A mother's prayers for her teenager
A mother's affection cannot be weaned from her child, because the mother-love includes purity and constancy, both of which are immortal.
—Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 60
If I ever had a time in my life when I needed to pray, it was when I became aware that our daughter was experimenting with drugs. During her teen years, she began hanging out with a different group of kids than she was friends with when we first moved to our town the year before. She wanted to spend lots of time away from home and was often rebellious and dishonest. It was a scary situation that took my husband—who is her stepdad—and me often to our knees in prayer for her safety and well-being.
