Janell’s story

My husband and I had a very stressful day with our teenage son who is going through some mental health issues. I was feeling very overwhelmed and exhausted emotionally, physically and mentally. These battles with my son have been going on for quite a few months and we have just felt like no one understands, no one can help, and our resources were depleted. I had just gotten off the phone with my mom venting about the latest issues and she reminded me that she was praying for me and my son and to keep praying for him and God knows what plans he has in store. As soon as I hung up I turned on the radio and the first song that played was Matthew West's song "Don't stop Praying". Every word in that song spoke truth into me. It was exactly what I needed to hear in that moment. Don't stop calling on Jesus name, keep pounding on heavens door and let your knees wear out the floor! It was a great reminder that God hears us when we cry out to him, he's listening, and he wants to help us. Don't stop praying!!
