The Disciple He Loves in OhioPrayers: 52Requests: 13
August 22, 2021 at 12:53 amI have asked for prayers in the past for my 15 year old daughter – thank you to all who have prayed. She struggles with her mental health and being suicidal. She also has issues with stealing and lying that have been going on since she was 12, even though she has known who she is in Jesus since she was a baby. I don’t know why she continues to steal and lie – we told her if she did it again we would call the police and press charges. Well she has charged 1200 on our credit cards but my husband is afraid to follow through because he worries she will do something to harm herself. He told me it will be my fault if we give her consequences and she kills herself. So now besides how difficult it is with my daughter, my marriage is also struggling. I desperately need my husband to be on the same page as me and for us to stand united in disciplining our daughter. We have 4 younger kids who are watching her and seeing that she is getting away with so much. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

August 22, 2021 at 1:36 amOur God can change anyone’s heart. I pray that this happens with your daughter. Still, until you begin to see the change in her, you and your husband may want to consider family counseling. Maybe from a trusted Pastor, or a Christian professional councilor. Sounds as though boundary’s need to be set. But, understanding the possibility of her harming herself if you approach her with the idea. It might be the wise thing to do, having a neutral third party get involved.
LORD, praying that You give these parents wisdom as to how to move forward. In JESUS NAME. Amen! 💓schavnerPrayers: 2259Requests: 3
August 22, 2021 at 7:21 amIf your daughter continues this behavior out in the world as an adult, the consequences will be much more severe than any consequences today. If her threats of suicide are real and not manipulation, have her hospitalized. You can just take her to the ER and go from there. I’ll be praying for you and your family. God does have a way through for you all. 🙏❤️
