such great advice here,I hardly have anything to contribute! only this, God has promised to work out all things to our benifit because we are his children,a parent can do very little with a rebellious child,but nothing will be kept from you if you will trust in his promises and bring your will into alignment with his.the best place to start is by acknowledging this,and truly praising him because it's true!then,sit back and watch,and wonder,as he delivers a life far beyond your wildest dreams!
