My son Cody is in dire straits at present.His wife left him along with three babies ages 5, 3 and 1.Sunday about midnight she called him and wanted him to come to the place where she was staying so that they could talk.The door was to be opened and he was told not to wake the people up.I begged him not to go and tried to tell him that she was up to something, but he wouldn't listen.He went into the house but she was not there. As he was walking out the man that lives there awoke.And saw him as he was leaving.He called my house the next day and said that he had called the police on Cody.My son now sets and crys, he wants to die and is drowning himself in alcohol.We haven't heard a thing from the police about this incident and continue to pray that we do not.I imposed on some of your questions by asking for pray, I hope this was not an offence but I believe in pray and wanted to get the word out.Emailed many of you.I want to thank all of you for your prayers and ask that you continue to.

The powers of hell are against the children of God. Satan wants to destroy God's people and rob us of our peace.
The enemy come to steal, kill and detroy. The enemy has come against your son and your peace of mind.
I will cointinue to pray for Cody. I could only imagine the load he is under spiritualy. I would hope if I was in this situation someone would pray for me.
He is fortunate to have a father that is spiritual. Sometime when we are being tried, it is good to have someone stand in the gap for us and to lift us up in prayer.
I'll pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will cause this situation to come under control. And that he'll move upon you son, Cody.
I know you know. But remember to plead the blood of Jesus over this situation. Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.

You know why, because they are the enemy. Anyone who is against the word of GOD, needs prayer them self. The world has many lost souls and we all need to take the time and pray for them all. Pray for our enemy's the Lord says. As for you and your son, we all know he is need of help. How much help is he willing to accept? Right now he is in the self pity stage. He is grown and all we can do is lead him back to the Lord and pray for that he will accept the Lord and let him lead. Sometimes there is a point that we have to hit rock bottom in order to bounce back. If he knows the word of GOD like you do, then I truly believe that he will come around and have Faith again and continue on with his life the right way. Addictions and alcoholism is a hard and a struggle, but anyone can over come anything through Christ himself! Keep your son close to your heart and never give up. For that is what the enemy wants. I will continue to pray for son and that he endures.....Strength, Courage, Self-Esteem and Wisdom!

It is a fact that the Lord is good know matter what the world says. Seeing that Cody is having such a time with opposition. Proves that Satan whats to sift him like wheat...yet your prayers will protect and direct him through the love of our Master Jesus. The Christians have a great problem you see if Satan can not get you he cheats by attacking your children,often they are the weaker of the fold. He thinks we have fear,but God is a stronghold that never gives up.....he made us promises regarding our children in Isaiah 54:9-17. Read. Even if the world be shaken Gods unfailing love for you will not be shakened.

Of course, we will continue to pray. They can delete questions and answers, but they can't stop our prayers. I just sent you an email inquiring about your son. I too believe in prayer and will continue praying until you give us the good news about Cody. God bless you and your family.

don, my son & I will be praying for you & your family.....Can you influence your son to go to a 72 hour detox? I know its hard but I have done it myself....I had a 25 year meth habit! I remember that the first step for me was to get help with my own problems...I know if your son can get clean & seek God, God will turn this whole thing around for His glory & for your sons good....Its so hard to be in that situation but understanding that he cannot even help those children without being in a right place himself.....sometimes helps us to do the things we need to do in order for other things to fall into place...... Put on your armor, Don & get ask God what specific scriptures you need to be praying over him.....stand on the Word of God, it will not come back void....God Bless!

The violation may stop a prayer request, but no one can stop the prayers! Your heart is in the right place Don. God knows your needs and your son's and his family's needs. Stay strong brother! Help is on the way! Have your way Jesus!

Bless the Lord.......there are ways to circumvent the powers that be. The double standard all over this nation is something else. May the Lord bless this little family with help and healing.

I would be glad to pray for your son and his family; if I were you I would encourage him to contact a lawyer and begin steps to protect his rights. I am not sure what is going on between him and his wife but he should probably focus on making sure he has legal access to his children. I would also encourage helping him to find a counselor so that he can find more positive ways to cope with his depression. Depression can be devastating for the sufferer and their family; he needs knowledgeable help. Good luck in your situation.

Would someone report an urgent news-flash on the bottom of the TV screen,while watching a favorite broadcast?
We will continue to pray for your family's situation,Don...you do have friends,here on R&S.

I will , also tell him that those kids need him, he's their rock. He needs to put the booze down. Not worry about the situation. That guy would have called already on him. I always tell people to guard their heart. She left him. He needs to stand his ground. She needs to run back to him, not him to her.
GOD BLESS
