Life Over Coffee Devotions
The parents are overwhelmed with fear for his mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. They are struggling to understand what has caused this shift and are desperate for guidance. Their son has become increasingly resistant to communication, shutting them out whenever they attempt to engage with him about his struggles.
The family dynamic has become tense as the parents wrestle with guilt and uncertainty. They wonder whether their parenting has contributed to the problem and believe they are unprepared to navigate such a serious situation. Their son’s refusal to talk, coupled with their fears for his safety, leaves them unsure of how to minister to him effectively.
After the possibility of suicidal thoughts arises, the parents are filled with both panic and urgency. They turn to you for practical and spiritual guidance, longing to help their son but sensing powerlessness to reach him.
