Prayer Request for Troubled Boy and His Father.
Vanity By Morgana | Morgana

Posted on 08/23/2013 6:27:36 PM PDT by Morgana

Two people I know need your prayers. A friend of mine legally adopted a troubled boy years ago. This man has done every thing he could to help this boy. I can't express in words to all of you what this man has done to try to help this child. You will all just have to believe me when I say this father has sacrificed much to do what he can. However the child still has much anger and is acting out in ways that are very dangerous. I also fear the child is getting worse as he gets older.

This child will turn 18 in a year and I fear he will throw away all the Christian teachings his father has tried to instill in him and do something that will cause great harm to either himself or his father.

My friend prays for this boy so much and I can tell he is sick to death. This father needs prayer to guide him through all this.

Thank you all,

Morgana

Don’t forget - many kids throw off their faith as they leave home, only to return when they get a clearer picture of life. If they are raised to know the Lord, deep will call to deep. Will pray.

Prayer warrior ping. Please respond to Morgana.

Your friend and his adopted son are in my prayers Morgana...thank you for giving us the opportunity to pray for them! God Bless them and guide them both. God draw them closer to him and use this as a way to encourage both of them to walk his path. God take the worry from the teen and give him peace while he struggles with the past. In Jesus’ name.

Praying for both. As adoptive parents now in our 70’s I can identify well with this man.

We are raising what was a troubled grandson who is doing much better but spent a year and a half in a Boy’s Center.
All we can do is our best. It’s God’s power that can change the heart.
The sermon at church today was preached by a once very troubled boy who was tossed onto the street at 13 years of age. Loving people took him in and nurtured him through the anger and he because the President of Asbury University. Amazing man!!
