Please Pray For My Parents, And Yours.

[1Corinth2v4]

The pleasures of this world are for but a season, and Satan has presented humanity a dirt clod painted gold. My parents are both in lukewarm state, and rarely attend church.


My mother at times goes out and has a recreational drink. I spoke to her today and told her to attend church, instead she chose a sports bar.
I became irate with her a few minutes ago and told her she might kill herself, and she needs to recommit her life to God.


After I hung up with her I received a call within 20 minutes, my mother while on medications, she had consumed two alcoholic beverages. She just crashed a few minutes ago and struck 5 vehicles. Her car was totaled, her seat belt didn't even work, and her face was bloody.

It is a pure miracle of God that she's alive. They arrested her and transported her to the hospital. Today my mother is 54 years of age, and this is her first run-in with any law enforcement agency.


I ask that you pray for Veronica, that she gives her life back to God, and also my father, Ralph.



I know that I'm not well liked here, and if this petition is much for some of you, pray for your parents.


Close your eyes and envision your parents in Hell, if that doesn't give you a burden, my friend, nothing will.

I'm hoping they just cite her a release her instead of going through the booking process.

God Bless.

[1Corinth2v4]

I petitioned God and they cited her only, they didn't complete the process of booking in county jail, etc. Legal DUI is .08% BAC, she was under that percentage.

Some have said she should have been dead, God spared her life.

I want to go about this as carefully as a can. I have a parent who has struggled with addiction. I made threats, screamed Bible scriptures, and talked about Hell plenty. One thing I learned is that especially when one is dealing with a person who has an addiction (but pretty much anyone else too) condemnation is never in order. We must love one another especially our parents with the Love of Christ. That is how they are won. I have heard it said that scaring the "HELL" out of someone will only last a short time, while Loving the "Jesus" on them will last for eternity.

I have a question, if she asked youto leave church and come pick her up at the bar, would you have done it?


Praise God that she is alive!

She isn't addicted, but when she visits those sport bars, she has a drink or two.


........and to answer your question, yes, within a heart beat.


She still attends a church I was once a member of, and left for personal reasons. When she goes, I just might have to visit with her, since I'll be her ride.

:friend
Your answers make me smile (not that YOU are obligated to make me smile!) I know that it can be so frustrating to have to "be" the parent some times, but God works all things in his order.
I am glad to hear that she isn't addicted, cause that can be very messy! But it keeps one on their knees!

I left God once at a young age. God sent many people to plead my return and I would just blow them off.


I ended up with acute renal failure and hospitalized for 6 days. My kidneys were failing quick, and they were going to perform surgery to start dialysis. I still remember two ladies visiting me that I didn't know. I still remember one lady weeping as I wept. While she was weeping she stared into my eyes and said "God loves you." It was in that little room I rededicate my life to God, and on the fourth day 3 doctors came to my room and said they didn't know what happen. My kidneys were healed and they didn't understand how.


I still remember the day I was discharged. They brought me a sweater with wording that said "made for a mission." The critic would say that's coincidence, I called is divine confirmation.


The belly of a whale for me was a hospital room.


Now I can wholeheartedly say........had I not been afflicted...........

[Pro31:28]

Amen!
Love won!

1Cor2v4,

If your mom is just 54 you are a much younger man than I thought. I will be praying for your mom. I have been in a similar situation to what you are in.

My mom married my dad at age 16 (he was 26) and was married for 26 years before he was killed in a tragic accident. She was driving behind him and saw the whole thing. She was very traumatized. She was left at age 42 with a 13 year old son to raise and had been married since she was basicly a kid herself.

Although she said all of the right things to me to make me not hold anything against God she did. After a few years she stopped going to church (although she insisted I go and I wanted to).

Mom was probably out of church for 15 years or so and I prayed for her all of the time. In her case she was not drinking or somoking but never the less she was not serving God.

In Gods time (and her time) her heart became tender again and a wonderful man of God who had come to pastor a church in her area reached out to her in love and she made things right with God.

It was only a few short years after that she had this terrible stroke that has left her almost completely paralyzed, tube fed, and unable to speak. I am so glad she has the comfort of the Holy Ghost during this time of suffering and the promise of eternal life when the struggle is over.

I said all that to say I not only sympathyze with you I empathyze with you and will add your mom to my prayer list. I know it is frustrating that living for God is not something we can make our loved ones do, that we have to just pray for God to continue to work with them until they accept his calling.

God Bless

[AmazingGrace]

1Cor.... You have been around these parts for a while :) Even if you arent who I say you are you are at least a former lurker or poster... and even though people may not agree with you and may fight to high heaven with you ....The one thing you may not know but I want to make sure it is brought to your attention... No matter who agrees or not likes you or not... when it comes to prayer you can unite this group faster than anything ...we love to pray for one another... and we stick closer than family sometimes in need of prayer... you are covered Bro!

[Pro31:28]

AMEN!!!

WOW, I did not know this about you and your mother CC1.

I will remember her in prayer.

[Hoovie]

1Cor2v4, This thread has not gotten alot of mileage.

Please know I will pray that your mother come to her senses and be a better example for her family.

[Kay B]

Praying for your mother.

Praying for you and your Mom and Dad. My Mom has been gone since I was a teenager but she did leave a legacy of faith and being a prayer warrior! Brother, prayer works.

Lord I pray for his parents-- give them a sense of eternity and a fire in their hearts for you. Bless them with a longer life with health and wealth that lasts the length of their days. In Jesus Name, Amen.

[dizzyde]

I just saw this, I don't know where it was earlier, but I will definitely be praying. I am so thankful and blessed to have parents who love and serve God!
