GOD GRANT ME SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN, AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME. ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME. ACCEPTING HARDSHIP AS A PATHWAY TO PEACE. TAKING AS JESUS DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT. TRUSTING THAT YOU WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT IF I SURRENDER TO YOUR WILL. SO THAT I MAY BE REASONABLEY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH YOU FOREVER IN THE NEXT. AMEN

Please pray for my 17 year old daughter. She has decided to become involved in a gay relationship with someone. She does attend church regularly. She is a terrific kid. Pray for the Lord to guide her into making the right choice in this situation and to always trust God in times of need. There is a gay group that has formed at our local high school. This seems to be getting out of control. They think its cute. Lord please guide these children into the right direction. Lead them to You and deliver them from this evil. Give them the strength to follow Your path. Amen

God sent me a message to share with my daughter about heaven and hell and about eternal life for her soul. I wrote her a letter asking her to read it with an open mind and a good attitude. It really addressed sin in general. She read it as I asked. Now I ask for prayers that she accepts this message and begins to resist this evil Satan has her involved in. Please pray for to be strong enough to resist this temptation and to turn to God.

My daughter has taken a few steps back. Please continue to pray for her to have the strength to move away from this relationship permanently. This girl is very manipulative and my daughter keeps giving into all of this manipulation. I know that God is making us stronger and that with each step back he is testing us to see how we will respond. I will never give into this evil. I rebuke this evil out of my house, out of my life, and out of my daughter's life. I will always love my daughter and I will always pray for her to make better choices. I will always tell her to follow God's path. Please pray for us. Amen

God is moving again in my daughter's life. She is spending more time with her other friends. She also told me she is going to the prom with a boy that has been trying to go out with her for 3 years. He is a very good kid. I taught him when he was in 3rd grade lol. Anyway, Thanks for all of the prayers. God is definately showing Satan who is in control. He is not letting the evil one hang around for too long. Thank you God. We love You, God. We praise You, God. You are awesome.
God bless you all and have a happy Easter.

Pray for God to guide us into making the right choices regarding my daughter. She wants to move out of our house and move in with her cousin. I think God has sent my neice as the positive influence we have all been praying for. They would be living in my mother in laws back yard. My sister in law lives next door. I think God is opening up this opportunity for her to get out of this small town and away from her current situation. My neice will begin attending college in August but my daughter has another year left in high school. She is very mature and responsible. I would not have to worry about her getting herself to school. I'm praying for guidance from God to show us the right direction to go with this. Thanks so much for your advice and prayers.
4/23/08
Please pray for my daughter to continue attending church services. God is working in a big way in her life. I pray for her to realize that these good things are a gift from above. I pray for her to open her eyes and her heart to the good things God is doing in her life. I thank God for allowing me to raise this wonderful child of his. She is a true blessing to my life. I continue to pray for the wisdom to be a good parent to my children. I pray for God to guide me through daily decisions and life's challenging moments. Amen

Satan is trying to move in on my daughter's life again. This negative friend has been trying to interfere with her mind. I told her that she was committing an immoral sin when she did certain things with this friend. She is really mad at me now and hardly speaking to me. I felt like I had to tell her this in case she didn't know it. She told me that I really hurt her feelings when I say things like that. I know that God is in control but it seems like Satan is winning right now. Dear Heavenly Father, please guide my daughter into making wise choices when it comes to this relationship that is against You. Place her onto the right path. Take her by the hand and walk with her side by side so she will not fall off again. Thank you for being with her, helping her, and guiding her. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
REBUKE THE DEVIL IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRSIT OF THIS GAY RELATIONSHIP AND THIS LIFESTYLE AND RESTORE WHAT GOD CAN ONLY DO.
I ALSO ASK THAT THIS FRIEND BE RELEASED FROM THE GRIP OF SATAN SO SHE CAN ALSO BE FORGIVEN AND BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD.
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AMEN

Counselling started today. She felt good about the session and is looking forward to going back next week. I read today that I don't have to keep asking God to come down and help my family. He is already here. I just need to ask for wisdom and possibly understanding. Thanks for all of your encouragement and prayers. You all mean so much to me. God Bless You!

I feel like I'm waiting by the gate at the top of the mountain for God to guide her back home.
