Rep Power: 1 | | Continued Prayers Needed - Please I have requested prayer for my family and my daughter several times. Please continue to pray for my daughter. She is going through a divorce and she really just doesn't know which way to turn. I fear she isn't making wise choices. She has expressed to me that she really does want to get back into church; however, I don't think she is capable of even getting out of bed because she is so depressed. I have tried to intervene but she only becomes angry at me when I try to help. I'm afraid I'm not what she needs right now. I don't agree with her choices of friends and I feel they are taking advantage of her during this time of uncertainty. She has a good heart but right now she is just so angry at the world. Please pray for her. She has had emotional problems since high school and I just don't know what to do to help her other than continue to pray. Thanks in advance for all of your prayers. This website has been of great comfort to me. I trust God's plan and I am now at peace with whatever he has in store. My heart just breaks to see her so lost and so unhappy. |

Rep Power: 2 | | Dearryd40, I can relate to the pain of going through a divorce. It took awhile to get my bearings. I have accepted the divorce, as something that has to happen, as my husband had left three times, and was not a christian. Let your daughter know that in time things do get better. I still have some days that I am somewhat down, but no where near what it was at first. Please tell your daughter to try to get up in the morning, shower, and find a hobby or something to do to keep her busy. Your mind will drive you crazy if you cannot occupy it with something other than the re-runned thoughts 24-7. Tell her at first she may not feel like doing anything, but it does do you a world of good if you can get some relief from the thoughts in your mind. ***Heavenly Father you see this daughter who is in pain. God in the bible it says that you are our Father, and care for each, and everyone of us. I am asking you today to give this Daughter's Father some insight as to what he should do, and say to comfort his daughter. I pray that the Holy Spirit speaks through this Father, and to his daughter. I also pray that the Lord sends this young women some friends who will be able to encourage her both with her struggles of divorce, and be able to encourage her relationship with our Father in Heaven. Look down upon her tonight, and give her the peace of knowing that there are people on this prayer sight that care, and understand what she is going through. They also are pulling for her. Tell your daughter that Jesus is reaching down for her, all she needs to do is grab his hand, and follow him! Tell her that when you put Jesus first in your life, that everything else in your life falls into place. I know this from personal experience. My sister told me that I was trying to fill a God size hole in my life, that only Jesus can fill! |

Rep Power: 2 | | PSALM 73:25-26 "Whom have I in Heaven, but YOU? And earth has nothing that I desire besides YOU. My flesh and my heart may fail, but GOD is the strength of my "heart" and my portion forver." PSALM 145:18-19 "The Lord is close to those who call on HIm, Yes, to all who call on Him sincerely. He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears the cries for help and rescues them." Friend, I feel great compassion and hurt for what your daughter is experiencing in her entire being. Personally, I believe divorce to be one of the most crushing casualties of our time. It drains the life out of anyone who has to experience it, even when you are the one who filed. I urge you, as her mom, to pray daily for her in your secret prayer closet. There is no greater prayer for a child than for a mother to go to the Father on her/his behalf. Of eight children in our parents household, four ended up divorced and four are still holding strong. In all of this, GOD must be the #1 Source for Peace in the midst of this torrential storm. Pray for Peace from GOD. He will grant it to all who call on him from their pain and dis- couragement. These experiences/trials hone us as Warriors in Christ. They teach us well how to wether the next storm coming over the horizon and GOD has promised to walk through ALL of our storms with us if we let Him. It is these very trials that will reveal our true faith in GOD in ALL things, especially the ones that push us to the edge of insanity, but we don't go over the edge. We can't be pushed over the edge because of our FAITH in GOD our Creator. Father, In Jesus Name, if ever there was a time that this young woman needed You, this is the moment. She is in great despair and only YOU can bring her the Peace that surpasses all understanding. Only You can walk with her through this valley. Many people are praying on her behalf, and through our collective faith, we petition You to bring her Peace in this storm and rest in all of this weariness. We ask ALL in Jesus Precious Name, and because You said," Cast your burdens upon ME, all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Thank You, Father. GOD's Peace be with both you and your daughter, Friend. Thank you for calling on your #1 Source for your "greatest" need. |

Rep Power: 1 | | Thank you all so much for your continued prayers. They bring great comfort to me and I can see small changes taking place in my daughter's life. Sometimes it feels like she takes one step forward and two steps back, but I do see small changes for the better. She called and said she was going to church in the morning. Please pray that she does. Thanks again for your prayers. |

Rep Power: 2 | | Thank you Jesus for the blessings you are giving to ryd40"s daughter. Thank you for giving his daughter the conviction that she needs to be in church. I pray that the Lord blesses her during this church service, and any prayer needs that she may need be answered according to your will. ***To Father, and Daughter: Please try not to be discouraged when it comes to your feelings RE: your daughter taking two steps forward, and three steps back. As this is all a part of the healing process she is undergoing. ***I too, was very depressed over a break-up. At first Everyday was a bad day, and for most of the day. Then, I started to have times during the day, in which I was not thinking, crying, or just plain depressed about my sutuation. Then, I progressed to having one entire day without crying, worrying, and thinking about my problems. (I was not happy, and smiling, but it just felt good to have some relief from it all.) Now, I am not only having more good days then bad; I am having days where I am actually happy. ( Not just having days where I am able to keep myself busy enough, and keep my mind off my problems.) ***I said all this to say (to you, and your daughter) that each passing day will get better, and better. I want you to know that, in Jesus, there is more than just a light at the end of the tunnel. There is Joy unspeakable, and full of Glory. ***Your daughter will come through this, Praise the Lord! |
