Family

Please pray with me. I have a beautiful 20 year old daughter who is currently with a 30 year old man. There has been a lot of hurt with this relationship over the last 18 months (both for my daughter and myself). I don't feel comfortable with this relationship and I'm very worried for her. We were very close. I don't know if this relationship is meant to be....if it is I need help in accepting and understanding it. Her boyfriend and I dislike each other...he believes I am too protective (and controlling). I haven't meant to be but so many friends and family are just as worried for her and I seem to be the one who speak to her about our concerns. I want her to be happy and live a full life. Is it meant to be with him? Please pray with me that if it is - I accept the situation. If it is not meant to be...I feel she is getting in very deep (talk of engagement, marriage and he has recently bought a house and I'm worried she will move in with him). Please help me. I have prayed for guidance and support (and strength). Please, please help me. Please pray with me. Thank you.

Update - 2 months ago:

Please pray with me. I need your prayers for my beautiful daughter. She is under great pressure to grow old before her time, helping pay a mortgage, pressure to move in with her boyfriend. Please, please pray with me that she sees what is happening and is given strength to deal with it. If she stays with her boyfriend, I feel she will lose herself. Already she has no time or money to care for herself. I have tried so hard to respect her decisions and to respect her boyfriend. I can't help but feel this is so wrong for her. I pray for help every day that I won't argue with her or put her under more pressure. Please help me...Thank you

Update - 2 months ago:

Hi Kathleen, unfortunately no major changes. I think she is still paying money and buying groceries etc. She just seems to be very worried about money and has taken on a casual part time job on the week-ends. Works Sundays every couple of weeks. He also wants her to spend most nights with him, if not to stay the night then to come over and visit him because he gets lonely in the unit by himself. Naturally, I'm still very worried but trying hard to keep it to myself. She is also getting a small rash on her face which she got last year when she was still with him. It seems to be a stress rash so I'm assuming its got something to do with her boyfriend. I work with her so I know its not to do with her full time work and we are all trying hard not to upset her. I pray every day for guidance and strength. I am also wondering whether I am to blame in that I haven't accepted him. I'm not sure if its my issue or if I have made up my mind that I don't like him so feel the whole relationship is wrong. I honesty don't know anymore. Maybe he is good for her. You end up getting so confused...I wish I had the answers. Please pray for me..you do help me a great deal and I truly appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Thank you...xx

Hi Elizabeth, How are you? I Pray God Is Blessing You with Peace. How Is Your Daughter? Write Short Note To Catch Up Alright? All My Love, Kathleen

Mylight - 8 days ago: Hi Kathleen, things are still pretty much the same with Amy and I. She is fairly unhappy and becoming stressed (certainly is starting to make comments along those lines but then finds an excuse at the same time). I pray that she will find the strength to end it as most of the times that what she seems to want but is scared of being on her own. She is so young and yet seems to have so little confidence. She is just so unhappy. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. I ask if you could continue to help my daughter and pray for strength. Kathleen, I have lent on you so much and I am very sorry but I needed you. I hope all is well with you and I do pray for you. xx

Hi Elizabeth, Prayer Site Not Working Well. So Don't Know if You Will Get This. But I Am Speaking It As I Write. I imagine A Mother Inner Voice Has Reason To Worry. In This Case I Wonder Why He Keeps Her So Much To Himself And Does Not Embrace Family Parents So Forth. Does She Seem Happy? Of Course Taking On A Situation One is Not ready For Causes Stress. Dear Father Please Bless Elizabeth With The Answers She Seeks. In Jesus Name Amen. Father I Pray You Will Also Bless Her Daughter With The Wisdom And Strength To Know When And If To Leave. Amen. Please Always Come To My Page If You Are In Need Of Comfort Or Just To Remind Me. I Am Having Trouble Sleeping Of Late. So Mind Wonders. Yes Don't Joke I Still Have A Mind! Smile Kathleen

Well Elizabeth Seems Things Are Moving A Bit Fast Pace. Are They Not? I had Hoped They would Take Things A Bit Slower. But Of Cousrse He's Older. I imagine he has More to do with Rushing and not enjoying one another. It is a Shame she would not Explore her own growth while with him. Why would he not want that for her? If he indeed loves her? You are in the Middle So to Speak. Are You getting along with him better? Dear Loving God, Please Help her Sister and Guide Her Daughter to the Path You Have Made Just for Her. In Jesus Name Amen. Love, Kathleen I' ll Try to Be Back In A few Days So If You Could Leave an Undate. I Shall Read it Elizabeth. Love, Kathleen

Mylight - 3 months ago: Kathleen, you have no idea how much I look forward to hearing from you. You care for so many people and I'm sure they all feel the same way...you have such a generous spirit - thank you. I have felt your prayers for me and my daughter...I am also praying now that I can accept my daughter's relationship with her partner. I'm focusing on the good points about him as I agree with your advice...do not make her chose. With your advice and prayers, I am supporting her and am respecting her decisions. Kathleen..I honestly don't know how to thank you for your care. Out of a problem that I was struggling with, God gave me you and your wisdom. Just the fact that you care..you are one of the many blessings that I now thank God for. I hope all is well with you and your father is OK. I will say a prayer for you both.

Dear Mylight, We are forever Our Daddy's Little Girl. Don't let Your anger and fear. Push Her away from you or make her chose. In the end it is in God's hands. You can only Love her and give her guidance. I know you don't want to see her hurt. But that is the only way, we grow into our own womanhood. So kiss and love her and give a shoulder. Because God knows your heart and hears your prayers. May the Lord bless the prayers of your heart. Amen.
