My needs our angels protection now, please pray

We know the power of prayer. The last 24 hours have been a whirl wind for me.

Let me explain....My left yesterday with his friends...ended his evening with people he did not know. Handcuffs on his hands, by police and a call to his father. Need I say more. I have been devastated by this for the last 24 hours. My and I talked tonight and it seems it was a product of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. He is almost 18. He was set free with many impressionable thoughts...need I say more.

I recall as a of his age a time period where I was in a vehicle that took me to a place called the pits. MMM the bird sanctuary. I said, the train held me up. Dad said, there hasn't been a train go through in these parts in years and I went to bed. My dad was a loving father. Never happened again. It was a place that dune buggies would and could legally race. It was a fun place. Bad stuff sometimes happened there too. Such as the beaches in Clearwater. I only went there once when I was 17. I recall it not being a good place to be. My now agrees that being on the beach late at night is not a good place to be. I never went there again, I hope he doesn't either. Please keep my in prayer that his lesson last night will leave a lasting impression of right and wrong.

After hearing his testimony of the evening, I truly believe he was truly at the wrong place at the wrong time. Changes of events, friends going different directions and being in a crowd of peers he did not know. This was a first occurrence and one of those first experiences into the dark side that doesn't need repeating. He was remorseful and full of hugs and respect when I saw him tonight after I got off of a 11 1/2 hour shift. I do think he will think next time. He does have a phone. I advised him next time to leave the scene and then call. do have to learn. Perhaps this was his wake up call? I think the hand cuffs scared him.

Many prayers of protection. He knows it would crush me if there were a repeat.

Sheri,
Praying for him, his gaining wisdom that sticks for a lifetime, and also praying for you. Being a mom in this day and time is hard and sometimes the only thing we can do is to pray a hedge of guardian angels around our young adult children. The peer pressure and not wanting to be seen as too different is a huge influencer at this age. My heart goes out to you, been in similar circumstances, with the emotional intensity that goes with things like this. I always let my troubled daughter know that I was praying for her protection and praying she would resist temptations and choose what was right in the sight of God. God truly indeed was awesome and protected her through some really rough times and bad choices. Tears and much time spent in prayer can be powerful for our children.
Heavenly father, most Holy and ever present and powerful for all our needs, I come to you to pray for Sheri and her son. Dear God, Sheri needs a Holy hug from you just now. In this time of turmoil and worry for her, just give her a peace that you are indeed in control and everything has a purpose and serves a purpose in our lives. Put the Words From You into Sheri's mouth so that her son can and will hear from you dear God. I pray God, you will prick the conscience of this young man and cause him to feel true conviction when temptations come and he is trying to make a choice. Convict him to make a Godly choice of obedience to You and not listen to the world or the carnal nature within. I pray your Holy hedge of protection surround this young man with guardian angels. We love you Lord and are so thankful you are ever present for us to come to in prayer no matter the time or the circumstance. Pour your Blessings on Sheri and let her son see Jesus in her life and stir his heart to be obedient to you alone dear God. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen.

I am praying for your precious son too Sheri! I remember my son's teenage years. I do believe he had a guardian angel that helped him or he would not be alive today! Love you sister!

May God Bless You in ABUNDANCE

Im praying....He will be okay. I know the feeling he has...If handcuffs make him uncofortable he'll think twice next time, trust me.
I know everyone is supposed to feel uncomfortable with cuffs but my point is....I know many guys including my brother and nephew who tell me.."I know how to do time Uncle Al"...handcuffs are routine! Keep him busy without him knowing what your doing....Refrain from too many lectures...It can chase him away...It did me when I was fifteen...He'll be okay...The main reason is he has a mother that cares and is armed with true faith. Deep down inside he knows this and it makes him feel good! Also being silent at times will say volumes and he will feel that. The best part of all is he didnt start this stuff at age twelve like a lot of us.....GBY



‘HE will rule them with an iron scepter.’... He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.... On HIS robe and on HIS thigh HE has this name written:... KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

Your last line says much, Seeems that he has a good heart. As much as we try, we can't always shield those that we love from being hurt. I am thankful that it was not worse than you described it.

Thanks for sharing; I will definitely pray. You can tell from your writing that you share a strong bond and have been a positive influence in his life; that is not easily forgotten and is what will pull him back in line after straying for a moment. I think he already realizes the discomfort and consequences of being with the wrong crowd are much less desirable than the comfort of his family.

    Quoting  :

Hello, thank you for your reply. Especially about the reminder that our children are gifts from God and our children are not really our children but Gods. We are only the providers, instructors and caretakers for them. I had heard this years ago, but forgotten it. He is doing well, taking honors classes and it seems to be just what it was "being at the wrong place at the wrong time." I am certain that his lesson was learned as he has shown great respect and remorse for letting the family down. Thanks for your continued prayers for the children.

Sheri
