Prayers for my son. He will not stop using marijuana because he has PTSD from being sexually abused repeatedly when he was younger. He has had years of counseling with a therapist and tried numerous medications from his physician. The meds only made him feel worse and I am unable to convince him that marijuana is not the answer either, but it’s sad to see him remain so lonely and isolated all the time. I believe Jesus is the true physician and healer and that he has a plan for my sons life. Amen
