Prayer Request

I have a prayer request...I know of a couple living in the Dallas area. They are a friend of a friend and are grandparents. Their daughter apparently had severe drug use issues, and died from an overdose...all while her small child observed the whole lifestyle.

The grandparents now have custody. The huge issue is that the little boy has so many deep and severe mental problems that no mental hospital will keep him. I think he has been kicked out of several. He is a huge threat not only to himself, but to all others around him. I hear he is a smart kid.

So his grandparents had no other choice but to take him today to a mental facility in the Dallas area and basically turn him over to the State of Texas. They are heartbroken and wish they could help him.

I do not know all the problems he has, but he is only 11 years old. I know this couple wishes that they could help him since they were unable to help their daughter, but at this time, they are doing the only thing they can do. Please pray for peace for them and for their grandson to get the help he needs. Thanks!!

Father, give the grandparents comfort and peace like only You can give in this difficult situation. Please wrap your Daddy arms around this young man and let Him experience Your love, mercy, redemption and power like never before. In Your Name, Amen.
