Peter Prayer

I do ask that you would pray with and for us regarding Peter.  Let me start with the specifics and then I will expand a bit of my feelings behind it.

• Safety of Peter's car sitting outside of the car lot tonight.
• Clarity for the mechanic to figure out the problems.
• Clarity for how to redeem this situation - fixing it to a good workable vehicle or coming to some compromise and compensation of money already spent so we can start over with different car.  The money is an issue but so is Peter having a safe dependable car.  BUT maybe he isn't to have a car.  I selfishly want him to have one to free me and he thinks he NEEDS one and it is nonnegotiable but what if it isn't.  What if we are trying to make something happen that isn't suppose to.
• That Peter will show up to his video therapy appointment 2:30 Tuesday and participate.
• Peter  will also show up and willing participate with naturopath appointment  4:15 Tuesday.  This is a follow up from our initial appointment in mid March and after 3 months of supplements.
• Wisdom to know whether to continue with the supplements or not.
• That the lawsuit Peter has been thrust into due to minor accident in October will come to an abrupt halt and be resolved without involving Peter.
• The above is the mom desired prayer request but if not the path of most God -glory, then Peter will get the legal support and protection he needs.
• And in all of it, for me to know what is my role and what is not.  Pray that I will have wisdom to know when to step in or when to step back.

As a parent of an adult child it really ishard to know when to step in help and when to let your child handle it. Perhaps even more so that adult is 21 year old male child whose brain isn't fully developed.  I felt like I was making progress in this area until Peter was diagnosed with schizophrenia.  Since then I have had a harder time knowing when he needs my advocacy and when I am enabling.  I don't want to be an enabler.  Nor do I want to abandon the person I am to be advocating and helping.  Fear often makes it hard for me to determine which is which.  And the worry and stress of "am I doing the right thing" is exhausting.  I do appreciate prayers for wisdom.  I pray that God would provide other advocates for Peter, that they will come forward, Peter will accept and I will be able to step back.
