join me in prayer for my daughter

ARTSEA:
I have come to this forum many times for fellowship. I should have introduced myself but have put it off. I have been studying bible truths for 6 or 7 years. I now am so overwhelmed with one of my daughters and just need the support of others. She is an addict who has been clean for about 8 years. We have just found out that she is using again for this past year. She has 4 children ages 2-12 and her husband with similar problems has just left. I have prayed and sought the Lord over this with so many tears. I am trying not to let fear rob me but it has to be the hardest and scariest path to be on for a parent and grandparent. My husband and I have each other to fellowship with but thats it. We don't really know anyone locally that we can talk to about this. There is so much at risk with my daughter and grandchildren. My heart is breaking and I just pray that some of you that read this will ask the Lord to remind you to pray for all of us. I am seeking Him for a word that will accomplish what He desires in her life. Please help us however the Lord leads.

Hello there. I'm 21 and live in Baytown, Tx. My brother was addicted to pain pills, cocaine, and other drugs for a very long time, so I know what its like to have someone you love into those things. He also doesn't have much of a desire to study the Scriptures. I had peace knowing that our hearts are in his hand as rivers of water, and he can turn our hearts wherever he wills (Pro 21:1). That includes my brother and your daughter. God can turn your daughter's heart any time he wishes, but  you should have faith that God knows what he is doing and that your daighter is not resisting Gods plan (Rom 9:19). Its hard for a parent to accept that truth. My mom just cannot believe that God would plan such a thing for my brother. Its God's plan for millions to take drugs, live a certain way, die, and stand before an omnipotent God.....Christ. I've taken drugs plenty of times and now God has me where he has me. Its Gods plan for us all to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil somewhat differently. But its Gods plan for many to experience evil, liquor, darkness, impure fellowship, etc., in this age before they learn righteousness after death (Isa 26:9). I don't mean for any of this to be directed towards your daughter. I pray that God would give you a peace and joy knowing that he knows exactly what he is doing. Don't ever think that mabey there is a little bit of free will within your daughter. Her heart is in his hands.
