I come to seek the comfort of your prayers for my daughter who is in darkness. She has her lip pierced recently and now is about to have her tongue pierced, and refuses to listen to anything I say. She ran away from home at Easter to live with a woman who has no boundaries. Although I have tried hard to talk to her, at 17 she could not care. She is very abusive towards me. My husband is in denial and blames me. I believe she may also be using illegal drugs; she tells a lot of lies and seems to suffer short term memory loss. May God Bless each and everyone of you Karyn

Karyn,
I know that it's so difficult when we struggle with children who cross the boundaries we have set for them. I pray that God will draw your daughter near to Him, and that you will find wisdom, strength, and love through Him toward her.
I have been where you are and I do want to offer you hope. The piercings and such are just manifestations of her trying to find herself and find God in her own way. So often children realize that they are living their parents faith and not their own. The good news is that you have given your daughter and firm foundation that she will (we do have that promise from God, PTL!) come back to God but in her own way and own time. Just keep pressing in and running toward God and keep loving her unconditional...no matter what.
God Bless You!
I want you to know that I care for what your family's going through, and I pray God's guidance for each of you, to help you understand and deal with the outward appearance of inword unrest and confusion.
Only one advice about this. Anything you try to push, or force your daughter to accept, even if it's absolutely right, will be met with anger and resistance. She needs time and space to figure things out for herself. If her so called friends are like you think they are, she will eventually see them through. Give it some time, and keep on praying. God is aware of what you're going through. I had a grand daughter who died from a drug overdose. The last time I saw her a alive, I was so put off by her piercings and leather and metal parts of her clothing, I couldn't see beyond all that, and probably came across to her as somewhat self rightous, certainly not as caring as I should. Don't let all that garbage get between you and your daughter. Love, Judith.
Karyn, I admire your love for your daughter and your patience. You obviously haven't given up, and I trust that the Lord will honour this. I believe she will come 'home', as the prodigal son returned to his father. I pray that the Lord would strengthen you like never before. Just begin to praise Him for his amazing victory. Love, Melissa
Karyn, along with faith in God and prayer, please try to find a Nar-anon group. I have been attending for over three years and it is a blessing. Please feel free to contact me: megtell@bellsouth.net.
