Bible Question:
I worry a lot, and need peace for me, and my husband. we worry about our son, doing so much wrong. where in the bible can i find answers,for our situation? |
Bible Answer: Sister48, I know how hard it is to pray, then release my fears and worries to God. I've found Matt 6:25-34 to be extremely helpful in times of stress. Another passage the Lord laid on my heart earlier this year was Psalm 4. Please remember that your fear and concern is from Satan and not God. Your worries are telling God that He cannot handle the situation. Pray, then release your issues over to the Lord. For it says in Romans 5:1-5 that through faith we have peace. Remember also that now your son is solely responsible for his decisions. You must answer to the Lord for how you and your husband trained him, but he's no longer a child. I'm having to learn tough love in one of my close relationships and it is very hard, but it must be done. Your son will earn whatever comes his way based on his actions. However, God's mercy is great. Remember the promises given by God in Psalm 33:18-22. In His time, your son will turn toward the Lord. Worrying will not speed the process along, but instead will distance you from God. Another point, whenever possible, pray for your son as he will be, not as he currently is. Your son is lost, but he won't be forever, so praise God for the day when your son turns to the saving power of Jesus. Lift up the Lord's name in worship for all that He has blessed your son with, a sound mind, a strong body, a perfect purpose that will be fulfilled through the power of the Holy Spirit. Encourage the Spirit to move on your son, to work in his heart in whatever way it may take to open your son's spiritual eyes to heaven. Pray the Word over your son's life, rejoicing in the fact that he will be a prodigal son. Know that the current trials, though perhaps of the Devil, are working toward the good of God's plan. You are doing the right thing by praying with your husband. Now do the right thing and release your sin of fear and worry to the cleansing of Jesus' blood. In Christ, Estelle |
