Hi Pepper,
I have been reading some of the posts recently but not as much as I usually do,due to several things going on here.
I read and can feel that you are having continuing problems with your son and I want you to know that I am thinking about you,your family and saying prayers for you. I wish I had some cure all answers for you.I do not and it burdens me.
I want you to know that I care,am very concerned and that I have said prayers for you and your precious son.I do not know your religoius affiliation and I do not intend to offend if my method of prayer is not of your faith.I offer it with sincerety and of my belief in a higher power who can and will help.I pray today.....
"Dear Heavenly Father, We come before You with a heavy heart for the trials that have come into the life of this fine young man and the mother and family that loves him in a way that only You truly understand as You love us,Your children even more than we are capable of loving our own.We have often grieved,disappointed,hurt and betrayed you, yet you have loved us,forgiven us and continued to stay close by us.You understand and we ask You to please sustain Pepper and grant her patience,understanding,hope and grace that comes from a perfect source.You,Father.
As a mother I can feel her fears,pain and frustration of dealing with a defiant and confused child.I know the agony and the anger that as a human being comes with loving and raising a son who has heart and soul deep struggles that have turned into confusion,frustration,and displays of behavior that is so hard to accept and understand.I ask You to bestow peace and comfort within this boys heart,life and mind.Help him to find words to express what ever the pain is that so moves him.Influences him to act out.It is his way of crying out without proper words.
Jesus,please comfort Pepper,see her as You saw Your own mother and reach out to her,wrapping Your arms of comfort around her,reassuring her that You will be close by her and help her to find the wisdom,patience and understanding that is so needed at this difficult time.
If this is something that You have allowed to come into their lives to bring forth value and ministry that only You know about,then please be with them and hold them steadfast through the learning and wisdom process.We do not know or understand all things,but You do and we step out on faith trusting that all things will be made glorious,worthwhile and good,in order to glorify You.We are placed here on this earth for that reason.To glorify You.
Thank You for this wonderful,caring,wise and dedicated woman.She is a blessing in sooooo many lives.Mine being one of them.Bestow Your greatest of blessings upon her and her family,I humbly ask today." Amen
