My son Matthew has been diagnosed with PTSD. He is currently in the military.
He has been unable to sleep, and the inability to change what is going on at his work I believe is finally starting to take its toll.

He came to the Lord at a young age, and the churches have been a sore disappointment to him. The one he finds comfort with where he is stationed at
is two hours away. Services are on a day that he has to work. So after working 12 hours, he travels two hours to get there and two hours to get back. So fellowship
is difficult because he is the only one traveling such a great distance and none who go to the church are close by. I fear that the loneliness is starting to get to him.

The trials at work compound the issue. He works hard (always has been so with him) and is fair to those who work for him.
Yet those above seem to go out of there way to make it difficult for him. Since he faithful to his work, they don't attack him directly. They've tried in the past and have failed so have taken to another tack.
They go after those who work for him. Some of it might even be justified, however punishment is never given out in an even handed manner. That is what makes it most difficult for him. The powers to be at his work, pick and choose who they will pick on. It also seems to always be the most vulnerable.

Please keep him in prayer, for healing, peace of mind and spirit. For coverage over adversity by our Heavenly Father.
Ask this with a fathers love and heart which tares at me for my helplessness.

I must also, include a neighbors son called Shane. This 3.5 year old child has many aliments to deal with since birth, but now has a severe ear infection.
His father who is in construction, is purely dependent upon the seasons for work, and in this winter the jobs have been few. He has now finally found some jobs to do that require him to travel but with his child being sick he is finding it difficult in doing both. Burden upon burden for this man.

He is being faithful as he can be. His wife left him for another man and still lives in a house that he built for the most part. Sadly, she has walked away from the Lord, while he has
continued to stay faithful. Yet, trying times, work & children (2) are starting to make it very difficult for him. I fear for a breakdown.

So please join my prayers for him and his son. For healing, and strength to see him through these times.

Thank-you all my brothers & sisters in advance for your prayers.
