Will you please pray for my baby as I can not pray at this time?

I can not pray. The words won't come. I'm angry at God. My beautiful 21 month old baby boy was just diagnosed autistic. He was perfect and met all his milestones and he was so happy. Every day I thanked God for this blessing. Then it all changed. He lost his vocabulary. Stopped responding to his name. Stares at wheels on toy cars all day and lines up shoes all day and has lots of tantrums. Bangs his head and rocks. I got through my husbands cancer and losing everything financially and starting over. I still prayed and kept thanking God for my baby's health. I felt so blessed. I am at a loss to understand why this happened to my baby. I want to scream or punch someone or jump off a bridge but I have to act normal. It's not okay. I am so afraid for Daniel and what his future will be. I am getting him all the therapy I can and working with him. My older son got jumped and robbed last week %26amp; is in hospital. I wish I could pray. Baby napping now. Thanks

Will you please pray for my baby as I can not pray at this time?
You have to keep your faith girl!


Remember that God has a perfect plan for everyone's life. We may never know or understand why - that's why we as Christians have Faith to get us through these storms. Bad things happen to good, faithful, god loving, awesome people all of the time. Please do not turn your back on God. He is the one you need to lean on the most right now. I know you feel overwhelmed and discouraged, I can't fathom the pain you must feel also. God knows you can and will get through this, he never brings us to something that he can't get us through. Please pray, you will feel so much better. Don't ask God why - ask Him to reinforce your faith.
Reply:yes I will pray for you dear. please ask a trusted friend relative in your life for some "time" ,companionship. you need some time to take care of yourself and to experience some pleasure.





hugs sweetie. I am so sorry to hear of your pain.





I hope your older son improves very soon.





yes, I will pray for your family
Reply:I'm very sorry to hear this. I hope it all works out. There is a lot of hope for your baby. Contact Autism Help. They can help you find the sources you need to help your son.
Reply:I'm so sorry for what you are having to go through. I will pray for you and your children. BTW, it's OK to be angry with God.
Reply:please don't get discouraged in your situation because god is still in the mist . all this things your going threw is just a test he wants to see weather you will walk in faith that your children will be ok or will you turn away from him at a time like this he loves you and he is still with you i know you are hurting but god is a comforter and a healer he can turn your situation around in a matter of minutes . the doctors don't know everything you keeping thanking god for your children he will see you threw this trial so please stay in encouraged i know its hard because your still human with very strong emotions but please try to claim the victory over your situation be blessed sister
Reply:Yes, I will pray.





God bless.
Reply:I wish you lots of strength to deal with this challenge. There have been lots of advances in dealing with autism and you won't know how severe it is for a while. It will be a struggle at times but you can do it!





I don't think you should wait for God to help you. You need to rely on your own strength and the strength of your family and friends to help you. If praying helps you get that strength, then do it. If it just makes you mad then don't do it now because it will just sap the strength you need.





You will be amazed at how people will come through with help and support if you ask them. I think you will look back some day and be amazed at yourself for getting through this and for helping your child get to a normal life. You may at that time thank God for helping or you may not, but that is something you will decide later.





I wish you all the strength and love you and your child will need.
Reply:Your family is on my praying list. Take care of yourself, life is precious, Verily Verily After every hardship their comes ease!
Reply:Yes, I will pray. But don't be angry at God. He does everything 4 a reason. Please keep faith!!
Reply:You've got it tough at the moment, Hope you can stay strong for your family...I'm atheist so prayers aren't my thing. You are doing the right thing, don't keep your feelings all bottled up inside... tell everyone how you feel.
Reply:WOW! You have the right to be going through an angry time. It is a natural part of the process.





I have worked with people with epilepsy for many years. That includes working with families with autistic children - some of the children with autism develop epilepsy. So I would like to make a suggestion or two.





First, if you are not taking your son to a pedatric neurologist, you need to. Depending on where you live, you may need to travel to get your son the best care. Contact the national autism organization and find out if they have a local or state chapter. They can give you information on doctors, support groups, etc...





The other tip is this. Go and get a three ring binder. Everytime you take your baby to the doctor or to any other professional, tell them you want a copy of everything they write down. Keep EVERY SCRAP OF PAPER in this notebook. Always have copies of any test reports, anything you get from Social Security, insurance letters, EVERYTHING. As you work through this maze, you need to keep everything in one place so you can get to what you need easily.





