Prayer for Shawn & Nathan

This is a prayer request for two boys. Shawn is 13 yoa, his mother is serving in Iraq, his father just got out of prison where he spent a year for drug possession. Shawn has been with a friend of his mother's. He is a single male with a 14 yr old son. Anyway, Shawn is angry, I am not sure the reason, because we really have not gotten the chance to sit down to talk with him. I am sure it has alot to do with his father and mother being absent in his life. He is a trouble maker at school, he gets angry and will punch any kid who happens to be around. His guardian has taken away things from him and yesterday it was football. This kid loves sports, he is good at them, but very disrepectful to coaches and whomever. Yesterday he punched a boy in the face and is now in juvenile for 24 hours. He left crying, I am sure not because he is sorry for what he did, but sorry he has to face consequences. I know he has some deep issues, I just felt led to ask everyone to say a prayer for him that God will send the right person to him to reach him or help him.

Then there's Nathan. He lived with us for eight months, he came from the boys home. He is an awesome kid, hardworking, loves church. He came from a family who had seven kids, he was eighteen and had never had a room of his own, was sexually abused by his brother and hungered for his mom's love. When he started doing well, she started calling him alot, he decided he wanted to go home, he has been gone for three months. He called the other day, he is living with an older sister, he was crying and said he tried to commit suicide, that his family doesn't care about him, he wanted to come back. We told him he could, he called three days in a row, then we have heard nothing, I am not sure what happened to him. So if you would lift him up in prayer. Pray that God draws these two boys to Himself, that He turns their hearts toward Him, because He is the only hope they have.

Thank you for your prayers and for caring, God created them, He loves them and only He can make them whole. Hugs to you all!!
