickly, and to give his family and pastor the right words to say.
Thank you for praying,
Distraught mom
