Womanizing, drinking, wild living, and numerous other things of a wayward life have his mother and me just about at the end of our ropes

As you admit, he's being just like Dad was at his age. That being said, keep praying yourself. I have ZERO doubt that I only survived without getting killed doing crazy things during that time in my life because of the prayers of my parents.

The prayers of the righteous WILL NOT return void.

understood and praying

1 Timothy 1 15-17: Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst.But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

We've both talked until we're blue in the face and it goes in one ear and out the other.

Then stop it!

Your son is an adult. As a parent, your only job now is to love him, that's all. His personal life is no longer your business unless HE comes to YOU and asks for advice, help, etc. Until then, if anyone comes to you with tales of your son, stop them in midsentence and tell them, "My son's personal life is personal. If he wants me to know something, he will tell me. Thank you anyway."

All you've got to do is love your child.

Prayers are winging their way on you and your family's behalf.

I'm praying for you and your son. I walked the same road when I was young and the Lord Jesus pulled me back to the straight and narrow in time. Pray hard with fasting sometimes and get as many Christians as possible to pray for your son. Don't ever give up. God bless you.

Bump to the prayer lists.

Prayers on the way. I went thur something like this. It may take 2 years, it may take more, but God does answer prayers. Hang in there and have faith and patience.
