She looks at me like I am the enemy and accuses me of being the most strict parent of all her friends. Also, I know that she has been intimate with several boys, which breaks my heart.
My daughter has accepted Jesus and been baptised, but she has turned away from anything she knows to be right. I am so worried. I have tried everything I know but she continues to be defiant. I am a nurse so believe me I have tried all the love,understanding, counseling and psycology. I understand the teen years can be hard and confusing, but I am worried she may do something that will effect the rest of her life. Thank-You for taking the time to read this and for your prayers, My daughters name is Kendra. |
I've no idea why, but God does. |

I know the feeling, suzette. I'm a single mom with a teen daughter who was keeping some bad company last year. I tried everything, and prayer worked the best. God sent her a good friend who helped turn her away from the bad friends. She's now a happier person who is interested in good grades and good company. She even volunteers with me at the Humane Society on Saturday afternoons.
Last Saturday, she decided she'd not go with me. She wanted to see one of the kids she used to hang around with. I prayed that God wouldn't let it happen if there was any reason she shouldn't be around him. I got a call when I was shopping, and she said she wanted to go with me instead of seeing him. I've no idea why, but God does. Dear Heavenly Father, I lift Kendra and Suzette's needs up to You, covering them in protective, healing prayer. I know this mother's pain, frustration and weariness. Please strengthen her so she can continue to stand in the gap for her daughter. I ask You to station Your angels around Kendra as she goes through her day. Let them stop her from doing the wrong thing when she can't stop herself. May the kids who are leading her astray lose interest in Kendra. Remove all obstacles between Kendra's current bad choices and the girl You meant her to be. Separate her from bad influences, as far as the east is from the west. I ask You to reveal the truth about Kendra's current path to her, uncover that which is covered. Show her the true charater of these boys who want her to disrespect her body for their pleasure. May you reveal the truth in such a manner that it will be clear to all involved, especially Kendra. Replace the current "friends" with real friends, friends who are strong Christians. Bless Kendra with godly role models who can show her the joy of living life Your way. Give her lots of opportunities to enjoy fun, interesting activities in a Christian atmosphere. If money is tight, show Suzette where to get scholarships for such things. Please heal the relationship between this mother and daughter. Show Kendra that her mother does what she does out of love. Thank You for the work You are doing and will do for this family. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. |