All is not lost with this diagnosis. Your best bet for his future is to start getting help now. He may grow up to be an amazing man who unlocks mystery - he may have incredible intelligence. He may be dependent on you for the rest ofhis life. No matter what happens, how well you are prepared will make the difference in his success or failure.





Like I said - a couple of suggestions - things I have learned from working with a couple hundred families.
Reply:I will pray for you and your baby. Remember to be strong now is the time you need God the most..a time to be thankful for what He as given you. God does everything for a reason and though it may not seem right now he has a plan ... He loves you and is going through this with you.~God Bless~
Reply:I will pray for you and your son. But God is not to blame for your childs autisim
Reply:I will pray for your baby, but also for you. Go ahead and rant at God, He can take it. Tell Him what you are thankful for. Ask him for wisdom, love, guidance and strength to get through this and know what to do. Seek help from mothers in the same situation and learn as much as you can about autisim. There is hope. You may have been chosen by God to be an example for others. I will also pray for your oldest son. God bless each of you.
Reply:I will pray for him. One of my daughters is autistic and it is definitely a challenge but therapy and work do accomplish amazing things.
Reply:I will pray for you and your Daniel. When you are angry at God, talk to him..Even if you have to yell at first...He knows your frustration and your anger.Your fear and your frailties. Your joy and your love for your son.


Romans says that sometimes all we can do is groan. How much does your Father know you that he can hear you through your groaning, and your pain.


Even if you don't know that you are praying, I believe that as children of the most high God, are spirit does. And when we can't, Jesus will for us. John 17.








Again praying for you...in Christ~vicki
Reply:I speak to you as a mother myself. . .my heart hurts for you. As a mother I know that there is nothing nearer to our hearts than our children. I would rather go through anything than to watch my children suffer and I am sure you feel the same way.





I think it is completely normal to feel frustrated and to feel like throwing your hands up in the air. . . but do not be afraid and do not give up. When it seems you have simply done all you can and you can not take one more step forward for fear of taking two steps back simply stand. Plant your feet in and stand refusing to go back to places you have already made it through.





It is good to hear that you have your son in the therapy that he needs. . .that is the first step. You will make it through this, your son will make it through this.





Prayers for you and your entire family. . . .for strength, courage, wisdom, peace and restored health.
Reply:Sorry to hear about your son, but he hasn't been diagnosed with a fatal disease - its not a death sentence.





He's alive and (probably) not going to die in the near future; autistics can lead reasonably 'normal' lives.
Reply:Hon, I'm so sorry.





For 2 years I was a Lead Autism Therapist for a wonderful boy named Gabe. He was diagnosed with autism when he was just a month older than your son. Gabe was about dead center in the autism scale. He wouldn't look you in the eye. He did a lot of "stimming" and rocking behavior. He wouldn't talk.





We did "ABA" therapy (Applied Behavior Therapy) for three years. Also, for one year the little boy had a "shadow" to help him in kindergarten. It took a lot of work - I mean, every day he had at least one 2-hour-session, usually 2 sessions. He had speech and language help and a physical therapist.





After that time, Gabe is now symptom free. His mom tells people he is autistic and even doctors don't believe her.





You know about this early and with intervention, you can have a son that has NO limitations because of autism.
Reply:oh my goodness you poor thing. life has not been easy for you. but don't worry, you'll get through it. your baby IS a gift. your baby chose you as his mother because he knew you would be the only person in the whole world that would care for him the way he needs. you are truly blessed to have been chosen by this beautiful little baby.
Reply:ask The Blessed Virgin, her prayers are more valuable than mine but, I will pray also.
Reply:I will pray for you, your family and your son. Sometimes it is the hardest to pray when you don't understand why this is happening to you and it is understandable to be angry in this situation. I trust that God will provide a way for you and your family :o)
Reply:I'm sorry to hear that and I know exactly how you feel. There's been times of my life when I've felt spiritually void, wished I could pray but unable to. I will pray for you and your daughter.
Reply:I'm sending you good thoughts and wishes.





my nephew is autistic, and he's brought the most joy to our family....don't be sad. it's so hard, i understand, but he's with you for a reason, because you can handle it. structure in his life is KEY. you will be amazed at his gifts, despite his disabilities. be in awe of you child because he's different. you will be angry at times, but you will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel. every day, be thankful for something.
Reply:There are times when we can only ask "Why." This is one of them. I will pray for your family. May God give you what you need.
Reply:Say: My God,


to Thee I complain of a soul


commanding to evil,


rushing to offenses,


eager to disobey Thee,


and exposing itself to Thy anger.


