Please pray for me, my 18 year old and my terminally ill ex-husband.

Thank you for Bible.is site and the support for prayer. I need prayer for my 18 year old who is very lost and currently choosing to stay homeless. Drugs and alcohol are masking his deep rooted pain, for he has told me he doesn't feel OK without them but refuses at this time to seek treatment or help. He accepted the Lord when he was 3, then at 9 and 15 but is not practicing. He did have a dream he was attacked by a demon even rebuking the demon in his dream aloud by saying in his sleep..."I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." This shows me that God is trying to get his attention, but because of the extreme behavior I am forced to not allow him to live with me. I also need prayer because in 30 days I have to have secured a place and be moved out because my landlord has asked me to move due to the behavior of my son, and the police having been here several times. I do not have a car or license, and I am packing and repairing the damage each day, but have a ways to go. At nearly 51 moving is much harder, and I need people to volunteer to help with the actual day when it comes. My ex-husband has end stage renal failure and cirrhosis of the liver and is in need of prayer for a better place to live and direction in his life in the event of his death, he is from Virginia and his family wants him there, but he refuses because he doesn't want to be a burden. He feels he hasn't been there in life, so why should he allow them to know him and miss him when he dies. I have been burdened to care for him but cannot as he wants more than a platonic relationship, and our past though forgiven has left me with much mistrust. Thank you for all your support, and may God bless each one of you.

Michelle, sounds like you're in a really sticky situation yet I am encouraged to hear that you are still seeking God for comfort in all of this. In a life of so much change, God is our security and rock that will always be there for us. I will be praying for strength for you and that your son might come to know Jesus again and change his behaviour in a way that represents Christ.

God's Blessings,

Chris

Michele My impression of your son is that he may well have Bipolar disorder. There is great treatment for that these days You may have to commit him to a psychiatric hospital - and that is not as bad as it seems. I have been to one here twice. I did not want to go either. As he cannot help himself you may need help from someone in addition to yourself. Don't let him back out. A hospital will only keep him until he is stabilized. And they usually have counseling there too. It is not like the movies. Ask around to find the best psychiatrist and psychologist in your area. A good psychiatrist will only do medication and leave the majority of therapy up to the psychologist. A psychiatrist will know of a good psychologist and vice versa. My heart and my head go out to you. I pray for your son's health and Jesus to send you help and strength. For your husband. Is he in a church? Talk with a good doctor(s) about all of this. I think your son has a chemical imbalance. Maybe if your landlord knows that your son is getting help or is in a hospital he may not make you move right now. .? Get help! Ask, there is no shame in that. Be cautious but not scared. The Lord keep you and shine his light on you and guide you. One step at a time. Pray, pray, pray and don't stop. It sounds like you are exhausted and I think it would be good for you to go to counseling. Get in a good helpful non judgemental church. Can some people at church help you?
