Dear Jrabs,

Your son will be included in my rosary tonite. I know what you are going through and it is heartbreaking as a mother. I will also pray for you and ask Our Lady to comfort you and your son.

God bless you.

Praying, praying, praying…

My son is doing poorly in his new school. Has not met a soul. Told his grandma that he is a loser and it just makes me so sad.

Please pray for my son, his self esteem and that he find a nice friend.

( sports are not the key to this child - he is on a diving team and was recently picked to train with the high school students…he is in 6th grade. That is an honor - yet he refuses because of his self esteem.)
 
Lord have mercy on this young boy and heal him of his stress and fear . Lord bring loving , caring Catholic or Christian Christ centered friends into his life . LORD BRING THESE friends NOW AND LET HIS HEART BE RECEPTIVE TO THEM . THANK YOU LORD , IN THE NAME OF JESUS , AMEN . JOHN
 
I offer this prayer for your son jrabs to his guardian angel. I will rm’r him when I say it with my own daughter this evening.

Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love, commits me here
Ever this day be at my side to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.

Guardian Angel, watch over this young man, protect his heart, his eyes and his mind. Jesus, you have given this young man a wonderful mother to watch over him. I pray for them that in this stretching out for his sake that greater bond will be formed between them. We ask that you keep him in his innocence b/c I think we will need him in our future. Bless him and his mother. I ask this week be especially good for him at school.

Amen.

My 16 y.o. son is reserved and doesn’t respond clearly to questions, he mumbles. I have to insist on him being courteous when he is addressed. Explaining to him that mumbling is rude puts a different light on it for him. He has a good heart but is self conscience. Talking about it with him makes him more conscience of others feelings and less about himself. I took him to a sponsered birthday party Sat. and he had a great time. He is and will come out of his shell as he matures. We live in the deep country and his only local friend just moved away. Friends here are hard to come by and my son is begging me for his drivers license, but we have very dangerous roads. I was in a fatal wreck 2 miles from my house a couple of years ago, so I’m very hesitate. Its partially a phase is what I’m trying to say. Push your son to be involved in the diving teams training, this will do wonders to his self esteem. Explain the courtesy in his response to such an offer. He may be old enough to understand. I will pray for him as well. Tim

jrabs, I too, would like to pray for your son. When Jews pray for a specific nonJew we need to have their given name(s) and the father’s last name.

His father is gone, vanished -disappeared. But my son is Jordan. Thanks for your prayers.
 
Yes, it seems that many times, pain brings us together, closer to those who love us and to those whom we love so very much, like our sons. Though I’m a new member, the sound of pain is not. I’ve gone through similar situations with my son who is now 16 yrs. of age. We do have peaceful moments and then something triggers his past and we seem to take a step back. However now, as we speak with each other in the evenings, he tells me how some of those moments seemed like the only panorama he would live up to. I used to ask him what he would recommend a younger brother or sister, if he had one, if they were going through this. His answers, probably his guardian angel’s answers helped him.
May God give you the Wisdom and Spiritual direction to continue to guide your son and may he encounter uplifting situations at school such that he regains peace and confidence. God Bless.
 
Thanks all, for your prayers and responses.
I will also keep your personal intentions in prayer.

Funny how at certain times each and every one of us will need prayer requests - we rely upon the good nature of others to pray to God and deliver us from our trials.

Let’s continue to pray for each other - we may not be in need of particular prayers today, but who knows what tomorrow brings.

Beautiful. Thanks. He is very spiritual and we often talk of our guardian angels. I will bring this up again tonight as we head to diving.
 
**I too have a son with emotional problems and ADHD. He has never been able to make friends easily… He doesn’t even remember the names of kids in his class. I will pray that God reach out and give your son the best “BEST FRIEND” ever!! God can heal all things…

Now, from the R.N. side, I’m not sure which medications your son is taking… but many of the drugs like Adderal, Ritalin, etc… can cause extreme stomach aches that intensify when the child is nervous. Check with your peditrician or which ever doctor prescribed the medication… **
Father, heal this little one of his fears, grant him peace in this school year and each year to come. Allow him to have perfect faith that his mother will never leave him. We know that you did not intend for even the least of us to suffer… I pray for your will to be done Father… In Jesus name I pray… AMEN
 
Dear Pyropam,

I completely understand you and the other posts. I will include everyone’s intentions in my rosary tonite.

God bless us and help us in the name of the Most Immaculate Heart of Mary and Jesus!

I will continue to pray for Jordan. God Bless him, and you. Bi-polar, anxiety, etc are a very harrowing circumstance for a parent. It sounds like your closeness is wonderful, and you are doing everything you can, and doing it right. Please take care of yourself. Your work with him is so necessary, but so hard. Get a marathon runner’s stride, and remember to also acknowledge your own needs, and give yourself some R&R. Remember you have to be just as strong, and fresh and present for him when he is older as you are for him now.

His medicine may be fine right now, or it might need adjustment, but it is hard to tell. These drugs work in ways that the doctors don’t completely understand. Sometimes one family of drugs has a neutral or undesirable effect, and another is very effective. Sometimes the drugs can stay the same but the dosage is altered and the effect is significant. Always ask, don’t assume the doctors are always right. Nobody knows Jordan as well as you. Keep looking for support. The National Alliance for Mental Illness - search “nami” - has incredible support forums for families. There is a “faith nami” site as well. Keep holding on. God Bless you.
 
i am so sorry. i will pray for your son and you. May the Lord bring your household peace. :crossrc:

Jrabs,

Praying for you and your son!

God bless you and heal you.

Sweet Jesus, we come to You to honor Your holy name and to give you praise and thanks. We also ask you to heal this young man of body and spirit. You have said: knock and it shall be answered, ask you shall receive. Well, that’s exactly what all of us are doing here and we beg for your mercy. Thank You, dear Sweet Jesus. Amen.

The sentence in red made smacks me hard. That describes my OTHER son - severe ADHD. Can’t even remember his cousins names (which he sees often enough).

I have 2 nieces and 1 nephew and my son refers to them as “that boy and his sisters”. My son is 14 by the way…

Another funny incident - my oldest used to make up names for his classmate since he simply could not remember the real names.
He used to call one boy John. I asked if that was his real name - he told me no but it’s what we called the boy for a few years.

Thanks again for your prayers. I can tell the power of God is working and He is awesome. Praise God.
 
Father, we pray to you with sincereity and all confidence in knowing that if more than one asks for Your help, You will grant it. So today we ask that You lift up jrabs’ son, by helping him to accept the offer of being on this swim team, that he will hear this calling from You, and that he realizes this is his way to serve You with the “gift” you have given him. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen Father. :signofcross:
