Well, my son is a student at university, and his subject is Informatics. And now he failed to pass 2 important tests... Phew! As all of you who are mothers can imagine, my heart goes out to him; I want to help him, remove all obstacles, whatever. But the Holy Spirit told me NOT to call him every day and such things; maybe God has something else for him, in another range of studies - not informatics...
And to refrain from calling my son - that is soooooooo hard! So I mailed a prayer request to www.kcm.org (I am partnering with them, I think it is an awesome ministry that really helps me to understand God's Word), and they answered right away and sent me a lot of Bible verses to meditate on and pray about.
I did that, and - oh- my soul was comforted! I felt great peace about God dealing with my son, although in our last telephone conversation, my son seemed to be so downcast and a bit depressed. But - praise God! - today my son called and was much better, he sounded so courageous and optimistic! This weekend, he will come home for 2 days, and then we will pray about God's will for his life. I think he could change his field of study - he would make a great teacher - but I will just pray that God shows him what to do, I won't nudge my son in any way. I will trust in God, He has never failed me! Thank you ,Lord, for KCM and for the Holy Spirit.

Prayer is such a powerful thing. It is such a temptation to try to "be" the Holy Spirit's prompting to your children...and yet He is the only one who can do it effectively! I pray your son will catch a vision of what God has in store for His life and do better academically.
