Default Daughter searching for God

My daughter is at a point in her life where she is struggling with her christianity. She is going through a divorce and is the mother of a two year old little girl. She hasn't made the wisest choices in her life. She has struggled with a drug problem off and on for years.

She said she was going to Church last Sunday; however, she didn't. She told me she was going this coming week. Please Pray she does.

She also has so much anger in her heart. Please pray that she will turn all her troubles over to God. Also, please pray that only Godly people will pass her way and/or she will have the strength to turn the unGodly away. Please pray that the devil will not win in this situation.

I have read all of your prayers and I am so moved by the gift a lot of my prayer partners have. I just can't seem to pray like a lot of you do. Please continue to pray for my situation

Robin

Robin: I am Praying with you for your daughter. May she find God's Comfort in the mist of her storm. I pray that God will draw her close to Him and she surrenders to His Will in her life. Don't give up Praying for her to come with you to church. God Bless you for asking Prayer for her. ODIE

Dear Robin, i have prayed on your behalf.

How much of yourself and your possessions are you willing to surrender to Jesus and to obey Him if this meant your daughter's wellbeing? Frequently the wellbeing of our loved ones is directly linked to our walk with the Lord.

I learned this with my husband. Early on i tried to exclusively care for my husband, as a newly wed wife .... and it started to become a co-dependency problem that i could hardly handle. Then i decided to do a 180 and serve God more actively first and foremost and draw closer to Him, without neglecting my marriage, but it did not mean that i did everything my husband wanted me to. I only served my husband to the extent that it was sufficient in God's sight. It was hard for me. And my husband frequently reminded me that i "abandon" him. And 4 years later, i did not make a mistake in this change of course. First, God had told me early on that the wellbeing of my marriage was totally dependent on me, on my serving Him.

I want to encourage you Robin, to strengthen your relationship with God further, love Jesus, by being active in serving Him through serving those who are in TRUE need. Be willing to do foolish, awkward, un-cool things for His kingdom. Make it a proactive thing to gracefully bring Jesus into the lives of those who you meet and know. Do go to a church which is filled with God's presence regularly, be involved in corporate intercessory prayer locally, study scriptures diligently and consistently and in an organized fashion, pray continually. Use your financial resources for ministries that touch both tangible and spiritual needs of those in deepest needs. (All of this is based on Isaiah 58 - i encourage you to read it). Do not be ashamed to love Jesus with your heart and mind.

Default Thank you

Thank you for your prayers.

I am aware that my relationship with my daughter is somewhat co-dependent and that is an issue in which through God and therapy, we are currently working on; however, I still believe prayer is what my daughter (and I) need at this time.

My relationship with God has grown tremendously within the last couple of months. I know there is still a lot to learn and I am soaking up God's word.

As Christians, I know there is still a great deal more that we all could be doing and I am praying about that as well.

I felt from your reply that I was being "fussed at" for asking for pray. I also didn't understand the "TRUE" statement.

I hope that I never get to a point that I stop praying for my children or the children of others.

I do appreciate your prays and hope you continue to pray for my daughter. I read all the post her and have since joining and I pray daily for all the request even when I don't post and hope others do the same for me.

If I am missing the purpose of this site, please let me know.

Robin
