He turns 16 next month and struggles with anxiety, confidence, self-worth and I'm pretty sure depression as well. (Depression & anxiety run in my family.) He just weighs on my heart. We just have to remember that God is in control and to give our boys over to Him through prayer and faith!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064097529819037135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804038706957774879.post-68471580060086216752010-11-08T11:28:40.264-05:002010-11-08T11:28:40.264-05:00without ceasing Sheryl!

Trusting that as he sees his mother's heart for the Lord, he too, would fall in love with Jesus with an unabandoned faith. "There is no fear in love." 1 John 4:18 <br /><br />And so glad that you were able to join a Bible study. I pray it is going well and God is filling your heart with His riches, encouragement and peace. Also, love the song you post a couple days ago! <br /><br />Blessings,<br />StacyStacy@hiswaynotminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860455863650090143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804038706957774879.post-72569089661910044332010-10-07T14:31:10.347-04:002010-10-07T14:31:10.347-04:00Dear Sheryl.....As a mom of a son my heart was tou...Dear Sheryl.....As a mom of a son my heart was touched so deeply by your words here.<br /><br />I've prayed Ephesians 3:14-20 over my children in their formative years and was just this morning in prayer reminded to begin praying/confessing it over them diligently again. I love this scripture in the MSG translation....<br /><br />"My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you (David) by his Spirit, not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength-that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth (David)! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. God can do anything, you know (David) - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.<br /><br />Praying this over David this day as I pray over my Chris, Laraine, Katie and Bryan!!<br /><br />HE IS FAITHFUL!!<br /><br />Love and Hugs! : ))<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471225291665810800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804038706957774879.post-10274197977346568132010-10-04T20:56:26.223-04:002010-10-04T20:56:26.223-04:00I just know God has wonderful things in store for ...I just know God has wonderful things in store for your handsome son.

I doubt that there is a mother anywhere who has not bent her knees and heart during the raising of our own kids. This post brought tears, and memories. And I am so glad you posted the picture. I stand with you in believing that God will sort through David's thoughts and make his heart strong in the days ahead. Sometimes there is nothing to do but pray, and that turns out to be the very best thing we can do.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Sonjahttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804038706957774879.post-20354391030945402222010-10-01T16:26:32.561-04:002010-10-01T16:26:32.561-04:00Stopped to say a prayer for your David.
