My eldest son is handsome. Lots of pretty girls have a crush on him. He's not paying attention to them--yet--but he's friendly with them. He has a crush on some girls now and then. He's in high school now, his fourth year. But he has a problem with acne. He's on medication, and it's under control, but I would like you, God, to get rid of it totally. I've suffered enough.
It costs so much just to have the acnes treated, plus the medicines. Spare him, God! Please?
I used to have a silky smooth and white skin, just like my son did before the acne problems. A lot of pretty girls fell for me, too, but I didn't pay them any attention. In fact, even with my acne and all, still some girls fell for me in college. I wonder what would have happened if I had a smooth skin all throughout? Probably I would have gotten some girls pregnant? I don't know. I've always been a gentlemen with girls--no touch.
I hoe my sons wouldn't have to suffer the same. God, please spare my sons from acne.
I thank you, God, for the way you protected me in my high school and college years, I went to a lot of dangerous places where some students got killed, I joined a lot of deadly organizations, I went home from evening classes and treaded on dangerous and dark areas of the city on my way home, but you were there, protecting me. Some students (even Christians) were held up by holduppers, some were killed, some were kidnapped and murdered, some were taken by bad cops and were never heard of again. But you were at my side, protecting me from all harm. Thank you so much, my Lord Jesus!
I pray that you will do with my sons 10 times you did to me--the protection, covering, safety, and guidance--and please spare them from acnes. May they be more humble and meek that I am, and more godly and revering you. Anointed them 10 times more. Raise them up to be your holy and true servants, with their holy and believing wives and kids.
My eldest gets full support from me and my wife, especially how he copes up with his adolescence. He gets support and sympathy from me with his acne problems. When I had them, there was no one who could understand me. I suffered alone--with you. Thank you God my son won't have to suffer alone. But do get rid of his acnes totally and permanently.
My youngest has smooth, white skin. He's also handsome. And I hope no acne or pimple would touch him.
Acne is a big and serious problem,. Aside from being so painful and ugly, it has a tendency to ruin your personality if no one counsels and guides you, to make you feel comfortable and loved. I struggled with the problem alone, but praise God the Lord Jesus never left my side so that today I'm an emotionally healthy person able to guide others through their adolescence ordeals.
The credit and glory is all yours, God. You are great and awesome. Please, my God and Father, bless and prosper my life--I, my wife, and kids, and our ministry--for your glory and for Kingdom advancement.
