I am a single mom with 2 teens. My son is becoming verbally abusive to my daughter. They both are easily angered. My son does not want to serve the Lord. I hold fast to God's promise that if you train up a child in the way he should go, then when he is old he will not depart from it. In the meantime, my daughter is spoken to terribly by him when I am at work. I have told him he will need to move out when he was treating me badlly. I hope I don't have to put him out in order to gain peace. The devil has stolen too much already. Stand with me in prayer that my son's heart will be changed and he will no longer utter anything unwholesome. He has only one friend, and this boy lost his father 3 yrs ago, disrespects his mother and desires drugs and crime. Thank you for your prayers

Father God,
We thank You for being God. We praise You for the children that You have allowed us to birth and raise for You. Your word says whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven. Right now we bind up the rebellious spirt and obscene language use of Sandy's son. We bind up his disrespect for his sister and mother. We loose peace, joy, love and respect in Sandy's home for all the family. We speak now in the power of the blood of Jesus that Sandy's son will only say words that are kind and loving to his sister and mother. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Though I am only a teenager myself my family has been going through alot of stuff over the years that may have been similiar, and I can some how feel for you because I too have been affected. I pray that God destroys the devils influence on your son and your family.
AMEN

Thank you for your prayers. Already, this same day, he has appologized to his sister. May he continue on a Godly path. No one today had yet spoken to him of his bad behaviour, except God alone! I am grateful to you, Lord!

Hi Sandy - I will pray for your son and family. When I awaken feeling so relieved to be redeemed I'm motivated to pray for the same blessing for others. I understand how difficult it must be to see your child going in the wrong direction but, we know how God pursues lost sheep. I will pray for your son's rescue and that it will be a tremendous source of inspiration for him, prompting him to remain a faithful servant of the Lord for the entirety of his life.

Sister,
I understand!! I have two teens and one adult. It is challenging raising kids during these evil days. But I thank God for Jesus. I am so happy that your son is now talking better to his sister. I will continue to lift up your family.
