Isaiah 59:21
"As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the Lord. "My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever," says the Lord.

So why do my children not follow my example? They curse, but I do not. They lie, but I do not. They judge, and I hope I do not. They have hate towards me, but I love them so. If I catch myself doing any of these things I correct myself. I've always supported my children, especially emotionally. I did not grow up with such support, therefore, I make sure they have it. Yet they ignore me, avoid me, etc. I would surely die for them, yet they do not believe that. They choose to follow lies and gossip rather than who they see me to actually be. I hope and pray that they will open up to the Lord for the first time, or for some, open back up to Him. Please join me in praying for my children. I have my 1st grandchild who is less then a month old and I want to be in her life very much! I met her once and fell in love. But her dad, my son, had only known about her for a few days yet treats me like I know nothing about babies and is now shutting me out. :-(

I will pray for you and your family Brooke. I know nothing about parenting but I do know God. The scripture that comes to my mind is Galatians 6:9 - do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Seems to me that more people say their grandparents had a huge part of their spiritual growth compared to their parents. I pray you will be able to see more of granddaughter and future grandchildren. God bless!

I do understand to a point about this because I have a 14 year old daughter who was once living for the Lord, but has turned her back on Him. She rolls her eyes at me, gets mad at me, and she too has a "mouth problem" as well. I try my best to talk to her and get her to turn her life back over to God, but she has not YET. I pray for her, and I have others praying for her too. We can't give up on them, we have to turn them over to the Lord and let Him have them, and when they are ready for Him, He will have His way with them! I will be praying for you and your family too! I know you are hurting, and I know the Lord is with us Mommies and knows our hearts! He will see us through my friend!! Hang in there and never give up!

The scripture that comes to my mind is Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it. In Jesus name, I claim repentance and salvation for Brookes family. Please lose the fetters that bind them. Give Brooke grace in this time of trial, in Jesus name

Brooke, I believe Nancy, Donna and Mary have summed it up and there are many parents who go through the same senario, which is very trying but I have to believe that with your example, whether you see it or not, they are under conviction. Keep being the example and give them over to the Lord. He will, eventually, find a way to get their attention. Donna has stated God's position in the matter and sometimes it is difficult to rest in that but we must because it's His promise. Father, I ask You to awaken both Brooke and Mary's families to Your love for them and that You want them to enjoy Your love in obedience to their parents and to You. Lord, I ask You to give Brooke and Mary the perseverance to stand on Your word and believe for the joyous turn around in their families lives. Amen

Thank you all! Mary, what do you mean 'to a point'? You can ask me anything.

Something I have learned, Mary, is that we are not to preach to our families. That will push them further away. Especially teens who tend to rebel. Our families learn based on the changes that they see in us. It's a touchy\fine line situation, I know. We want the very best for our children and there is nothing better than God!

I watched a Christian movie where the son was being rebellious, the parents went into the kids room when he wasn't there and prayed over all his stuff and said God he's yours do with him as You will. God did an amazing thing in the boys life. He ended up in a car accident and survived with only a broken leg, but inured the girl in the other car quite badly. But God used that to bring the boy back to a relationship with God and gave him an amazing spirit of compassion. I'm not saying to pray for tragedy, but give them totally to God and let Him do the work that only He can do. Does that make sense?

Total sense, Donna. God bless you.

Yes Donna, total sense. At this point praying for my boys is all I can do since we are apart now. :-(

Well, Brooke, you can just still say they're Yours God, do what You want with them and trust God for the Outcome. In Jesus name I agree with you for them to turn to God.

All up to them Donna. Only God can work through them in a way that no person can. The greatest thing is to see our children, or anyone for that matter, give themselves over to God. I was able to witness my dad do just that before he passed away. It is one of my best memories ever!

Isaiah 59:21
"As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the Lord. "My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever," says the Lord.

Isaiah 59:1 "As for Me, this is My covenant with them," says the Lord. "My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and My Words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants--- from this time on and forever," says the Lord. Those who come to Jesus and repents their sins, God is saying He will not depart from them. Those who are still living in sin will never be able to know Him and He hides His face from them. In this chapter it talks about people and their mouth and how they are using it and it upsets Him so much. They get upset with someone because they do not like what they have done or said and they try to turn everyone else against them too. They talk bad about someone, they lie about someone, they gossip and gripe behind they backs, and they even scheme about them to get even with them. And they feel that they are justified in what they are doing just because someone has done something they don't approve of. They think this is okay and the Lord will not be upset?? If you have a problem with someone, go to God with that problem. That is what He wants you to do, not try to tear them apart, spread lies and rumors and gossip about them behind their backs! Take it to God and pray for them, don't let the devil use you to try to get others to join you and try to tear them down! Jesus would never do this, and neither should anyone else. You don't like what is happening? PRAY FOR THEM! Don't act like the devil and try to tear someone apart just because YOU think they are wrong because this is sin on your part and God is NOT pleased with this behavior at all. He says so throughout this whole chapter. He calls this "Back Bitters of Men" and IT IS SIN! Lord Jesus please help us to tame our tongue in the name of Jesus! Help us to come to YOU and not others when someone has been treating us like this and pray for them. If there is someone out there today Lord who has been doing like these people here are doing Lord, I ask that You help them see that it is ONLY YOU that can help them with their problem with others, not turning to a human and making it worse on themselves by becoming bitter, gossiping, back biting, slander, and letting the devil use them to tear someone down Lord because You will hide Your face to them and I want to see ALL people being able to lean to you for their help! In Jesus name I pray, AMEN

Yes Mary, it is like the cowboy movies. When someone is offended they go get a posse to attack the bad guys. Matthew 18 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”

Yes, Mary, our battle is spiritual. When we bring it to the physical the devil will win every time