It takes me on the roads of disasters,


it makes me the easiest of perishers before Thee;


many its pretexts,


drawn out its expectations;


when evil touches it,


it is anxious,


when good touches it,


grudging;


inclining to sport and diversion,


full of heedlessness and inattention,


it hurries me to misdeeds


and makes me delay repentance.


My God,


I complain to Thee


of an enemy who misguides me


and a satan who leads me astray.


He has filled my breast with tempting thoughts,


and his suggestions have encompassed my heart.


He supports caprice against me,


embellishes for me the love of this world,


and separates me from obedience and proximity!


My God,


to Thee I complain


of a heart that is hard,


turned this way and that by tempting thoughts,


clothed in rust and the seal,


and of an eye


too indifferent to weep in fear of Thee


and eagerly seeking that which gladdens it!


My God,


there is no force and no strength


except in Thy power,


and no deliverance for me from the detested things of this world


save through Thy preservation.


So I ask Thee


by Thy far-reaching wisdom


and Thy penetrating will


not to let me expose myself to other than Thy munificence


and not to turn me into a target for trials!


Be for me


a helper against enemies,


a coverer of shameful things and faults,


a protector against afflictions,


a preserver against acts of disobedience!


By Thy clemency and mercy,


O Most Merciful of the merciful!








Say also: My God,


nothing repels Thy wrath but Thy clemency,


nothing delivers from Thy punishment but Thy pardon,


nothing rescues from Thee but Thy mercy and pleading to Thee!287


So give me, my God, relief by means of the power


through which Thou bringest the dead lands to life


and revivest the spirits of the servants!288


Destroy me not,


and give me the knowledge of Thy response,


my Lord!


Raise me up and push me not down,


help me,


provide for me,


and release me from every blight!


My Lord,


if Thou raisest me up,


who will push me down?


If Thou pushest me down,


who will raise me up?


But I know, my God, that there is no wrong in Thy decree,


and no hurry in Thy vengeance.


He alone hurries who fears to miss,


and only the weak needs to wrong.


But Thou art exalted, my Master,


high indeed above all that!


My Lord,


make me not the target of affliction


nor the object of Thy vengeance,


respite me,


comfort me,


release me from my stumble,


and send not affliction after me,


for Thou hast seen my frailty,


and the paucity of my stratagems.


So give me patience,


for I, my Lord, am weak,


and I plead to Thee, my Lord!


'I seek refuge in Thee from Thee',


so give me refuge!


I seek sanctuary in Thee from every affliction,


so grant me sanctuary!


I cover myself through Thee,


so cover me, my Master,


from what I fear and dread!


Thou art the All-mighty,


mightier than every mighty thing!


Through Thee,


through Thee,


through Thee,


I cover myself.


O God, O God, O God,


O God, O God, O God,


O God, O God, O God,


O God!

"I am at a loss to understand why this happened to my baby"


* Did you have him vaccinated? When/if you did, was it the typical 4 shots at once?


Dr's are getting closer and closer to prove this is the cause of many cases of autism.
Reply:I will keep you and your son in my thoughts.
Reply:I most certainly will pray for you. I sort of know how you feel, because my little brother is autistic. You are blessed, however, that you found out about his autism this early. We didn't find out with my brother until he was 12! Early intervention can do wonders. I understand how you must feel right now. It's hard to see your dreams for your precious little child be dashed into a brick wall called autism. I know you're mad at God right now, but God didn't cause your baby to be autistic. Place the blame where it belongs, on Satan, the father of lies and sorrow, the originator of sin. If you trust in God, He can turn this terrible thing that Satan has done into something wonderful. He has with my brother.


So pray to God. You can tell Him that you're angry with Him, you can scream at Him. God will listen, and He will bring comfort to your soul.


God Bless, and be sure to get your son into an early intervention program. It will help a lot!
Reply:It's not "gods" fault, infact God does not exist. So being angry at something that doesn't exist is pointless. Instead you should understand and realize that your childs problems stem from genetics and not some supernatural problem.
