Please pray for my 17 year old daughter's safety, that the Lord is watching over her and protecting her from harm. I just filed a missing persons report with the Columbus Police Department about an hour ago, when it became apparent that I was not going to get the usual call from her letting me know where she was.
I left for work at 10:45 am and the last thing she said was that she was going to get her hair cut. No e-mail, no phone calls to me throughout the course of the day, which struck me as odd, because we hadn't had any harsh words and life seemed to be great. I got off work at 9 pm and she wasn't home, which isn't unusual because she spends alot of time with Young Life. Hours passed, no phone call. By 2 I was nearly hysterical with worry. I have left messages on her friends' cell phones hoping for a call back. I am sorry to say that I was not able to give the officer a description of what she was wearing, only a picture.
This is SO out of character for this young lady. She's always been the responsible one, even though she has been suffering from Senior-itis this year and has tested the boundaries to the limit. I am so frightened thinking of the possibilities here that I don't know where to turn, and I would appreciate your prayers tonight. I am hoping that perhaps she told me she'd be sleeping over tonight at a friend's house, but I have racked my brain, and frankly, I just don't remember any conversation like that taking place. (I haven't had a day off in 3 weeks.)
Prayers for you, and your daughter. We are all with you on this scary ride, and pray for the best.
I join in your urgent and earnest prayer! Amen.
Thanks Eragon for the ping. I pray for the safe return of the young girl may she be unharmed and just forgot the time and is now just nervous of contacting her mum. Prayers from England to you my dear fellow freeper.
Have a seventeen year old daughter. Prayers sent heavenward!

Prayers sent. Am monitoring this thread for updates.
Who is helping you? Can we do anything to help you?

Prayers for your daughter's safety and your strength.
What's the latest? Are the police taking this any more seriously now?
Yes! Is there anything that can be done, as we pray?
I would help physically, if I was there.
God bless you, honey.
May you be strong and comforted by the love you find here on FR.
