A Prayer for Parents of Troubled Teens
by John LeeGoogle+ Twitter Facebook
Letting go, doing all that you can and nothing more; this is a trial for any parent watching a teen abuse drugs. Pray for understanding, for grace and for healing.
LORD, SOMETIMES I DON’T KNOW WHERE MY JOB AS A PARENT ENDS AND YOUR HEAVENLY GIFT AS SAVIOR BEGINS. GRANT ME UNDERSTANDING, SO THAT I MAY DO ALL THAT I CAN, AND NOTHING MORE.
LORD, KEEP MY FAITH BURNING BRIGHT. I BELIEVE IN YOU AND I BELIEVE IN YOUR POWER AND LOVE, BUT SOMETIMES I AM TEMPTED TO ACT IN YOUR STEAD. I HURT SO MUCH WATCHING MY SON DESTROY HIMSELF. GRANT ME FAITH, SO THAT I MAY RECEIVE YOUR GRACE AND ACT AS YOUR INSTRUMENT OF LOVE.
LORD, SAVE ME FROM DESPAIR. I GET OVERWHELMED SOMETIMES. MY WIFE AND MY KIDS NEED ATTENTION, LOVE AND SUPPORT, AND SO DO I. GRANT ME CLARITY SO THAT I MAY SERVE MY FAMILY, EVEN IN THIS DARK HOUR.
LORD, SHOW ME THE PATH I MUST WALK. SHOW ME WHAT GOOD WORKS I CAN DO TO SERVE YOU. I NEED YOUR GUIDANCE, AND ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I FEEL RAGE, LORD, TRANSFORM MY ANGER INTO LOVE, AND USE ME AS AN INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PURPOSE.
LORD, LET MY SON FEEL YOUR LOVE. I BELIEVE THAT ONLY YOU CAN HEAL HIS WOUNDS. HE IS TROUBLED, HE HARMS HIMSELF, PLEASE; BRING HIM HOME.
AMEN

May 21 CHP 121 v 7 v 8 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS
The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go ,
NOW AND FOREVER .
(GODS BIG BOOK)
STEP 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
GOD ( higher power ) The one and only who cares about your life.
Creator of Heaven and earth and everything else in universe including you.
Loves YOU so much GOD refers to you , My son or daughter .
Wrote a two thousand page plus instruction book on how to survive life on earth.
Sent HIS only Heavenly Son Jesus Christ to earth born like us to teach us how to love GOD and people .He lived and innocent life and was murdered on a wooden CROSS for us all , so sin (addiction) will no longer have power over us. He had to die so we could be forgiven for the wrong we have done and so His unseen spirit (Holy Spirit) could be sent to help us live life. If you Believe , invite , and accept Him as your Higher power (JESUS CHRIST ) His unseen spirit will enter your heart and destroy the chains of addiction that hold you hostage. Over time through the help of that spirit you will learn how to feel again !
GODS BIG BOOK ( Tyndale's life recovery Bible NLT) will become a part of your daily living as will prayer. As time progresses your heart eventually will be filled with a PEACE that transcends all understanding and in the hard moments that will come you will have an overwhelming joy that will carry you through .
Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
for out of it are the issues of life. (GODS BIG BOOK)

One Can Always Hope
Bio-med-backed drug could end addiction
 It's pretty exciting when 30-plus years of medical research pays off. Dr. Nicholas Goeders has been in the lab since 1985, singularly focused on his masterpiece. It's a drug, potent and marketable, with the potential to curb an American epidemic. His intended patients? Addicted brains. That LSU-based research yielded Embera, and in three to five years it could come to market. Goeders and his financial backers at Biomedical Research Foundation of Northwest Louisiana are confident their product will help battle substance addiction. In '93 there were 3 groups of rats. |
