Hi, you don't say what your having problems with. Are you having trouble in a relationship or are you feeling depressed. If you want to message me I'll be more than happy to try and help

I'm new too. Your post is the only recent one I see. It seems like we are supposed to tell about whatever issue we're having and I guess others comment or offer advice.
So here's my problem. Our son is 35 married with 3 children and doesn't want to work. If he does get a job he always finds something wrong with it. I have helped him a lot financially because of the grandchildren. This is enabling on my part but what about the little ones . Do you just let them all become homeless? This is so hard!

I’m sorry to hear about your dilemma with your son. Dealing with my own adult son’s bad choices and the resulting consequences have been frustrating and heartbreaking for me...very hard, indeed. There are two books just recommended to me: Setting Boundaries With Your Adult Children and When Your Adult Child Breaks Your Heart. I’ve started reading the first and appreciate the clarity and advise. I really appreciate the focus on God, too, which I found in my own life to provide comfort & strength. I know I don’t have either on my own. It’s just hard to stay in His space consistently.

Hi Prov357
I read the Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children several years ago. It's a great book and I need to re-read it. The scripture "Apart from Me you can do nothing" is so true! It's so easy to get caught up in all these issues with grown kids and become overwhelmed. That verse among many others is a promise I hold on to. You are right that it's hard to stay in His space consistently. Thankfully He stays in ours without wavering! I'm going to get that second book you told me about. I'm praying for strength and guidance for you and your son.

Just joined today. Thank God you are here. My Pastors wife gave me the book on Setting Boindries years ago. I kept believing that my daughter was sincerely wanting change and never gave her the consequences of continuing her irresponsible behavior . I’m ready now

Sorry I haven’t been very consistent in responding. Sometimes I’m just not wanting to open myself up to the despairing feelings and thoughts that come up... I do so appreciate that God is always near, unwavering with His love and help. And I do appreciate seeing your responses. I hope you’re finding the help you need. One of my favorite verses right now is Isaiah 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. It helped to memorize it in my mind a bit to directly speak to God: You keep me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on You, because I trust in You, Lord.
When the sadness overwhelms me, I repeat that verse to myself as I again surrender it all to God. I’m going to see a therapist today - I’ve been feeling isolated and incompetent...
God bless you all. Thank you for connecting.
