My son who was raised to trust and believe in God now says he's an atheist. It tears my heart up. He is retired military, seen combat and struggles with every day living. In short, I'm so afraid he'll take a permanent way out. At age 30, he has been through a lot. I know the devil seeks to destroy him and in turn rattle my faith in God. I can't give up and I need prayer for deliverance for my son whom I love dearly. I ask for your prayers for the chains to be broken, deliverance from bondage for my son with a new-found love for Christ. My heart hurts so bad and it breaks my heart to see what he's going through.

My heart seems to be shattered in so many pieces. My youngest, an ex-marine, has experienced many mental depressive moments and states he doesn't believe in God. This breaks my heart because I know why he's experiencing so much mental pain. I desperately need the prayers of the righteous to lift him up in prayer. I can't imagine anyone not believing there is a God. I could go on and on, but God knows and sees all. Please, sisters and brothers, there's a battle of good and evil going on inside of him and it's going to take warriors to win this war. Thanks in advance for your prayers.

I have a son who is medically discharged from the Marines after 9.5 years of service with two tours under his belt. He is home now and has been dating a lady who I am so thankful for. He has battled severe depression and sees a VA counselor. This lady has been with him through so much and is always by his side. To make a long story short, he has been working as a car salesman and the pressure is taking a toll on him. He approached his boss and explained that the pressure was too much. His boss understood and reassigned him a different position at the dealership because he wanted to keep him. He suffers from PTSD and this added stress keeps me praying that God protect him. They have also been house hunting and moving at the same time. I love my son and his lady friend. Please pray that God come through for them with a house just for them and allow them to see His almighty power at work. It's hard seeing my son under so much stress but at the same time, I am very thankful that his lady friend is by his side. I have always taken the position of trusting and having faith in God for all things...seeing my son go through this season in his life gives me that much more strength and cause to trust God and be thankful. I know there are prayer warriors in this world and I am asking you to join me in praying for the causes I've described and redemption by His Almighty Power. Thank you sister and brothers in Christ as we believe God for a miracle..

I don't know how to begin. My youngest son who has served as a Marine for 9 years is coming home to stay, which I am very happy about. Over time I have seen symptoms of PTSD in the most heartbreaking ways and his attitude toward life and God is just a little above atheism. I hurt constantly and pray daily. Seems nothing is changing but I continue praying. I hurt for him and know that the devil is feeding off of his insecurities. He refuses to accept counseling and I can't make him. Please pray for my son and my continued faith in God. I feel like I've lost a child to death.

I have a son who was bullied very badly in high school. He joined the military and served two tours, Afghanistan and other unknown (intelligence unit). My son is fighting a spiritual battle...he posts so many negative things and thoughts, very seldom speaks positive about any thing (even himself), doesn't call his brother or ever write him or his nephew or any other relatives. I never raised him this way and I know it's more than ptsd...it's spiritual...Satan wants so much to destroy him mentally and physically. Now and then that voice will come and say, "why are you still praying. you see nothing's change". But I can't stop praying and will not stop praying. He stays depressed and will open up and talk about things. He strays out at 4 am in a town that has lots of crime. It's just so much I can't began to explain it all. I can only say God knows. I tell him time after time after time that God will not force himself only any one. It's a choice. Please pray that God will move in his own way to open my son's eyes to the truth, which is God - The Way, The TRUTH and The Life

I am such a blessed woman with great sons, great boss and a rewarding position in life. I teach and assist seniors in learning to navigate the computer and internet. This is the path God has laid out for me and I have never regretted a day of helping someone. I don't receive a normal salary, rather a stipend that helps that care of gas, food and incidentals I may need. I thank God for giving me the patience to excel in such a position. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't say "thank you" and it's amazing to see the happy expressions on so many faces wh en they learn something new. Right now as I type this, I am in a dilemma about something, but I just can't focus on the negative (which I see as exalting a problem). I'd much rather exalt God and give Him thanks for all things - good and bad. After all, whose report am I to believe: He who makes it clear that he comes to steal, kill and destroy. Or, he who says, I came that you might have life and have it more abundantly? I made my choice who to believe today. My learner today said something very special to me that meant so much. I told she and her husband that God had put them in my path and she responded "No, God put you in our path." And, the husband asked about my son serving in military and said "I went home and prayed for him!" The rewards are always more valuable when you can leave knowing a difference has been made in the life of another - whether your life or their life or both.

Have felt so empty inside lately. Haven't been to church in a while, haven't read my bible in a while, my prayers seem so empty. Really need your prayer. Thank you and God bless each of you. Just want to feel true happiness for once in my life.

I really need prayer. I have a son in the military who has had some very serious debilitating illness and deep depression. I feel so lost that I can't help him and it hurts me that he keeps running from God. I haven't heard from my son in a little while and am very concerned about him. Have checked with his friends and no one has heard from him. Please pray for my son. Thank you.

Very simple. Lift my son before the Lord as you pray. God knows, sees and feels what he is enduring. A loving mom loves her children and will reach out to others to join in prayer and that's what i am doing. Thank you so much.
