Prayers for daughter
6/1/03 | Pops88

Posted on 06/01/2003 1:49:32 PM PDT by pops88

I'd like prayers for my 17 year old daughter. She lives with her father in the US, and I'm in NZ, so I can't do much but pray. She was in a minor auto accident on New Years Eve, she had been drinking, but wasn't the driver. An hour after she called and told me, I started miscarrying at 7 weeks. Since then, she's become very depressed and alludes to suicide. She's been put on an anti-depressant and is getting counseling. The worst of it is that she's suddenly decided she doesn't believe in God anymore. I was devestated to hear that. She can't stand any mention of Jesus and won't talk to me if I make any mention of God or Jesus. She needs some serious warfare and deliverance. Please remember her in your prayers. God Bless you.

Prayer to Claim Someone for Christ

Heavenly Father, I ask you in the Name and through the Blood of Jesus Christ to rebuke satan for taking captive that which is Your creation. And I ask You, Lord Jesus, to place Your crown of thorns around _________, and draw her to Your Sacred Heart under Your mantle of love. Mary, our Mother, we seek your protection and intercession with your Divine Son, for her. Amen.

I will also say the Divine Mercy Chaplet for her.

The circumstances aren't clear. Does your daughter blame herself for your miscarriage at 7 weeks because of the wreck? If so, someone should tell her that miscarriages are unfortunately all too common and it had nothing to do with her circumstances. We've had two early miscarrages, two successful pregnancies, but the two that weren't born alive are in God's hands and we will see them one day.

Your daughter needs help, I'll pray for her and maybe she could return to you in NZ. God protect her and curse that demon of suicide off her.

Prayer to defeat the work of satan

O Divine Eternal Father, in union with Your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy--the evil spirits.

Cast them in to the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever! Take possession of your Kindgom which You have created and which is rightfully yours.

Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take. Amen.

It is a Sunday afternoon and a lot aren't around, but may God put a hedge of protection around you and your family.

I have an irritable uterus and was on bedrest for my whole pregnancy with my last child. Any activity or emotional stress (even if I didn't feel particularly stressed) started contractions. I explained that the pregnancy terminated probably a week earlier judging by HCG levels. I believe that she is harbouring a lot of guilt because of the correlation to my previous problems with an irritable uterus and blames herself regardless of reassurances.

God surround your daughter with angels. God protect her and bring comfort to you.

Prayer bump.

What's her Dad doing to intervene right now? He needs to do something. In depression, the body's energies and chemical balance are not working properly. This affects the mind, body and one's capacity to think clearly and make sound decisions. She needs help in both the physical and spiritual realms.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in Battle; Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl through the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

Prayers offered for your daughter. I know this is hard for you, but if you stay strong yourself it will probably do a lot to help.

Also, it sounds like there may be more to this than you might be aware of -- you need to find out about her home life, school, friends, etc.

Prayers going up. Must be in the air. 'Severe depression is going around. When that deep in dispair medical help is IMO the first step while we all are praying. Counseling will come but getting out of the suicide mode is priority. I guess now I will take my advice and force myself out for some fresh air in the morning along with my meds. : )

My Mass and Eucharist tomorrow will be offered for your daughter and you as well. My daughter had a miscarrage at about the same time in her pregnancy recently. Although we know the baby is in God's Hand, our hearts still ache.

May God bless and heal,

My daughter's name is Abby. I doubt that her father is doing anything. She has a very large extended family close by in the same town with which she keeps close contact. She also has a part-time job and seems to be involved in social activities with friends. She doesn't seem isolated. I think a lot of her behaviour is aimed at me. She's angry that I'm so far away. She wants to see me, but doesn't want to leave her friends, and I can't travel there right now.

Fervent prayers have been sent up. I pray that God reveals Himself to her in some way that she may know of His love.

Blessings,
