    gigi I had requested prayers because I do not know how to pray within words. I informed you or whoever gets this. I confessed the pain of my son Arthur and how his life is struggling for life. how his prayers were sent out when he was forced to lye, tired in the hot sun, asking God to not be so hard on him. How the catholic priest came to his hospital bed and asked him if he could pray for him and how the prayer from the priest must have touched his heart and he rejoiced in tears and was anxious to tell me when I had gone to visit him. (my son) at that time, I had thought He was committing himself to the great skies.

    Just because I do not use Verses and scriptures of prayer request or informing how the pain hurts inside of me for my son. Yes! i PRAY and pray over, and over for my son to release himself to the great man up above. his addiction overwhelms him from all the promises that were let down, then again it might be an excise sorry. just because my son is struggling with his health, the system, as well as the drugs, it is not me. I am clean I just basically stay at home and jump when his in needs. I do not mean to enable my son, It saddens my heart that I am not able to write this all to you without you to not allow Prayers to be sent out. Sorry. I am a believer, but I have never faithfully committed myself for I lean to my son in prayer. can you understand. I do not know verses, nor scriptures and in fact I never knew what a testimony was and if I was doing that. so, I guess I too am a failure. You might reject me for writing this but at least the man above does not reject me. he keeps me pursuing help in prayers for my Child so to say. Never give up.

    I am here once again. Still the Stress keeps troubling as well as lingering on. It is easy to say: Pray on it but Times gets so hard, I feel Like I cannot pray alone. Yes! READING how Jesus, and many more has gone and knelt along when troubled and prayed to his father they call God. I have no one but Jesus to talk to and feels as though I cannot get a answer. I imagine I do, but too blind for the tears get in the way. Tomorrow a caseworker from the hospital name Erica might have some solutions, but I do not know.

    Well I finally opened my bible and found myself reading: Matthews 16: 25 and kept reading, so I got on this computer and read it on here, looking at it and how they have on the side some, Triva questions', so I took the questions and answered them, not realizing I can answer 5 questions and missed two couple of times I got 5 correct answers I was amazed at self, it got me out of stress, and focused on God and the disciples and his (jesus) showed them that those loafs of bread can feed hundreds of people.

    anyway, back to my son. Is there Hope, love, compassion from people for his safety and endurances to keep getting the help set for him? I am remembering reading. "JOB" and how the devil was testing his faith and God knew "Job" so he allowed the test of faithfulness, and yes, I know my son is a sinner but there is hope with the help of prayers from you guys.

    Good morning, GIGI: today is another day-yesterday is gone with sadness. Arthur must be getting well, his calling me for I have his debit card, and the time is getting closer to have income inserted to his card. His demands are he needs to pay rent and get another phone, but in reality, his finding excuse to go to his addiction (I assume) the prayers are so in need for Arthur that the demon will leave him for the prayers of faith are more powerful, I cannot pray by myself and you're the only reliable ones I can lean on other than the great man above. as for the sister's reply- I do read the bible and I have a hard time comprehending the bible scriptures, as well as verses. but I come to your faithfulness of this king James version is because It has allowed me to express/explain the situation that I and my son are going through as well as no one or I have no one to run to that I feel assured of in faith, I have no family they all deceased and I am the elder and am the only one for my Now three son's. I do and not want desperately to want to have Arthur deceased. his lost so much of his body and I do not want the rest to go because he has a great kind, well-mannered with compassion heart if given the opportunity to not taken advantaged with promises that are not kept. I have tried and tried so hard to set up Assistant living for him and no Program well-accept him, but the sad part is-they give the run around and not answer Honestly why/what they are saying. and Arthur is adding on by wanting to go back to that kind of world, I feel bad and am thinking, it is time for this mom to step-down get-tough love and move on this time. and I am struggling as well in my heart of letting go.

    Dear !DLHenri-2025

    Your hope for your son and yourself is in the Lord Jesus Christ, our Great God and Savior, as stated in Titus 2:13; in the Father, our God Almighty, and the Holy Spirit who dwells in believers, so I recommend you keep spending your time and energies with God in prayer, asking for wisdom in this situation, for deliverance for your son, and the opening of doors for his care for the future.

    I continue to keep you and Arthur in prayer. And I do recommend reading Psalms. Thanks for sharing this update. I am partnering with you in this distressing situation.

    Draw near to the Lord and he will draw near to you. James 4:8

    He loves you and your son. I am glad he responded to the priest's prayers. It is hard to see our children go through pain and challenges.

    No judgment from me in your son's issues or for your support of him. Keep talking to your shepherd and trusting that He will make all things right in his time. May he pour his love over the both of you and fill you with all faith and believing.

    Dear !DLHenri-2025

    I appreciate that you are sharing your heart here. You are enduring so much pain for your son and he is also suffering greatly. I am glad to keep you in prayer. If you do have a Bible, I would just encourage you to read it. I would recommend psalms as in them the writer calls out to God in times of trouble, grief, despair, and worry.

    God is always good and He sees you and your son and knows all that you both are experiencing. I pray that He will give your more faith in Him and brings you to trust Him with everything in about your life and your son's life.
