Guide her in her life steps, especially just now. These are critical years and the influence from out of the home at the moment is not good. Please find her a special friend of a Christian belief and background who will honour her and love her for who she is. May Dad and daughter relationship be renewed and strengthened. Lord hear my hearts pleading. Amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your prayers I have a Son who has chosen death over life... the things of this world over the promised one to come. However we have The Father's promise through The Son of this 1 John 5:14 (KJV) [14] And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: [15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. Romans 8:28 (KJV) [28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. I will not doubt Him that has this testimony from The Son Mark 10:27 (KJV) [27] And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. We have the witness plus promise it is enough in all things here that come... Love, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was married at 18 and he was saved 11 years later after praying Lord, how long will I have to suffer for my sin? I prayed for his salvation for 4 years, day and night. We have been married over 50. Pray for his salvation as well. Pray that God help her to recommit her life to Him. Pray for God's will be done, and that He may be glorified in all of this. Gal 4:19 My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you! AMEN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned a 'family day' today - to just go out and do something normal. My husband point blank refused. I have had a lovely time with my daughter and she has been happy in my presence. My husband however has avoided me upon our return, failed to communicate with me, shut himself away - In fact has done anything to avoid being in the same room as myself. These mood swings from my husband occur all too frequently. [Another heartache of mine is that although we shall have been married for 25 years this year, we have not lived in the true sense of man and wife for 16 years. He moved into what was our spare room 16 years ago and has never expressed any love or affection for me since. I still don't know why he moved into the spare room. I have prayed and prayed for my marriage to be repaired but this with my daughter now .... I am not sure if I can take anymore]. Whilst I have fervent prayers for my daughter and her situation, I wonder if I still have the emotional energy to cope with my own situation....]. I feel like I just want to walk away from it all...

I feel a little calmer but so terribly vulnerable. My daughter has started to give me a hug again and to spend a little time with me. This is encouraging. My husband has not apologised for his outburst and emotional rage over the weekend but he has calmed down a little. I heard my husband and daughter speaking with one another briefly earlier this evening - baby steps. Thank you for your prayers for our family unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter has become distant as she spends more and more time with a boyfriend who is having a negative influence on her. Instead of being the happy, caring and loving daughter she once was ... she is becoming rude, secretive, selfish and unkind. I love her but I don't particularly like her current attitudes. Her Dad is hurting bad too. I am so very very sad. I don't know what to pray for anymore Does your daughter live close by? So that you can invite her over, just her not the bf? If so, invite her for a family dinner or something intimate. And then confront her and her attitude. Be loving but direct. Phone methods are bad because she can always just slam the phone down. But face to face at your home is more a direct contact so she can see and feel your emotions and sincerity. Being she's grown, over 18 I'm presuming, it is her life. Parents can do only their part in giving their best to raise their babies to adulthood. After that they enter the world that outnumbers family and good hearted intent and morals. However, if those morals and good teachings stuck they'll eventually lead her home. Right now she's enthralled by a bad boy. Some girls that were raised in a wholesome atmosphere look to see what that side is like. And unfortunately they find guys that they like that fit that particular mold. It is perfectly natural to love her but not like who she is right now. Do your best. She's responsible for her own choices. God be with you in whatever you decide.
