This Friday my son, Jason Ryan is to have a biopsy. Jason has a growth on the outside of his stomach; which is patchy /changing color. My concern is overwhelming for him. Jason is in prison for Meth. He went to the prison doctor 3 weeks ago, who dismissed it, saying it was nothing. I've prayed for an answer - I called the Warden myself this past Monday. Told him I wanted a 2nd opinion. Within 15 minutes time from that phone conversation, Jason had an appointment for the Biopsy. I'm scared; but greatful. I believe this has beome one of the worst times in my life. Afraid for both my sons. Older one in prison; the younger one, headed back to Iraq the end of January, 2007. I'm trying to be postive for both sons; strong for the family. Praying very hard for Jason to be moved closer to home; it's a 5 hour drive to visit him. Praying very hard for my son, Joel to remain strong, healthy; to come home to us safely. Please all who read - pray for my boys. Bless you all! Lord in Heaven, please hear my prayer; Lord, place your hand upon all who suffer from addiction of some sort. The pain it causes, not only for the weak victims - but for the families. Lord, help us to help our loved ones. We are powerless over this problem and powerless over anyone's life but our own. Lord, I am asking for you to breath into their very souls, the gift of life; your light of hope. Giving these lost souls of temptation, courage to fight against their love of this addiction. All who are on this site, need your hand upon them. Help us, Lord Jesus to remain strong, patient, loving for those we're struggling with to help; this horrible disease of addiction, of drugs or alcoholism. Lord Jesus in Heaven, please place your hand upon my son, Jason Ryan. Guide him through his pain; heal my son, mentally, physically, emotionally. Forgive all sins in this family. Jason is hurting; he needs the love and support of this family and close friends; help Jason's brother to commit to helping Jason through this horrible time in our lives. My son is sitting in prison, alive, for which I am thankful. Lord, it's has been a hard 15 months; very hard, but Jason is alive and his system is clean. He's getting the help he needs, in the school of hard knocks. This is not what I would have chosen for him, but I'm asking no questions. My Lord in heaven, you know my son, better than I. You have taken the bull by the horns and set him down; down hard. Thank you. I know Jason is the type of person, who has to see reality before he can accept the truth. He now sees the reality of his weakness. Lord, you slapped this young man in the face and answered all my prayers. I am so grateful. I ask that you still guide my words and actions so that I will say and do all I can to hasten recovery. Help me to also detach so that my son will admit the problem and keep seeking all the help that he needs. Heal him, Lord. Sweet Jesus, guide Joel to his brother. Help them both to recapture that closeness they have shared growing up. Bring all of Joels' pain out into the open, so they can both heal. Help David & I to heal. Lord, all who seek you, help them as you have us. Let them feel and know that help is on the way. I pray that we never lose faith in Your power and Your love for each one of us. Lord, I ask this in Your name, Jesus, Amen. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32 "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in him will I trust." Psalms 91:2 Dear Lord in Heaven - hear my prayer: Lord, Thou art a God of peace and desirest that we should live and let live. Thou lovest all mankind - not just a chosen few. I know Thou has sent Thy Son, Jesus, my Savior, into the world of sin to bring peace on earth. Yet the wickedness and selfishness of man has brought on wars and strife, death and destruction. Lord I beseech Thee, to touch the hearts of rulers/ leaders /Presidents / Prime Ministers; to have compassion that each may strive to maintain peace among the children of men. Lord in Heaven, my son is getting ready to come back from Japan only to head back to Iraq. Please protect Joel, who is in the UNITED STATES ARMY. Grant that the faith which is in my son from his childhood to his adulthood, remains untouched; unshaken through the many temptations that will come his way. Help Joel to conquer all fears, discouragement, homesickness and doubt. Help him go grow as a wise leader to his men. Stand at his side every second of every hour of every day. Lord, as I pray for my son, Joel, touch his heart w/my words; let him feel the presence of home, love, family. Let him pray w/me. We will be parted by many miles Lord, let our prayers meet at Thy throne of grace. Return my son unsullied in character, unshaken in faith, and ever Loyal to Thee, the eternal Caretaker of our lives. Bless Joel and his family, I ask this in Jesus' name, my Savior and Guide. Amen.
