mathew my prayer are with you. Several years ago one of my sons became mentally ill. This is a hard situation to understand. Reading your post I wonder this alledged bipolar was on set by the car accident? or what? Many people are inappropriately dignoised. A lot of research on the family's' part must be taken to insure the safety of the family member that is having mental problems. Otherwise they are thrown to the dogs. I would like to share with you a verse that has been a strength to me as I have travel through this maze with my son. I pray it will give you strength and comfort in knowing God is still in control. sincerely Peggy
Eph 1:12 for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ,
Eph 1:13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth's good news of your salvation--in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
Eph 1:14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Eph 1:15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
Eph 1:16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
Eph 1:18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
Eph 1:20 which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set him at His right hand in the heavenly places ,
Eph 1:21 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;
Eph 1:22 and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him--head over all things to the assembly,
Eph 1:23 which is his body, the fullness of Him who is filling the all in all,
please note: and all things He did put under His feet and did give him head over all things to the assembly
also the fullness of Him who is filingthe all in all this is very power!!! God Bless I hope you go back and read the chapter before it really is enlightening.
