Prayer Request

A reader writes:

I am asking if you could put out a prayer request to your readers. My oldest son is 10 years old and severely autistic. He has become increasingly violent and has started targeting my pregnant wife’s belly. We now have to have him admitted to a residential facility until such time as he can be reintegrated into our home. It breaks my heart to think of him under any roof but ours but it is simply too dangerous for my wife and our children.

Father, hear our prayer for a healthy birth, for a happy outcome for this troubled child that you love, and for this family struggling to do what is best for everybody. Grant skill to his caregivers and healing for his mind, body and spirit through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary, pray for him, the new baby, and mom and dad in this difficult hour.
