"prayer needed for my daughter"
Hi everyone......Please pray for my daughter (27 yrs
old). I have been praying for salvation for years.
Growing up she was very
rebellious. I have 4 other daughters who are serving the Lord and
they have been praying for her as well. She is in the partying
lifestyle.
At this point she is a functioning alcoholic. She has been able to
keep a job but her personal life is a mess. She has a 5 yr old
son whom
I babysit while she works because she cant afford daycare (father doesnt
pay child support). She is no longer with her son's father but he
has him one nite on the weekend. He too is an alcoholic.
The boyfriend she is with now is an alcoholic too. Their
relationship is very
dysfunctional...verbal and physical....They have been together on and
off for 3 years. His employer is sending him to another
state for
one year and he wants her to go with him. I'm very concerned
for my grandson. When we have my grandson we as a family pour
into
him....praying over him ...telling him about Jesus. At times
my daughter seems miserable but other times she says she loves her
lifestyle. I am feeling very discouraged right now.
Over the years there has been times that I thought she was close to
giving her life
to God but then she will turn away and continue on her path of
destruction. Yesterday as I was praying the Lord revealed to me
that
those times that I thought she was close was really her wanting God to
fix the mess she had gotten herself into. It wasnt about
repenting. So please pray for her. I believe time is
short. I wake up every day thinking today may be the day of our
redemption.
Also I just want to say how much I enjoy this forum.
And I appreciate John and all that he does. And to all the others
that post articles.
Thanks again. Sherry B
