My Daughters need Prayer//grieving my heart

Postby Hope7 » April 25th, 2007, 12:33 am

Please lift up to our Mighty God, my two daughters.

One is claiming she is bi-sexual, (shock and heartache) and the other at 16 has just been physically acitve somewhat sexually with her boyfriend.  They have been raised as Christians.  I can not believe the sexual culture they are growing up in, the immorality, everybody's doing anything, etc.

Sometimes it grieves my heart so deeply, because the precious Holy Spirit resides there, sometimes it angers me so deeply.  I need His Power, His Strength, His Wisdom to navigate thru. 
I use the analogy of an airplane, with my broken heart, an engine not fully functioning, I feel as if I;m flying with one wing.  And yesterday I sank pretty low, hit the ground, as I had to deal with the two, boyfriend too, about their ordeal.  I praise God I restored in the Spirit of Gentleness, but satan thru me a curve ball and I did end up getting upset at the end, but washed their feet in the beginning.
I see my youngest changing, from a truly sweet and innocent girl, to an unfortunately girl being more transformed by the world,  than her God. 
It's so hard for youth, to flee the sinful desires of their youth, especially in this world today.
Please pray for me and their stepfather, my husband, who tries not to interject to much, because their father is active still in their life.  Not in the way he should, but he's there and cares, and for that I'm thankful.
My oldest went with me to a great Christian conference, and I know the Spirit is pulling her back!  so I praise God, but again I need patience, understanding, strength to do this job, as I heard Eliz. Elliot say:  No, you don't have these things, but Jesus does,  pray with me to give me these fruits, and for them to be awed and amazed at their GOD, to fall in LoVe with HiM!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Abba, I so hear this Mama's heart cry. She is watching the beautiful daughters that You have blessed her with...Your gifts to her...falling to the wayside. Help her to leave them in Your loving hands...entrusting You to keep tugging at their hearts. You will never leave them or forsake them for You love them even more than she does. Give her Your Shalom...Your comfort...Your strength...as she keeps lifting up her daughters and trying to be the Mama they need her to be. Amen and amen!
Abi


God said it. He does not lie. That settles it!

:)Hope7,
                So many things in this world for kids to get attention with. When they are that young, they do not have a clue. The Lord is still molding us and I trust Him like you do.  Long time ago , my 16yr old son went to a "party" given by some other teenagers that we went to church with. Their parents were out of town, and I, nor them , knew of any party until the next day and a cell phone had been stolen. One that the parents bought them so the story of people being in the house while they were gone had to be told. So, hence the explanation of a party given without permission came out. Well, also next day, my son walks in stating he "found" a cell phone and had been using it. As us parents got our clues, I called the mother and said, with a mournful heart, you must press charges. I could not stand in the way of my son's lessons. The mother and I talked on the phone the day before she went to the police station. She was an older Christian than me, and something she said to me has never left me. While I knew the trial I was up against, crying and looking to her for strength in the Lord, she said to me that my son would live his life in jail and that he was a thief. 
Only now , 10yrs later do I realize the plan of our Father in heaven for us. It is in His hands, not the worlds. The world thinks they are in control...but everyday I know who is....like if it did not rain, how would we recognize the beautiful sunshine?  No matter what your daughters claim to be their identity or what the world wants to put claim on them remember this, they are still "in His hands"! And great things come from great joy AND great sorrow. Your Father knows the heart that beats in your flesh and your daughters and He knows the plans He has for all of us. I lift you up in His great Word that says , Yay thou I walk in the valley, YOU are there!  Consider your daughters in that valley , and be there like He is.
My son went thru a terrible time in his teenage years and finally did wind up in Brushy Mtn prison for 5 months, 250 miles away from his family. It is there that he met his Lord and Savior. Nothing I could have done to try and save him would have ever been as great as what our Father "knew" already....Mother to Mother, stay the course- I will love you and tell you that when they choose to go in a direction that we as parents have tried to teach them different, it says nothing about you as a parent, it is in His hands!!!! Leave it there...I only know now that I could have saved myself a lot of grief had I left it with Him.
In Christ to you my friend- thank you for the opportunity to go back and thank Him again!!!

Dear Hope7,
I am Faith (infaith). My mother-heart aches with you and prays for you. I can't imagine how much Jesus hurts with you for your daughters. It was these exact same hurts that took him to his death - but victoriously! HIS sorrow unto death was what made it possible for us to leave our sorrow with Him. He already took it and "it is finished". 
About a month ago, my heart was aching over one of my 3 children. I was using scripture to build my faith. I was offering the sacrifice of praise (and it is a sacrifice when I get so heavily burdened.) And of course, I was praying for my daughter almost constantly. I went into depression. And while I was praying and waiting on the Lord, it was like he spoke quietly to my heart saying, "I am going to take care of her (my daughter) and this problem. You must now go on to bigger things."
I answered, "OK, Lord I will pray for bigger things." I assumed that He wanted me to pray for the unsaved around me or the spiritual state of America or the abused and suffering children in the world or peace in Jerusalem, etc. And then in that soft conciousness of Jesus, I sensed Him speak again. "That's not what I mean by 'bigger things'. I mean leave ALL these things with me and just enjoy Me." Wow what an eye opener. Enjoy Jesus! - in the middle of the dispair I felt? - in the face of the horrors of evil I see and feel? Yes! enjoy Jesus. "Delight your self in the Lord" the Word says.
So I did. With His grace, I released my daughter's circumstances and the rest of the world to Him and just loved Jesus, just enjoyed that He loves me and I loved Him for dying for me and the world. The depression did not lift immediately, but the focus changed and I knew I was obeying and was on the right track. And my faith grew stronger. And my confidence that God would not let my daughter's life be destroyed GREW.

Hope, my name is Faith. It is God that gave us our names. It is He who fulfills the reality of those names in us. Faith and Hope grow and victory takes place in the mighty Name of Jesus in heavenly (spiritual) realms before we see the evidence in earthly realms.

God, please deeply bless Hope and bring our daughters to victorious Godly womanhood.

Love, Faith
infaith
