Guidance

I really am struggling to keep my 17yo in school. He just doesn't go. I have tried a lot of techniques but don't seem to get anywhere under my own strength and authority. It feels like an impossible battle EVERYDAY. Lord please I know that with your power and strength he can turn around this behavior. Give me the wisdom to know when to let go, when to discipline, when to let him accept the natural consequences for this behavior and when to impose additional consequences. Help me to know how to counsel him and guide him to motivate him without discouraging him and most of all Lord surround him with your host of angels and give him Your Spirit to guide him to do what is right and pleasing for you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
