I am finding myself at a loss, seems no matter how much I pray everything stays the same. That is why I come here now and ask for prayer because Lord knows you can never have too many prayers. I gained guardianship of my nephew 4 months ago and since he has come to live with me we have had problem after problem with his behavior, he does extremely well academically though thank God! So I know it's not a case that he isn't smart or intelligent, just not sure what he is at this point other than a lost 13 (almost 14) little boy who has never been taught right from wrong or that there are consequences to his actions that also affect other people not just himself.

What has got me asking for prayers is on major behavior issue (in my opinion) is him lighting fire to God's word and being disrespectful at the church youth group as well as at church. I am scared for him that if he keeps on the path that he is on it isn't going to end well especially when it is time for him to meet our maker. So please send up an extra prayer for my nephew, Robert/Robbie that God touch his heart and help him see there is a much better path in life walking the path that God has laid out for him not Satan.

Thank you all for at least taking time to read my request and in advance for the prayers. May you all be blessed by God and his grace and mercy. As we ask him to have mercy on Robbie's soul for disrespecting God's word and hurting him in that way and also leading him onto God's path. Have a very blessed night!!!!

Wendy, I would suggest getting your nephew into some kind of counseling as soon as possible, whether it be through your church or through a professional setting. There seems to be possibly some underlying anger that her is acting out, with his behavior. Lord I lift up Robbie to you, and ask that you would meet his deepest needs. Lord you see the rebellion, and the pain & frustration this is causing Wendy & her family. Lord you are more than able to bring the Peace & Unity into this home. Bring Robbie inner Peace & Salvation. Cause him to understand your ways, and to know your Love. Lord, you are our Great physician & wherever there is a need for healing, all we need to do is ask You to meet those needs, and you hear us & answers our prayers always. Lord as Wendy listens to your Voice, and as she completely surrenders the burden of this, regarding Robbie to You, than you will give her all the tools needed to raise this young boy, into strong man of God. There is always Victory in you Lord, no matter what the situation or trial that we face, we are more than conquers through Christ Jesus.. Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

I am a foster carer for an 11 year old boy with very big emotional and behaviour problems so i know where you are comming from. It is hard to know what is going on in their mixed up minds but when ever i can i try to put myself in his shoes feel his pain so i can relate to him and help understand what it is he is going through. Just be there for him i will keep your nephew in my prayers tonight i know you want the best for him but i would not force the church on him at this time that never works he needs to find god himself my advice would be just to be there for him love him no matter what and where ever you can show him what is right and what is rong and hopefully he will get back on track. Violet 24 is very wise in advising he sees a counsellor of some sort god bless feel free to message me if you ever need to off load as i do know how hard your situation is xxx

Dear sweet Lord, please pour Your Love and Grace and Spirit on Robbie. Change his heart, his mind, and save Him. Give his caregivers the love, patience, and strength they need to be vessels used by You to bring Robbie to Your Son, Jesus Christ. In His name I pray. Amen.

I have been fighting with the system for months trying to get him the care that he needs and deserves through my church I was able to find him services that I can pay out of pocket while the rest of the idiots figures out what they are doing, he can't wait for them to do that though. I appreciate all your kind words and prayer's please continue to keep him in your prayers as we begin this journey of healing not only for him but our entire family.

I fully believe maybe 80% of his issues stems from his sister's death at that time he was only 7 and she was 6. She was left in a pool alone so that the girl watching her could go get high. After which his dad married the same girl responsible for walking away and leaving is baby sister to die. It has taken a toll on our whole family but especially him. I just want him to find peace.
