While that sounds good, it’s a lot tougher than it looks. as the parent of an 11 year old who is being treated for anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia or bi polar disorder (they won’t diagnose children until late teens), all we can do at home is live a good clean Christ centered life style in hopes that she sees this.
However, this child will do whatever it is she is feeling, regardless of the outcome. She can sit down with any psychiatrist or behavioral psychologist, and has multiple times, and can tell them exactly what she did wrong, cite the house rules verbatim but cannot for the life of her stop herself from repeating her same actions.
So the only thing we can do is pray for her, and the strength for ourselves to continue with this situation on a daily basis!
My prayers are with you. May God bless your efforts. My 22 year old was much like your 11 year old. And we prayed and trusted God as you are doing. Our daughter is still struggling with issues, but we love her and are proud of all she’s overcome.
I pray for your daughters success.
God bless you and your daughter.
Williams was sick. He had a brain illness. His body is hardly cold; a little compassion is appropriate.
As for his eternal destination, we can guess but we just don’t know. No one can say that he didn’t cry out to God in his last agony and receive mercy.
I pray for you, your family and in particular, your dear child.
