Thanks for reminding me that this is a battle of us against the enemy.  I understand addiction and alcoholism because I am in recovery, and have gone through a few relapses.  I also know that I would not have the sobriety I have without a daily dependence on God.  I was in rehab in January 2010, and remember the day I finally surrendered my will and my life to the Lord, holding nothing back.  That was the day I was released of the obsession to drink.

I appreciate your prayers.

Hugs,
Trish

I know it must be hard watching him go through this. With prayer, I pray God will soften his heart and call him to his side as a totally delivered, born again believer soon.  Satan knows what a valuable tool Sean would be if he turned to God.  What an awesome testimony he would have. 

This is a spiritual war.  Praying God's angels down to minister to him and protect him.  Right now he needs a prayer cover, a hedge of protection and deliverance from the hands of satan.  Pray against the spirit of the air and command the warrior angels of God to come down and fight the enemy. This is a spiritual war.  Amen!

Hi Everyone,
My younger son, Sean, went through a few years with a really bad heroin addiction about nine years ago.  When he moved out on his own, he began drinking, which is a big no-no for anyone who has been in drug and alcohol rehabs multiple times.  Then, in the Spring, he revealed that he was smoking pot again.  I knew he was heading down the same path he had before.  

Sure enough, he called me on Thursday to tell me he was in a drug and alcohol rehab.  I hate being right.  He needs prayer.  I am sworn to keep this information away from the rest of the family, so I have to ask Christian friends who don't know my family to pray.  

I'm not sure if I had shared that one of his friends died of a drug overdose in November.  Sean had driven from Pittsburgh home to say good-bye to the friend when he lay braindead.  My son was the only nonfamily member allowed at the funeral, which was very private.  I had hoped that would have scared him, but it didn't.  He went back to heroin again.

My heart is broken.  I wrote him a pretty long letter, telling him I do not want to bury him the way his friend's mom had to bury her son.  He is one of the most brilliant people on earth, with an IQ over 160.  Unfortunately, because he got into drugs in middle school, he became a really bad under achiever.  

Thanks for praying.

Hugs,
Trish
 

 I guess you are either in surgery right now, or in the recovery room.  Be sure to follow doctor's orders about walking and sipping.

I'm saying a prayer for you.

God's blessing on you and your family today.

Hugs,
Trish

AMEN!!!!!
