Five years ago, I called my son’s school to talk to a teacher he had not been getting along with. I was trying to repair the communication between the two of them that was heading south at ninety miles per second. My son was extremely immature at the time. The teacher gave me the impression that he was as well. I realize now that they were just two people with problems who met.
At the time, my son was taking ADD medication. I had fought that for years, but succumbed to the pressure as his behavior had spiraled out of control. I paid careful attention to the effects of the medicine upon my son. I won’t say the name. It really doesn’t matter since they have many names for the same medicine. The medicine was helping; it was making things worse.
SIDEBAR
My son had put great pressure on us all. He ran away continuously. He usually got to the corner of the street. He was considered to be gifted but sensitive; and if you ever hear it, get on your knees and pray for the person. He used to demand that we apologize to him and we would, never knowing what we did. He would become emotionally overwrought and our entire family thought we were nuts to put up with it. We were patient all of the time, but it was hard.
BACK TO THE STORY…
I was appealing to the teacher to be patient with my son because he was threatening to quit school. It fell on deaf ears. I got off the phone and was still crying. Not long after that, I was sitting reading my bible and I was led to take my son off the medicine. He began to improve. Within two years, he was a completely different person.
Right around that time, I read a book by noted Christian writer Rebbecca Brown in which she talked about the accuser going before God to make a petition for. I had never heard anything like that, but in my prayer time I prayed to find out if there was anyone close to me that the accuser had made a petition for. I was surprised but not surprised as I began to think about my son unequivocally. So after that, I keep my son quite near the top of my prayer list.
During this time, he has radically changed in maturity and behavior. His academic change has been nothing short of remarkable. We walked him through high school, but God has restored him and he recently received an invitation to be on the National Dean’s List. He doesn’t do drugs or drink and I mention it because so many of the post ADD children are rumored to have problems with drugs after getting off of the medicine.
As far as the running away and tantrums and demands for apologies…they ceased.
Today, he’s scholar at a top school. Only God could do that. Personally, he’s a joy to be around. He helps, we think he’s the family mediator, has a strong sense of humor, is witty and is level headed. Despite all of that, I keep him covered in prayer knowing the adversary.
I am ever so thankful. I offer this to you to challenge you to specifically pray for healing for your family member; be it physical, psychological, mental, emotional or what have you.
Pray for them. Begin today.
Matthew 15:28 (King James Version)

Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
