    It's been 21 years since we last saw our oldest son (he's now 44yrs old). My husband passed away in March 2021 without seeing our son's return to us, or to The Lord. I know he'll be returning, as God has promised. I pray 🙏 I'm alive to see his return.

      We have a son ourselves and it would also break our hearts if he left us. Dear Father God bring all the prodigal back to You and their parents in the mighty name of King Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen 🙏

      This message really encouraged me. Since 2017 I have not been able to see my granddaughters. My first granddaughter I helped Reyes and she lived with me her first four years we were unable. And now due to the injustice of the court system due to the lies and manipulation of my ex daughter-in-law, which we did was love her. It was ordered that we were prohibited not to have any type of contact with my grandchildren. We never had a chance to defend ourselves or to say anything. No one ever asked us any questions. My son is so bitter towards God I can hear it in his voice. He’s even bitter towards his daughter now because she pulled some stuff last year and tried to put him in jail. He’s tried to reach out to her several times and she has never responded to him. She has totally closed us all off. It is extremely painful.

    Three years ago both my adult children were addicted to drugs. I began praying at the river every day for both of them. First my son came back, Then my daughter. God knows the struggles.We parents go through with addicted children. And he definitely hears each and everyone of our cries. And definitely cares,❤... My son is now working over two years at the same job, He buys his own clothes pays his own rent and is Basically growing up and away from that destructive period of his life. My daughters also doing amazing. ❤ shes 1 1/2 months clean from cocaine and meth addiction. Longest stretch ever in 5 years. God is gracious, merciful powerful and oh so faithful...hes shown his amazing love over and over again. When people used to say this i thought they were full of it, today I know that truth! The truth.

    A friend sent this to me today…I’ve been praying for my daughter to be delivered from this lifestyle for over 3 years. I’ve intensified my cries to the Lord during my church’s 21-Days of Prayer that just ended. During this time I was expecting her to call and tell me that she was leaving her partner…instead she called to say that she was engaged. I needed this message of hope tonight and am claiming the verse in Isaiah!

Also our son, Jamie (James) walked away at age 20 and he is now 47 1/2. Both these adult kids loved Jesus all their lives and even served in ministries and went on mission trips. We continue to call them back everyday! Please add them to your prayers at Daystar.

See, it’s not us that trusts our children with the Lord; it’s He who trusts His children with us 🙌🏼🙌🏼 While He was working out her heart issues He needed that time to work out mine!

    All 3 of my adult children and grandchildren are estranged from me. I'm not even sure why. My husband and I never dreamt they would stay estranged but it's been 4 years from the first one and 3 and 2 years for the others. My husband was in.their lives for 26 years and they loved him - he was a father to them. But he died of covid in 2021 and they did not reach out or come to me. This was incredibly painful. It still is. My God is mighty to save! He comforts me and provides for me.

      If all of your children go no contact, it's your fault. "I'm not even sure why." Yeah, my parents say that too. I guess seeing my tears, telling me they didn't want me, etc., then denying that any of that ever happened meant that they "never dreamt I would stay estranged". That just translates to 'Wait, they don't put up with abuse anymore?! They couldn't escape when they were kids, but now they have! No! That wasn't supposed to happen! Now I need to either find another victim or pretend to be a victim for sympathy." It's easy to blame them - oh, they're not Christian, the devil is leading them astray. Or, maybe, you know, do some self-reflection? If you were such an amazing parent, why do you have no children now? I'm estranged from my parents. My sisters are still under 18, but they will also go no contact once I help them leave. We're all Christian. That's just a convenient excuse. If your children aren't Christian, then I don't blame them, frankly. My parents abused me, told me it was God's will - it would make perfect sense for that to drive me away from God. It didn't, but in most cases it does.

    Thank you for sharing this awesome story of your battle, Karen! WOW!! It's my birthday today and I had been so sad because I haven't heard from one of my daughters for 21/2 years. I blame myself partially because my husband and I never had a real stable marriage relationship and fought a lot in front of our children. I didn't feel like I could accept " happy birthday" today because my 2 daughters live far away, and are in pain, and my husband, who I still don't feel intimately close to, is here and I want to be alone. I'm crying joyful tears for what God did through your pain and holding on to God because He's here, and He IS in every moment. This story watched because I was awakened earlier than I wanted to be and went scrolling on Instagram, leading to going to TH-cam to find a different preacher, finding this instead, is one way I know He really cares .❤May God continue His healing and restore the years the locusts have eaten!

      @d.6861 I do a lot for him. It's been 32 years. He says he loves me financially, but he isn't here with me when he's home. We can't talk about anything very long and strife happens. He doesn't know me and he isn't interested in more because I can't pay for counseling (I'm not working and can't afford it anyway.) He keeps saying he can't afford it or other things, but there's always a healthy amount of money in our joint account. He TELLS me what is going on in our budget. I have cut our bills in different ways, yet he STILL tells me there isn't money for counseling and my health care outside of what he pays for insurance (and I need financial help). Yet, when the doctor wanted him to get some testing done for a pain he was having, he went to the emergency room to do it vs. Just getting outpatient services. This isn't casual

    No one has cried more than me for my beloved daughter to come home. It has been ten years. She changed when she went away to college. We did not know her anymore. I prayed and cried everyday. “Even if she didn’t come home, please let her find God.” Well, she wrote me an email two weeks ago and said she was a born-again believer. She wrote me a 111 page letter and expressed she was writing only because of the honor thy mother/father commandment, but she had hated me all her life. She detailed every single thing she disliked about me or things she had felt I had done her wrong. I want you to know that this was a child that was treated like a princess and wanted for nothing. I devoted my life so she would have a wonderful life. I have chosen not to read her letter in full and might not even answer her as I am so hurt, but God did answer what I asked for…she found him.

      From my own experience, I can tell you that you can never go wrong apologizing with a genuine heart even if you’ve done nothing wrong. We chose the way of humility and in doing so our daughter got back to the Father’s house and opened communications with her family. Even God himself who makes no mistakes lost Adam and Eve in the garden. Our Lord Jesus lost one of his disciples, Judas! I pray God leads you in the way of forgiveness and restoration in your relationship. Even if you are not at fault.

      Praise God she is saved, she reached out to you as a baby Christian, she’s just starting out and may still blame you for things in her childhood. Even if you don’t think you wronged her she interprets it as you did so read her words carefully and ask God how you can make it right. Even though she’s an adult tour still her mother and she needs to know you understand and recognize she was hurt by you. Trust me even if you think you treated her like good we’re not perfect, my aunt also treated her daughter like a princess, gave her everything she wanted but she turned out to be a drug addict, got into trouble with the law and had two children while in drugs, my aunt and uncle are now raising her 2 children when they are retired, there are no perfect parents, we all can hurt our children without realizing it. Write her back and show her grace not blame for leaving.

I felt so unworthy and incaple as a mother, a minister and a public school teacher, too. Imagine your own son seemed not being taught and disciplined? But all my tears, heartaches and battles I am learning each passing day to lay down at Jesus feet. And God did a miracle! Glory to God, hallelujah!

A year later, Karen came to the church I was attending to the Gritty Women of God Conference and Lindsey had been restored to her everything. Today, years later this word is blessing me again.

We had some sad news of our wayward Daughter and we are so devastated and I told her I angry and upset.. at the same time I told her I love her... This gives me hope .. I don t know how ,when where,and why but I know that God is still on the Throne ... Please pray.. for her ..
