Wow! That sounds a lot like what happened to me after my husband died. My brother moved in with his girlfriend and her four children and I couldn't get rid of them. He told me they had no place else to go. This happened even though my husband had refused to let him live with us with someone he...

I like Mr H59's comment "kill them with kindness!" Also pray for them. Obviously, they don't understand God's love and compassion if they are acting like this. They need Him. That would change everything and praying for them will help you cope with this and give you greater understanding of the...

I sure will pray for you. God promises to give us wisdom if we just ask, so that is what I am asking for you now. I am sorry you are having such a rough time and so glad that you know God is the one to go to.

You know, I was remiss in that last post. I need to remind you that God already has given you something good, in fact the best gift of love that He had in His possession. He gave you His only Son, Jesus, who gave His life for you. What better gift can there possibly be than that? See, He DOES...

It sounds as if you are just getting angry with me and I am just trying to show you the wonderful, freeing power of what I have learned by experience and through application of Scripture, not rote. I do not want to argue with you and I will certainly continue to pray for you. I hope that you...

I don't think you are understanding what I am trying to explain to you. Peace with God does not depend on your circumstances. Your words show that you are not abiding in God and resting in Him. You are wrestling with Him. It is like when He told Saul of Tarsus "It is hard for you to kick against...

Oh believe me, I do understand. I have been that desperate. Yes, I have 6 children. My oldest is mentally ill and struggles. I raised them alone after my husband died when we were young. You are doing and saying the things that I did and said and believed and demanded of God. I felt the same...

The thing is that God always answers prayers. Sometimes the answer to our request is "no." Sometimes it is "yes" and very often, it is "wait, I am working a plan." God has the answers. He knows our needs better than we do. He is trying to build a faith in us that realizes that. I learned this...

I absolutely will pray for her and for you.

I sure will pray for you. I will ask Him to comfort you and give you strength and wisdom. Do remember though, God has promised: "Everything works for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose." This even includes the things that seem unbearable at the time. God knows...

I certainly will pray for you and your aunt to have a sweet summer together. I think you are awesome in the way you care for her. What a special way to serve our Lord!
