Hi DP,
You and your daughter Brittany are in my prayers.  I went through this with my daughter Heather for many years she is bipolar and was extremely self destructive,  Always remember God is good, God is faithful and God keeps his promises.  These are the lessons I learned with my daughter.  When she ran off many states away from me I fell on my knees and prayed to God "your will be done Father"  for I knew that his will would be better than even my own could be.  I learned that my worry and anxiety over her and the situations that were continuously going on was me not trusting the Lord to care for the child he blessed me with the responsibility of caring for.  I completely fell apart.  My bills were sitting in a laundry basket and my house became a shambles, it was amazing that I kept my job.  I was being tossed to and fro in the waves of the storm, not understanding the authority the Lord had given us as his children to walk in peace and have Jesus calm the storms.  I learned from watching CBN to pray unceasingly for my daughter and instead of crying on every shoulder at work, I learned to speak in confidence that she was in Gods hands and that she will be okay.  I literally prayed for her through my days as I worked as I walked down the hallway at work, as I drove to work and anytime I felt that spirit of fear creep up on me.  God has a plan for her and you.  I mailed my daughter a bible, that she now reads all the time and she told me that she did read it and that she knew it was God who freed her form the chains that were holding her.  She came home within a year and I was blessed with a grandson.  The Lord has blessed me with watching her become a beautiful mother and an impressive young christian woman of God.  God never fails.  I never turned my back on her even when she stole from us, and put us in danger, that would have ben satans goal.  I did my best to show her Gods love and forgiveness, our Father is merciful and full of grace.  Praise the Lord!  I had to fight with my husband constantly telling him that God never turned his back on us.  Jesus loves you DP and he is there with you.  Jesus loves Brittany more than even you can.  Sometimes in trying to save our children from falling to fay we intefere with Gods plan.  I will keep you and Brittany in my prayers until you tell me she is saved.  Keep reading the story of the prodigal son, and remember what Jesus said those are forgiven much, love much, those who are forgiven little love little.  Brittany will be truly blessed as she comes to know Christ as her savior and you will be blessed as you see the move of God.  I have no doubt that if God did not love me first and help me to know him, I would have been lost forever in that storm.  I also learned a lot about how God must feel when we go astray, by seeing how I felt when my child went astray.  God is in control and he is certainly mighty to save.  Brittany is in the best hands possible and is a blessed child, because God loved you first.
 
Love Your sister in Christ,
Debbie
