My prayer request is for my son. He is suffering from anxiety that manifests itself in Social situations, especially when it comes to sitting down to a meal together. It doesn't matter if it is a home meal or in a public setting, but when he receives his food he is unable to move forward eating it. The feelings of anxiety are so extreme that he feels overwhelmed and incapable of relaxing. It is not an eating disorder because when alone or with his wife he is able to consume his food. But when it becomes a social situation he locks up it is unable to proceed. We recently spent some time in the outdoors on an overnight kayak trip and he shared his very heavy heart and his feelings of overwhelm. He feels broken and is battling feeling ashamed and it breaks my heart. On the way home from our trip we listened to the first sermon from Pastor Allen's series, the untroubled heart. After spending time with him on the beach and listening to the sermon on the way home he had a little bit of relief and some hope. He wants healing and is hopeful for the first time in a long time. Thank you for your prayers.
