ADHD

     This unfortunately uncommon condition affects more children that I would care to admit. Not only are our children having to deal with the woes of puberty, but are pummeled by the dysfunction of their brains and are mistaken for unruly, unattentive, disruptive individuals. Their attention spans are marred by anxiety and complicated by a lack of interest if the subject seems either tedious"or" boring. They can express bad behavior when confronted with certain situations, when actually they really don't understand why this is happening to them. Our structured society sees it as "just a bad kid", when in essence, it is a serious condition that needs attention and schooling to know how to deal with a child or adult of this sort. Many who have this condition are noted as extremely intelligent and unfortunately, again, society has deemed them as "certain types of learners". Low dopamine, a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain is a theory as of yet, which many therapists treat with medicine designed to placate the child to help them get through school. The poor things. My heart goes out to them as they struggle. As if life is not complicated enough...

     God in His gracious Mercy, can help one through this difficult time. Our prayers for the answers and care for this extreme condition are being heard and seen by the God of all who created us. In His image. I have seen Him work miracles on children and adults in these dire cases. More research needs to be completed though on yet another mystery of medicine. We cannot throw away anyone because of their difference in demeanor or physical disabilities. We must strive to include " all"  diseases and conditions of the human body as Jesus assures us "ask anything in My Name and I will give it to you".

Jesus, we are asking...
