Dear Addie,
I will pray for Nathan all day today. I understand. My dear sweet brother has just finished one year of rehab. He is out in the world and facing those decisions for the first time this week. I think that the most beautiful people I know are the ones who have experienced the bottom of the pit and have experienced grace in a way that changes everything.
Much love.

OK shall pray for him, but it would really be much more effective if he could be motivated to do some meditation and soul-searching himself. Quiet moments for reflection and prayers can be very powerful. Perhaps you could get hold of some really good reading materials on self-development, psychology, mind-development, success stories, celebrity autobiographies, etc and leave them around, for him to browse. Youths nowadays don't listen to parents so the less we nag, instruct or remind them, the better will be the relationship. Forgiveness, hope, patience and love go a long way.
Bless you and believe that miracles do happen even in this day and age!

I absolutely will pray for your situation and for your son. But keep in mind that we all have a path to walk in life, and that includes making mistakes, sometimes very costly ones. How else can we learn, evolve and grow if we don't make any mistakes to learn from? Even when we make the wrong the choices, that's how we learn. It's hard and painful, but life is hard and painful. Pray he gets through it, comes out of it a better person, and moves in a positive, spiritual direction thereafter. Some people move through life going one step forward and two steps back. It's hard to watch when it is your child. But it is necessary and it is a part of life. Be there for when he needs you, and keep sending those prayers up. God will look out for Nathan. God bless.

Whether Nathan gets straight, safe, and sober, is up to Nathan. Not you, and not God, and the pryaers of all the well-meaning people in the world will make no difference.
God gave Nathan control over his own life, to make his own choices as an adult. You can do NOTHING about that.
Been there, done that, with my own boy. You have NO CONTROL over Nathan's choices at all. Your only choice is whether, if the worst befalls, that he won't take and the rest of your family down with him.
I know I sound harsh, but I want to help you in a practical and Christian way. PLEASE get to Al-Anon, or similar groups that help co-dependent people.

I will pray for you, mom, to be a support without being the fixer and for Nathan to find his way to a healthy life.

I am praying for Nathan and for you right now. I am praying that God's will be done in both your lives and tears are welling in my eyes. God is here.
I call upon the angels as God promises we can and I pray you keep yourself safe and give Nathan over to them. He is your son but you are God's daughter.
I pray you seek good counsel to help you with the pain and that wisdom will come for the challenges. Let there be light. In the light there can be no darkness.
I am praying for your strength. You can handle this because what is in us is greater than anything in the world. I claim God's promise for you that all evil will be made to work for His good if we just trust.
I am sending you love knowing you can handle this. Christ is with you and so am I.

Even as a mother, I cannot imagine the hurt you must be experiencing. I can, however, epathize with some of the feelings. I had to watch my dad struggle with heroine. Although at the time i was just barely a teenager; I still saw first hand the damage drug abuse can do.
I will pray for God to grant you the strength to heal and I will pray some more for God to grant your son the wisdom to believe that he deserves a healthy and happy life and the strength to get one.
May god be with you...and your son..

he has to be willing to change, and if he continues holding on to ties he will not be able to let go. this is when you should step in, such as checking him into rehab, sending him away, maybe the military or navy. some people need a very large change in their lives to show them another direction. i've seen many people hit bottom, and they always need someone to help them up.
