Prayers please

Hi Everyone, I would appreciate your prayers. I have been really battling depression since my surgery. I am having a hard time getting my anti-depressant med down and I should be trying harder to take it. My 15 year old step-daughter is acting up. She is getting rebellious and doing whatever she wants no matter what we have tried to teach her. We decided to read her diary and see if there are any clues to her behavior and she wrote in there that she is going to murder me and my husband because when she gets out of jail nobody will be around to tell her what to do. She has started to hang out with some really freaky looking kids. They go to the church, but they all have hair dyed black and wear black clothes. I know that doesn't mean anything, but we have recently noticed these same kids don't actually go in the church, they just hang around outside during services. Jennie tried this but got caught so now we escort her inside and sit where we can keep an eye on her. She has a "boyfriend", even though she is not allowed to have a boyfriend at this age, who's dad just got out of prison and nobody will tell us what he was in for. I am really worried. My husband won't confront her with what we read in her diary because he wants to keep reading it to keep tabs on her. I think we need to confront her and get her into counseling. In the mean time I am locking the bedroom door at night. I also fear for my 13 year old son because she has always been jealous of him and claims we treat him better. (No, he just doesn't get into trouble all the time.) Please pray for our family. Bless you my friends, Sherri

God Bless You Sherri, and He also knows what you are going through, but you can not live in fear, it will grip you if you allow it. You must activate your faith and know that this thing can and will be dealt with. I will agree with you in prayer that your family will be safe and you God will keep you in perfect peace. I will agree with you that you and your husband will agree and decide how to handle your step-daughter. There is strength in numbers and the two of you working together will be victorious. You will come through this and you will be successful and you will be in good health. Begin to hold her up in prayer and pray that God meets her where she is and pull her out of the clutches of the enemy. She is only looking for her self. I know it is very frustrating for you. I believe that you will come out of this trial victorious, trust God. I will continue to prayer, let me hear the praise report. God Bless Dianne (Pastor Di)

Hi Sherri, I will say a prayer for you and your family, but know that your stepdaughter is not only being a typical teenager but also probably resents that her father re-married keep praying for her behaviour to change and GOD will take charge. GOD bless Peggy C

My heart goes out to you and your family. Did you know that they have a liquid anti-depressent you can take. Maybe you should talk to the pastor at your church about how the kids are just hanging. I just prayed and will continue to pray for this situation. Blessings Geri
