I need prayers for my daughter. She's involved with a dangerous individual with a child sex offender past. We are keeping this "relationship" in check, however because she is technically an adult we are limited by state laws. I want to be righteous in all of this and I'm really struggling to make sense of it all. I need the Lord and his arms around me to insure that He is in control and not me. I may not ever be best friends with this guy but I'm working on looking past the sin and seeing the suffering person. I don't want to judge him but he isn't all that repentive.

You are in a difficult situation. Are there any children involved in this relationship? First and foremost you need to protect any children and your daughter. I know she is an adult so just keep talking to her. Keep your communication pathways open. Let her know that you are there for her. Keep loving on her. Show her how men are supposed to treat women according to the bible. If this guy isn't treating her right, she will eventually realize it. Most women compare their relationships to a good familial one in their lives.
I will be praying that you have discernment, wisdom and guidance in this. I will also be praying that your daughter sees her worth and doesn't settle for the fake love the world is offering her.

Nothing unBiblical about judging someone who is in sin. It is condemning someone and/or judging someone for a sin we are not addressing in our own lives which the Lord tells us not to do.
Praying for you and your daughter's safety!
God bless!

Lord,
Please keep watch over John's daughter. We hope and pray that she starts to set good boundaries in her life and seek after healthy relationships. Anyways, just keep her safe, Lord. It's hard for a father to watch his daughter put herself in such a dangerous situation. So give him peace too, Lord. We pray this in Jesus' name. Thank you. Amen.

I will be praying for your daughter that she can get away from him and that the LORD will open her eyes. May he give you wisdom as well.

Tonight I ask for prayers for my mother she's hearing voices in her head supposedly due to a new medicine she's been taking. Everyone is all up in arms about this as we wait in the ER to be seen. The worst part of all this is that some people are twisting it around to make it out to be my fault. I really need prayers that I don't fall apart. Mother needs me to be strong and I need the strength of my Savior.

Praying too.
I just went off a so called migraine preventer b/c I and my family said it was making me manic. I feel calmer already.
Keep up updated.
I will say this, so many of these meds have so many dangerous side affects. And then when it happens, the docs and hospitals circles the wagons. That's what happened to me in August. Stand strong. And if need be, threaten to sue the doctor lol. That wake 'em up lol. I've read that over 30% of the FDA is supplanted with FORMER employees of big pharma.

John, I am praying for you and your mom. It is sad that some people respond to these things by laying the blame at someone else's feet. I want to tell you this....Thank you John for being a great son and taking care of your mother like you have. If you hadn't been there, things would have gotten worse. Nursing home staff are so overworked and used to this stuff that they wouldn't have taken this episode seriously. You are a blessing to those around you.

First I want to say thank you for all the prayers. Mother still doesn't have answers. The hallucinations are not medical as far as we can tell. She is getting off Prozac to be safe but hearing voices isn't a side effect. She is refusing to get checked out by the Crisis Center and they won't hospitalize her for her own good. I'm praying that she will volunteer to check herself in for an evaluation today. They think assisted living might be something down the line. For now she lost access to her granddaughter if she doesn't get help. It sucks for het but can't put the baby at risk. She's fighting me at every turn and I have to be loving but firm. Her brother is being??? (Mean is the nicer word) and wants to forget this is happening. I find It hard to pray for him Amy. Anyway things are better but getting worse if that makes sense. We have things documented but no where closer to finding answers. I'm seeking answers and healing for her and this family. It took almost 20 years to get things right for my daughter. We don't have 20 years for Mother. Please God, see to it that she's willing to take the hand that you have out stretched to her. Amen.

I will be praying for both of ya'll. How long was she on the Prozac? I can't take AD. I tried three for my fibro and they all three made me ill in different ways.
I'll pray she checks herself in. Did they do an MRI and a CT? Hearing voices can sometimes be a neurological thing.
And Good for you for being firm.

John it is difficult to say the least to pray for others when they are causing trouble and their heart isn't right. I know that first hand with Craig. You know what I figured out? Yes his heart wasn't right but neither was mine. Mine was full of anger, hurt and revenge. Know what else I figured out? Once I finally freed myself of those emotions I freed myself of constantly having to pray for him. Now I only have the need to pray for Craig when God puts it on my heart. I was having to pray for him every time my heart was wrong. So true freedom for me came by letting all those negative emotions go and praying for Craig with a right heart.
Uhh...your mom is on a psych med yet won't be evaluated by one? How did she get put on Prozac? Do you have power of attorney for her? You can have her committed for a short stay (it's 3 days here) if she is a danger to herself or anyone else. You would have to call 911 and get the police involved. However it would be easier if you had power of attorney.
I will be praying that she voluntarily agrees to get evaluated by a psych doc. You know she may be thinking that Psych doc and wards are still like they were in her day and age. Things have changed considerably since then. May be she needs some reassurance.

Mom may have dementia. For now her thoughts are slipping and we need to get her both short and long term care. There isn't much time and too many people to try and convince. Please pray God moves these mountains.
