Most people reading PITT agree they desperately wish they had no idea that PITT even existed but, given their dreadful circumstances, they are so glad it does. They are so relieved to have found a community where they are heard, welcomed, and affirmed. Isn’t that what are kids are looking for too? Tragically, they have committed themselves to a community that hears, welcomes and celebrates lies that lead them down a path of alienation from parents and friends to dependency on medication and dreadful surgeries to remove healthy body parts. Often these kids demonize “big pharma” and “the 1%,”, yet their choices are lining the pockets of those very people. Their lunacy, hypocrisy, and heart-breaking separation from devoted parents is absolutely heart-wrenching. So, while the PITT community offers consolation, often my husband and I still felt alone in our shared pain. And our hearts grieve for single parents who don’t have a partner to share the intense burden. Until recently…
A few weeks ago, PITT Prayer began meeting on Thursday evenings. Along with other desperate parents, we seek hope, peace, and even joy through prayer. Together we are waiting for our children to come to their senses. We pray for them to desist, to resist damaging their bodies, and to return home. And we wait. But we are no longer waiting alone. We eagerly look forward to celebrating victories together. Together, we mourn the dreadful decisions our children make. We can’t predict or control what is next in our own stories, but, together, we bring our broken hearts to God who made each of us, male and female, in His image. We pray for our children by their names - their real names - and we conclude with a beautiful blessing for each other and our children. Please join us! In the meantime, please be blessed.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord cause his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his face to you and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26

I signed up. My son, my loving , intelligent child, my anchor , has been lost for almost 2 years. Some days I feel like I am losing my mind.
I pray and I feel like my words just get lost as well.
While I am not directly affected by the trans ideology, it is one of the many reasons I have recently sought the comfort and grace of the church. We are living in such volatile times, and I knew I could not longer go it alone. My heart is feeling more peaceful now that I attend church and Bible study with friends who have similar values. I live in a very blue town and am surrounded by progressive people who not only cheerlead the LGBTQIA+++ movement, but who have nothing but distain and intolerance for others who think differently. From my daughter's (age 24 & 27) old preschool, FIVE girls have "transitioned" at some point during their teenage years, all of whom are championed by their parents and peers. My very dear friend just told me that her 26yo 6'2", 280lb, married son (who is also extremely intelligent, on the spectrum, and very socially awkward) is going to transition. Her only concern? That society won't accept him. Sadly, I can name at least 10 others directly affected by the trans cult. My heart breaks every morning when I read the PITT stories, and I get angry we everytime society continues to hurt these kids (ie. yesterday's CA hearing and rejection of saving girls' sports). I am with you all in prayer❤️
