Update on my daughter 3/11 page 2

BenBow · March 02, 2008, 08:51:00 PM

Need your prayers for a couple. First our daughter in law left the family for another guy or two. She told our son she'd been having an affair for the last 4 years. She feels she has the right to enjoy life her way. She says she doesn't believe in God anymore. I don't think she ever really knew Him. Anyway our son and the 3 girls need prayer for protection from the anger and self centered decite of their wife/mother.

Second my daughter is having a lot of trouble. She's lost her place to live and has lots of trouble. She's bipolar and has many other mental issues. She's lost both of her girls and has a tendency to her self. So she needs lots of God's love and comfort.
Thanks!

ah brother, what a heavy load you've got! sending prayers up for your son and 3 girls and for your daughter in law. Prayers for daughter. That bipolar is such tricky thing to keep in balance. Tough stuff. Pray that the Lord lifts you up.

You are loved with an everlasting love and underneath are the everlasting arms...

Prayers for your daughter-in-law, your son and grand-daughters and your daughter and you and the rest of the family, this is a heavy load for all.

God Bless and Guide.

May the God of ALL creation find favor on you and your prayers and may He touch your family with his long hand of mercy and grace!

Good thing God never gives us more than we can handle... sounds like you, Benson come from strong stock in God's eyes!

May grace and peace abide with you and your family. May His holy comfort rest on your son and his children through this tough time. Only God can punch through the anger and childish behavior of your daughter in law...

May God show special presence in your daughter's life and help her and her doctors find that right mix of things to help her return to normal function.

We ask all these things in His holy name, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.

BenBow · March 03, 2008, 05:06:00 PM

Doc it's not that I'm from such strong stock as it is the pressure squeezing out anything that's not in His image.
Thanks everyone for the prayers. Sure help.

Doc Nock · March 03, 2008, 09:03:00 PM

Guess I was trying to lift ya up some bud...saying that if He doesn't give more'n what we can handle...then you must be able to handle lots cause you got lots and the Lord must trust your faith to be pretty darned strong.

Course, someone once preached that "when things start going bad... rejoice, it means you got the devils attention cause you're walking close with God and the Liar is trying to push you off the path!

Keep the Son in your eyes, Benson... Desert times are for a reason too!

Praying for you and your family.

BenBow · March 03, 2008, 11:01:00 PM

Doc I hope I didn't come across as upset. I was trying to add a bit of humor to the situation. Doc you have lifted me up thank you very much. It's great to know people care. The reality of my statement is the more of whats not Him in me is gone the more I'll enjoy being alive.
Love the warmth of the Son on my face and desert times have a season too. When the rains come the heart blooms.
Thanks again Doc I respect your insight as you've been through a bunch yourself.

Doc Nock · March 04, 2008, 06:44:00 AM

Alls Good, benson. Just realized that my light attempt at my own humor might not have been so clear... We're good. Always!

And as I re-read yours, I think He's done a lot to squeeze the ugly outa me, too, but it keeps coming back... :eek: "[dntthnk]"

Good thing He keeps squeezin, huh?

Jesus didn't promise us a rose garden in this life, just the Holy Spirit to be there to keep our heads above water.

Be like a duck...calm on the surface and paddling like blazes beneath!

BenBow · March 04, 2008, 08:02:00 AM

Looking forward to talking face to face in Heaven!

BenBow · March 06, 2008, 03:46:00 PM

Just received an e-mail from my daughter. She is now in a homeless shelter in another town. She is quite scared being alone and I'm 16 hours away and can't do anything. She says she's looking for work but hasn't been able to hold a job due to panic attacks. So life isn't looking too good to her right now. Please keep praying thank you.

Benha · March 06, 2008, 04:10:00 PM

Just saw this. Will pray everyday for you and yours.

Doc Nock · March 06, 2008, 10:21:00 PM

bless her heart, Benson. Gotta feel powerless, but I'm coming to realize more as I age that is perhaps God's way of helping us realize we ARE powerless...only He can fix things...

Prayers for the Holy Spirit to grab hold of her and help her through all this and bring calm to her storm.

monkeyball · March 06, 2008, 11:36:00 PM

Benbow,I can remember when my daughter called me and was very upset with a situation that was going on when she lived in O.K. I live in P.A. What a desperate feeling.I can say with 100%certainty that God was the only reason I got thru that without going crazy.I am praying for your daughter that she can get a grasp on things and hopefully get calmed down. I am also praying for you BenBow that you will stay strong in your faith and let God help you.He won't let you down. PRAYIN HARD IN PA
