My Hands Are Tied

I am a mother, I have such pain, looking for my son, calling his name. Caught up in a world, his mind is a blur, feelings shut down, trying to endure. My hands are tied, don't know which way to go, been everywhere, but nobody knows. My body can't sleep, my mind won't ease, will someone help me, please. Visions of nightmares, I hear his voice, staying from me, is this his choice? Does he need me, would he come home, these are my thoughts, that won't leave me alone, I pray Dear Jesus, please bring him home, two weeks, and counting, since he has been gone.

My dear Christy. I am so sorry that you've going through this time. It seems it is an everyday occurence. Please remember that prayers never fail. Keep imploring and believe. Our kids get tangled in the web tthat we, or and society creates and we can't find answers to help them, but God who gave them to us feels our pain and understands. He hears our prayers and will make it right. Keep praying and I will too. Take care. Love, Annalise
