Please pray for my family and particularly my youngest son. He is 16 and has Down Syndrome. He sometimes loses his temper and he is getting really strong. A week ago he lost it and was hitting all of us. Luckily his hitting was open handed, so, although it really hurt when he hit me upside the head, it didn't cause any real damage, but he could. When he gets into a mindless rage, he doesn't care what he damages or who he hurts. We are at a point that when I am trying to not hurt him and he doesn't care if he hurts me, I will lose every time.

Pray for wisdom teaching and disciplining him. Pray that he would accept Jesus. Pray that he would have self control and not hurt anyone. So far the only people he hits are family, but if he hits someone else, he could wind up in jail for assault. I also worry that he could send one of us, most likely me, to the hospital.
