I have been Joining the 5 AM Intercessory prayer calls since November 2022 and have followed ASBC since 2017. This year I participated in Seek 2023 and am more than grateful for and motivated by the experience. I appreciate the ministry so much because the last few years have been especially challenging for me, almost hopeless. The prayer line has been a lifeline for me in a very difficult time these last four almost five months. I am one of the ones who is so grateful that you always remember the unspoken petitions. I am usually silent and remain on mute unless one of the prayer leaders asks us to agree or worship corporately or until the end of the call when we extend our daily blessings and love. For the last month, I have wanted to verbalize my prayer requests, but I always suppress the prompting of the Spirit because of shame and embarrassment. Even now, as I silently type this request at 1:46 am, awake from the excruciating pain of a tooth abscess, I hesitate to share my struggles. I have a 30 year old son who lives with Bipolar /Schizoaffective Disorder. He was a highly gifted child and young adult, a benevolent son and friend, a poet and songwriter, an artist, a sensitive and compassionate soul...For the last three years, my son has lived with me, and I have watched his health deteriorate. I have sought treatment for him, but because he is not a physical threat to anyone or to himself, there are no resources for me here in Florida. Up until recently, I've been able to manage the stress of living with a son with mental health issues with no familial support while struggling with personal health issues; but, now, I feel imprisoned by and hopeless in my situation because my life has lost its normalcy. I have begun to isolate because I feel people don't understand what we are going through. I know that God hears and still answers prayers. Today, I am asking that you pray with me for total physical and mental wellness so that I am healthy enough to be and do what I need for myself in order to help my loved ones and others. Also, please pray for my son's deliverance and for him to be receptive to and proactive in seeking treatment again, so that he may lead a functional life. Thank you, and may God bless each one of you.
