Prayer Request for my 17 year old Daughter's Safe Return (Update: Found Safe)

February 20, 2005 | me

[Sunshine55]

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.)

Sunshine55, My prayers go up for your daughter and for you. God's protection over your daughter. Lord, please protect this young girl. Surround her with your angels. Provide her family with comfort and peace. Take away their fear. Surround them with your love. Bring this young lady home to her worried mother. Keep her safe until she can be reunited with her mom. In Jesus' precious name. Amen

I did this once to my parents. Stay strong. God be with you.

Lord, have mercy on this mother in distress and keep watch over her daughter. Unite them. Heal them. Send Your love and Grace to fill their lives.

I'm praying for your daughters safe and speedy return home. God be with you and her at this time.

Oh Nooooo.

I hope she has called home by the time I have posted this Prayer Bump.

Hope you get a day off soon also for some much needed respite from work.

Prayers for both of you.

Dear Sunshine55:

You and your dear daughter are DEFINITELY in my prayers.

I "lost" my daughter over the summer for a period of ten minutes and it nearly drove me out of my mind. Little monkey went next door (I thought no one was home at my neighbor's house) and was playing with trusted friends the whole time. One moment, she was on the stoop next door, admiring their gorgeous flowers, and when I went to help her brother who had fallen off his bike, she rang the bell and stepped into the house. All *I* knew was that she was no longer on the stoop.

Hound the police. If this is out of character for her, and your gut is telling you something is not right, then keep at them until they take it SERIOUSLY.

Dear God, please bring Sunshine's daughter home safely!

Some very excellant suggestion and it will occupy your mind lessoning the worry.

When she does walk through that door will you give her a kick in the butt for me? And if she looks at you strangly afterward just tell her that was from oceanperch.......let her wonder.

[oceanperch]

That is a great idea, unathorized use of a vehicle is how it comes across the scanner here in my area.

[oceanperch]

Good one, that would be the Responsible Person listed with the police.

Do you have just city police or do you have County Deputies and State Troooper too......list her missing with all three if you do.
