My mom and dad are having issue right now as a Christian and a teenager what should I do. I have prayed but how can I approach them to talk about it.

Just my thoughts:
Donāt, unless it goes on for a while, then let them know how it is effecting you. Donāt offer advice or show anger. It is their marriage, and if they are upset, they may view your entering the situation as disrespect, so be mindful that they may see their problems as embarrassing.
Pray for them. Keep your self occupied with activities that may distract from their issues, and try hard not to take sides.
I will pray for you as you walk through this troublesome time. .

I totally agree with Historyprof. I would also advise that you donāt talk to them at all unless God leads you too. My pastor told a story about a couple that was having marital issues. They spent 2 years trying to find help through marriage counselors, different programs, and retreats. But nothing helped. They were just about to give up when they decided to go to a pastor. After telling them their problems, he asked them this, āDid you take the āfor better of for worseā vow?ā āYesā They replied. āWell,ā said the pastor, āThis is āworse.ā Pray, ask God for strength, and donāt give up. Heāll get you through it.ā The couple later said, āThat pastor did more for us in 5 minutes than all those counselors did in 2 years.ā Iām not sure what the outcome of your situation will be, but I do know that God knows how to make it work for His glory, and your good. Keep pressing in Hedz. Heās right there with you. Iām praying for you. He will get you through this. And He will use your testimony to encourage others. Hebrews 12:1-2 says, " ā¦And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside Godās throne.
