I've tried to lean towards God for comfort, but to be perfectly honest, comfort doesn't always come. I know He's here for me, but don't always feel His presence.

I try to remember that God knows what it is like to have children (us) and have them disappoint or live through difficult circumstances.

No one can ever say, "I know what you're going through." Because no one ever really does. Except God. I have a child who is not walking with the Lord, going her own way and it breaks my heart. But I continue to pray and I know that it breaks God's even more. Thanks for stopping by and visiting. I'll keep you and yours in my prayers.Mary Dolan Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739724561596823855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-50620241891653006762014-10-16T16:48:16.475-07:002014-10-16T16:48:16.475-07:00It is difficult to place our children on the alter...It is difficult to place our children on the alter and tell God, I give up, here he is, send your Holy Spirit to get his attention and melt and mold the hostility and anger that he is feeling into a small ball of a teachable spirit. May God send others from the harvest field to touch his life, because as a mother - - it is often difficult for a child to listen to her. Mother please realize and understand that God is your comfort and your peace.

It is somewhat encouraging to know that I'm not alone in this and that it is a normal response. I appreciate you trying to find the directions for me.

Unfortunately, I'm still seeing a doctor for some of the issues I was hoping that the surgery would take care of.

I had my account hacked. If you use the cell phone method, you can usually unfreeze it. I will have to look for the directions.

We both know that the Lord loves him even more than you do, and that the Lord desires for him to find a relationship with Him. We will pray for this, and for him to begin to make good choices in his life.<br /><br />I will also pray for you, as I know how much you're suffering over this. May God comfort you and make His presence especially known to you.<br /><br />GOD BLESS.<br /><br />(I trust that your surgery went well last week...)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.com
