I am so desperately worried for my youngest son.He is in a lot of trouble and will be facing court proceedings in July,he may well be facing a custodial sentence. He has two young children one of 9months and the other of 2yrs.He and the mother of the children broke up earlier this year.He has gotten drunk and gotten into fights.He has been arrested and been to court previously.Currently he is on probation for his last offence.We have tried so hard to help him and constantly pick up the peices to get his life back on track.He has attidue and anger issues and alcohol makes him awful.He began drinking alcohol because he suffers terribly with anxiety/panic attacks and it “helped him relax”!This last episode we let him come home again to live, as lterally he has nowhere to go. I have prayed for so long that he would not go to prison but now I fear for his safety and maybe prison might be safest option for him. I am worried sick he will end up dead or in prison.He came back only on Friday on strict rules of no alcohol whatsoever and no going out anywhere.That lasted two days.There was another upsetting session this evening where my son disobeyed me and went out to get involved in a neighbour who was arguing with his partner…I specifically told him not to get involved particularly as he is already in serious trouble with the police.He was rude and disrespectful to me and confrontational with my husband.In the end he left saying this is the last time you will see me…took a bag of clothes and left. I am very upset as I write this and would really appreciate any prayers for my son to keep him safe and for God to guide him to the right path and that he will open his heart and mind to Gods will.

Thankyou and God bless each of you

Lord please hear my prayers for my son.Lord I no not what to ask for any longer except please keep him safe and guide him.You know my greatest fears Lord and I ask You would place Your healing hand upon this entire situation to bring my son safely through this part of his life to reach maturity safely and be a mature and responsible adult and father to his children.I pray You will keep him safe from harm Lord.He is making poor choices continually please guide him to open his heart and mind to Your will.Lord I place all my trust in You. Thankyou Lord for always heairng and answering my prayers.Amen

I am praying for your son, and while I recognize that I am a bit younger than you and not a parent I do have a suggestion…the best thing you can do for your son is to let him know that you love and care about him. That does NOT require that you give him a home if he is confrontational or disrespectful or causing unnecessary problems. There is so much empowering you can do and providing asylum to a man with an addiction (son or not) is probably enabling at this point. Yes you barred him from drinking or leaving the home where he may find a drink but it is clear two days into withdrawal he was beyond your help. He probably left to drink…and may come back…I am praying both for your son and also for you that the most Blessed Mother may show you the way toward discerning your role in his life. All the best to you!

and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you

and give you peace.” Num 6:24-26
