Pray my sons are covered by God protection from the enemy. Pray they have peace love a joy in the lives now. Rebuke Satan and his Host. God don't let them be plucked from your hand. Help me oh Lord.

Ruth, I will be praying for your sons as I pray for my three sons who departed from their childhood faith in Jesus in their late teens. I believe that God is at work in their lives 24/7 and that He loves them more than I ever could. If my heart's desire is for my sons to return to the Lord, think of what God's desire is for them, only He can bring the prodigals home by the working of His Holy Spirit. Only God can keep your sons in the faith. We as parents often think if we bring them up in the faith and pray for them that they will never stray and then we are surprised and grieved when they do stray. But this testing is for us as much as it is for them. We are to persevere in prayer, believing that God hears all of our prayers and will answer according to His perfect will. His will is for all men to be saved. This includes our children. And we are instructed that the faithful prayer of a believer avails much. So, I no longer grieve like I did at first 21 years ago. But my sons are still far from God in unbelief. But I have faith and hope in God and His good will. He desires to give our children and us both a hope and a future. And He is truly in control of every person's future. So I trust Him and entrust my sons to Him. They are really no longer mine, but His. I have simply been given the pleasure and task of being their mother for 3 decades. But through it all, He is the one who guides me and provides for our family.

My task now that they are adults is to live a godly and holy life in all consistency, not as a hypocrite, but as being who I really am in Christ. I have no excuse not to live this kind of life. It is my calling to do so, to avoid even the appearance of evil and not give my sons any reason to accuse me of being fake, ungodly, or hypocritical. They are watching me and listening to what I say. May my life testify to the truth of Jesus Christ and His worthiness to be worshipped and obeyed for He loves us so.

Your sons will be delivered God never lets one of his sheep girl. I am reminded of the good Shepherd who even when one of his sheep go astray God always brings them back. Just keep in mind God always brings back our loved ones in the most unusual way. When God does bring your loved ones back he looks down with a big smile.

Ruth all will be well. It is amazing how God takes us from being lost to found. I'm reminded. The good shepherd. When even one goes astray God always I didn't say maybe. God always brings them back. In the most unusual way. Stay in faith.

Thank you

Jesus fit out the children with Your Spirital, Celestial armor that will resist the devil's strikes. Give each piece after the manner You specified in Your word from mind to body, as vulnerable mankind might be, the power of the Lord shall keep them from flipping onto a bad way. Like soldiers in the church, they shall be yielding only to the guidance You have pleased to walk towards you all their days. Amen.

Please God hear Ruth's prayers for her sons. Please protect from the deceptions of the devil and the worldly behaviors that are tempting to them. Please Holy Spirit guide them to having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ continually and enrich them with Your spiritual gifts I pray in the name of Jesus Christ
