Prayer Circles

I also pray for the connection between my children, that they all learn to grow together, not a part.

Lord, please bless this family with peace, compassion and understanding. Send each of them even one small moment of your Grace to realize that everything that happens has a reason and is part of your plan. Bless them with the knowledge that growth and development result only from change, even painful change. And bless them also with faith that though they may not be able at this time to see their destination and the point of all these challenges, that You do know where they are going and will lead them to the place they need to be.

Dear God, I pray for Jacob and that he can see all of your love and strength. I pray that he can come to realize that you love him and that there are people that love him and taking care of him and that he will never lose sight of that. I pray that he can gain love, strength, hope, and peace of mind through you. I pray that he can open his life to you and keep love in his heart. Thank you dear God, Amen.

I was a lot like Jacob growing up. As adults my mom and I went to counseling to try to "recreate" our relationship. Things are better than they've ever been. But I had to find my own strength. Still not close to my one and only sibling. Although things there are better than ever as well. I've never done this before so I hate to offer advise if you don't want it. But next time he seems troubled, loud, angry . . . stay calm, peaceful and simply respond by saying, "I love you son. Is there anything else you'd like to say to me that you feel might give you peace?" I always just wanted to be heard. Didn't care if anyone agreed, just wanted to know they heard me out. . . . Dear God, bless Jason as he struggles through each day. Ease the pain he feels, as only you can and open his eyes to the love his family has for him. Although we don't always receive love from others, the same way they offer it, wrap Your arms around this family You have created and help them to learn to show and receive love as each of them needs it. Instead of treating others the way they wish to be treated, teach them to treat each other in a way that will bond them together and give them peace, love and hope. Amen

Dear God, being 12 going on 13 can be so difficult. Hormones are raging as you move from being a child to becoming a young adult. New doors are opening and new fears are being confronted. Be with Jacob as he goes through these changes. Help him to understand that he is not being abandoned and left behind, rather that he is being given the opportunity to share the gifts he has already received, from You through the love of his mother and the rest of his family, with his stepbrother who is hurting from his own loss. Help him to identify ways that he can grow in Your Love by reaching out instead of acting out. Help him understand that he is unique, beautiful, and loved by You and those that surround him. Help him to know that what he is going through is part of Your process to becoming a loving and complete person, and that many of us, including your Son, Jesus Christ, have gone through this before him. Dear Lord, through your Grace allow the seeds of love you have planted within this family to grow and bind them all together. I ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Father, I pray for Jacob and his family...I too have preteens and every day I say " do your best and God will do the rest." It seems to help remind myself and my girls that we its okay to make mistakes, have these feelings! We are not in this alone.I pray for direction for this family...that peace and comfort will soon fill their hearts. Amen.

All mighty GOD JESUS the creater of the world and our LORD and SAVIOR, will you please grant all these people and mine (healing, protection, love, and wisdom.) their prayers. We know you are the only one that can do it, that is why we come to you. Thank you my all mighty GOD for beening a loving GOD that answers prayers.

I am wiritng with both a prayer and some insight into Jacob's situation. I have worked with youth in the same depth of disequalibrium for some years now. In an effort to understand them fully I lived on the streets of San Francisco for a few days with drug addicted teeenagers. My daughter was one of them. I spent this time in discovery. There was a common theme among them all: the search for a place of belonging. The words I heard over and over again were "No one will listen to me." "I don't belong anywhere." "No one cares". Another common theme was finding an avenue of peace through art work. It might be drawing,working a ball of clay, playing an instrument, dancing, or any number of artistic avenues. Just being there to listen without judgement is essential. what ever Jacob speaks is his truth, even if it the situation isn't percieved by you the same way. Using non-verbal signes of caring such as a hug (if he will let you into his personal space), a smile, a slight touch, or a note saying in some regard "I am here for you" can make a huge difference. When you engage in a conversation or a spout of anger don't respond with advice. Respond with calmness and neutrals like "It sounds like you are really angry about a lot of things" "What would you like to see happen?" "Hmmm, I understand where you are coming from." "Life is really difficult sometimes." "I'm listening." Also taking care of yourself is so important at this time. Don't buy a ticket to his roller coaster. Take long walks, eat right, schedule times to fall apart and worry and then go back to being the supportive person who is there. If you aren't able to find an avenue towards healthy practices you will join the emotional crisis as a victim yourself. Using artwork, writing, meditaiton, prayer, and finding scriptures to assist you is very important. I offer this prayer:

Dear God,
Please wrap Jacob in your arms and assist him in finding an avenue that will help him sort out all the emotional chaos he is facing. Help this family to find a sense of belonging and support within the family structure. Give them the feeling of all being on the same side. Help them find enjoyable activites that can unravel the tremendous budens that encase them. Help them find healthy practices that can ease the pain and bring peace to their journey. Most of hug them and love them as only you know how. Send people their way that can give them what they most need.
Amen

My heart goes out to jacob for I have a 4 year old grandson with the same problem, please Jesus help them to overcome this problem

Dear God,

Please help Jacob in his time of need. I am around the same age as him and i know what he is going through. It's tough being 13 with depression. And it's even harder to accept it and live with it. I have no doubt that he will make it through this because I know he will, and I will be praying for him every night. But I have finally become happy after almost a year of depression, and I would like it if he could be happy too. Because everyone deserves to be happy and loved in their life, at least that's how I feel. Please look after him, and send him a guardian angel.
Amen.

pray for my son Isaac s. who has a speech delay or autism, that he would be able to communicate with me and this family someday, with God's help and guidance.

Dear Lord, we pray that this young man will receive Your enlightenment. Please enter into his heart and help him to understand that he is loved and that there is enough love to go around. Please open his heart to his older brother and help them to build a relationship of giving and receiving. Be with his mother and grant her comfort and the wisdom needed to deal with this situation. Lord, keep their family together and open Jacob's heart and help him find You in his life. We thank you for hearing and answering our prayers and love you so very much. AMEN
