    God didnt take your sons life Alecia…satan and the sickness of this world took him. Jesus said the satan is the Prince (ruler) of this world. Find comfort in the HOLY SPIRIT!!! Read John ch. 13 thru ch. 18. And Acts ch. 1

    You missing your son and he would always be in ur mind and heart! Trust in Jesus, He will take better care of him than u would and he is out of all the pain and ills of this world.

    “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
    ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:”
    ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:21-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    >>>God always answers prayers & it could be yes, no or wait. I have no idea why he said no to u. In any case, our saviour Lord Jesus died at age 33 not for himself but for the sins of the whole wide world. Even His God Father did not spare His life, when Jesus prayed ” Take this cup of suffering from me “, agree ?

    All who die for whatever reason, are at present still in Adam & Eves inheritted punishment of Sin & Death, & until it is removed during Armageddon we have to be patient, When GOD Sets up the New Earths System he will Resurrect the Dead, back to perfect life & health on Earth able to live forever & we can embrace our families again with joy & happiness

    God had heaven planned early for you son, and He has heaven planned later for you. When you can say, “He does all things well!” you will begin to understand

    Mom of a son so dearly loved, I’m so sorry for your great and painful loss. There are no words to bring comfort to that pain, only time and the good memories that come in remembering him after the painful ones fade will help some. But it is a pain you never ever really get past it only gets a little easier to deal with. As for why? Only GOd knows! I Lost a faithful brother to a brain cancer, my dad to Lougehrig’s Disease, and a 8 year old Nephew to a accident from jumping on a bed and falling hitting his head on concrete under carpet. all loved Jesus. I say this to say we don’t have all the answers about the things of God. But, if He is our creator and knows the numbres of hairs on our body, He knows when we need to come home. His home is paradise and its a place of no pain or sorrow. Maybe He was preventing something terrible for your son in his future. What is important is Jesus loves your son and you so much he died for you. Look towards your reunion and not back at the loss for it will be glorious. God BLess and comfort you!

    Nobody else can tell us how to grieve or how long to grieve. It is good to talk about it when you’re able to. A support group perhaps with others that have lost children or family. Praying for your peace of mind and heart

    We still live in mortal bodies. I had a faith crisis too when my husband died. My hope is the resurrection.

    God bless you sweet lady.
    Do not listen to anybody who tells you Satan took your child.
    Satan has no power over life nor physical death so Satan did not take your child.
    It is easier said than done in these hard times but try to trust that God is good and faithful.
    God always has a good plan. God bless you sister

    maybe that was your ultimate test or trial Job went through it only he lost all of his family and wealth, but he did not lose his faith despite losing everything else, my heart breaks for you, but since he was a good kid then trust that you will see him again and that at least he no longer has to go through the hardships of this world

    What’s YOUR TRUTH

    I lost my son September 21st of 2019 and I asked God why he would take him too. The answer I heard was “My ways are not your ways.”
    I have to be okay with this because God sees and knows everything we do not. God had his reasons for allowing my son to go at such a young age. I’ve asked God now for peace, healing and comfort and he’s faithfully doing just that for me. Yes, there are times when it’s still overwhelming but God carries me through. We may not always understand but God is loving and caring to heal us. Prayer for strength, healing, peace and comfort sent up for you in Jesus mighty name.

    Hebrews 11:1 Now Faith is the things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen.

    I think now. Means faith we have now. ( my Bible commentary says it means The title deed. Faith is no based on the senses, which yield uncertainty, it on the Word of God ).

    When we pray and get answers contrary to our expectations we usually get frustrated.
    It becomes a challenge and test to one’s faith. especially when you pray for someone you love dearly and see them die.
    The term certainty explains everything regarding what we hope for..
    Is my certaintity going to change the WILL OF GOD?
    It is my wish and will and desire that my son live..and not only that but I send a request to the ONE who said nothing is impossible with Him..
    Then the son dies at age 20 and it is not an easy thing to bear much as it easy to discuss.
    Why God did he die?..
    Losing a son at age 20 is not a only a test of faith but a trial of faith..
    Scripture experts will counsel you to read Scriptures that give you hope.. But usually a Los of a son makes one hopeless.
    David lost a son he has begotten through Bethsheba and inspite of his pleading with God with prayer and Fasting so the child could live the child died(stricken down by God)
    Before the child died David grieved a lot but after he got information the child was dead David ACCEPTED THE SITUATION..
    It is written//
    Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord , and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
    2 Samuel 12:20‭-‬22 KJV
    David worshipped…
    Perhaps my dear brother/sister who has lost your 20 year old son you need just to worship… instead of lamenting.
    God is such a good heart repairer for however bad or damaged your heart is God is always ABLE to heal it..
    Be close to Him not far… No amount if human compassion can heal you but one touch of His mercy and you will find your faith again..
    Jesus, His beloved Son and not only that he was His beloved but His only begotten, went to Him three times with a plea for mercy but He was quiet. Then the Lord Jesus told Him”Let your WILL be done”
    Plse give thanks to Him because his LOVE endures forever..
    Who knows what might have become of your son.. Who knows..
    May the Lord’s mercy and grace be upon you in Jesus name.
    Amen
