I come from a very close family so it not that easy for me. I worry about all the dangers out there for young girls and I don't want to live a life without being in contact with my family. That's not an option for me. God will restore us it's the waiting that is hard.If your daughter has chosen to be estranged, that's her fee choice, so why worry about it?
I've been estranged from my sister, nieces, and nephews for many years because we're on different wavelengths with not much in common, they happily live their lives and i happily live mine..
What do you do in the waiting period on God.

Me and my dad hardly spoke a word to each other in the family home for the last 15 years of his life but it never bothered me in the least because he had a nasty side to him.
For example he used to criticise me for buying plastic model kits, he said "When are you going to stop wasting your money?"
Huh, perhaps he'd have preferred me to join the local street gang and run riot with them instead of sitting quietly up in my room building models.
Perhaps when family members become estranged, they should look at themselves and realise which of them is right or wrong..
That reminds me of a woman on a Canadian farm I read about some years ago. After she'd seen her kids off to school in the morning, she used to stand at the window wringing her hands and fretting in case something bad happened to them, and eventually she had a nervous breakdown. and eventually died at an early age.
I don't know if she was a Christian, but christians never worry about anything and trust in God..
Christians, true Christians, born again, Spirit filled and in vital relationship with Him, have effectual prayer lives that speak His protection, provision, blessing and favor over their loved ones.
Those who fret may attend church and claim to be His, yet they may have arrived at salvation and rested there when He has so very much more.

know this: when God says, "soon" it means the event will suddenly arrive, not soon in time because God's timing is not of ours. (2nd Peter 3:8). indeed, waiting is 1 of the toughest issues to maste. no one likes waiting. try this: ask & forget!! super tough, i know. bout there's always 1 or 2 things that can solve waiting. every time you think about the waiting, wear a smile, be positive & have a few statements to recite to yourself, in comedy, that heals the pain! " i do not hate the wait, it bears no fate, cuz' i'm walking thru the gate"!
