Been going through more than I can take, asking for prayers

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

Been going through more than I can take, asking for prayers

Post by methadoneman »

I've been having serious health problems and money problems due to not being able to work, so I was going through a lot. Now my 13 year old son just attempted to kill himself 3 days ago after overdosing on benadryl. He had to go in an ambulance and spend the night in the hospital but he's ok. I just ask for anyone who can to pray for me because I am really going through hell right now.

Hang in there homie. Keep the faith. Smooth seas don't make for strong sailors. You're being tested but you'll come out the other side stronger. Hold your family close. You may be hurting now, but know that this too shall pass.

Brother,
I'm praying for you right now.
Heavenly Father you know the troubles our brother is going through and I plead on his behalf for your strength to face them with Your grace
and mercy. Father show him and place it on his heart so that he will know there is hope. We all suffer hard times but if we walk with Jesus He will lead us through them to better days. Lord I pray that he will find the work he needs and that it will provide the necessities for him and his family. Lord I lift up his son to You and ask for Your healing in this young man. Give him a calm assurance that all is not lost, that he has family that loves him and a God that wants him to live. Lord let Your Holy Spirit fall on this family and provide the hope and guidance through this time and Lord may You be glorified. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

I’ll just say amen to David’s prayer above and add “Walk by faith not by sight.” The Lord promises to never leave or forsake us. Let him guide you through this storm.

Thanks everyone. Just knowing that a stranger took the time to write me a message and to pray for me makes me feel good. The quality of people on this site are unbelievable. I was already a member but I recently started a store for some extra money with only like 3 or 4 knives in it so far. Although I could use the money I don't care if I never sell a knife. I get enough enjoyment and now prayers and caring messages that I just like being a part of this site.

methadoneman,
I too will will say amen to David's gracious prayer for you.
I might add a scripture verse that has given me comfort in times of many distresses, Romans 8:28.

Thought I had posted to this thread two or three weeks ago. I must not have hit enter.
Praying for you and your son, and your family.
