Hello everyone,

I am a new member with my first prayer request. I am a single mom of 5, 3 girls 23, 21 and 16, and two boys 14 and 10. I have stumbled throught the last 4 years since my 2nd husband and I were separated. Without gettting into too much of what has happened these last 4 years, I am asking for guiding wisdom from you all. My 21 year old does not trust my judgement in making good decisions in regards to the 3 younger ones.

On Monday, I did some laundry for a friend and brought it back to her after the kids went to sleep around 10:30 p.m. and sat and talked for a while with her and on the way home, I noticed I had missed a call from the house phone. So I called and my 14 year old answered and said that someone had tried kicking the door in to the house. I got there the cops were called, and they did a perimiter search and found no evidence to support maliciouse activity to the surroundings.

Then last night, my boyfriend and I went to a club for a concert and didn't get out til 2 a.m. Again, I left the phone in my car and noticed I had missed calls from home. So I immediately called to check on the kids. My 14 year old said that someone had again tried kicking in the doors around midnight and wanted me home quick. He said since he couldn't get ahold of me, he called my 21 year old and she was LIVID that I left them home alone knowing that someone had already treid breaking in 2 days prior.

She is calling child protestive services to have the kids takien away from me and says that I will NEVER see my grand-daughter again. I told my boyfriend that if leaving him was the first step to getting my daughter's trust back then so be it. No man is worth losing any part of my family. He was the one who wanted to go to that concert not me.

Again, I am despirately seeking and words of wisdome and advice to help me and my kids walk better in God's graces and get back the trust I have lost with my daughter if at all possible.

I ask this in Jesus name -Amen

I don't know your exact situation and you can correct me if I'm wrong- but it just might be that your 21 yr old wants to feel love & attention from you.
Father God, we just pray protection and your favor over this household. Remove anything not of you, anything negative. Remove anything that hinders her relationship with her children. Work your power so that this family will learn to bend, make sacrifices, to love each other and to trust one another. And change her Lord, continue to change her so that she'll become more and more like you. Help her children to see you in her, and that they'll treat her the way they should. We thank you for what you're going to do with this family. We pray all these things in your name, amen.

Hi,

Welcome to Christian chat and I hope being here will bring blessings to you from all our prayers.

I am not perfect and I will not judge you, I believe that you did right by telling your boyfriend what is priority right now and I hope he can accept that and help you with your situation. Who knew someone was going to try breaking into your home the first time? After that, I would be scared for my children, if I had any, and would live them with a responsible adult or take them to someone's home to be watched, anyways I know by now you are taking more precautious steps after the second scare.

I will pray for the protection of your home and family, let's start with praising the Lord for not allowing anything bad to happen from the start. I don't know how your spiritual walk with the Lord is but remember that there are evil spiritual forces in this world that is the Devil so we need to pray the Lord to help us do what is right and do His will so his protection can surround us and to keep the Devil and his evil angels that were cast out with him out of heaven away from us :)

Dear Father, Please guide "noname" down the path you want her to take, protect her home and her family, give her wisdom to know how to deal with her older daughter. Touch her daughter's heart so she does not stay angry with her mother, instead show love, support and kindness in situations like this. Thank you Father for being who you are, we are blessed. We ask in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
