I have a daughter who is 38 she is a christian but she had back sliden. She is trying to turn her life around but the enemy is throwing all he can at her so that she loses sight of the path she needs to go. She suffers with mental health problems so it is so hard for her to stay focused on the goals that she needs to follow. I pray every day for her, I had her living with me for 4 months but it was hard because I was praying and trying to show her the path she needed to go. God spoke to me one day and said just love her and let me do the work. So I started to do that but she left a couple of weeks ago because that is the pattern that she has developed when things get hard she cannot face them. I lost her father to cancer last August so this has been hard for all of us but I know that my husband is with the Lord. He came to Christ three weeks before he died and she was so happy as was the whole family was.
She wants to come back and stay with me, there is a big part of me that wants her back but I need God's wisdom and decerment not lean on my emotions but on God's will. I have five other daughter's who would not be happy about her coming back to stay because they feel I don't need the stress, but I cannot turn my back on her when I know that she really want's to change.

Lord, i lift to You marie's plea. You know her heart, and whats best for her and her daughters. Keep her strong in Your word and love, that the emotions will not confuse her abt what she ought to do in love. If her daughter does come back, may this be the time she truly turns back to You, so that there will be great rejoicing in this house. Thank You, Lord for hearing our prayers, in Yeshua's mighty name.

Lord let it be as you said, that is you will do the work. Help Marie to continue to love her daughter but to let go and place her in your hands. What you say, you will do so we pray that you will bring back Marie's daughter and help her to change her life and heal her of everything she needs healing of. Help her to recognise the lies of the enemy and to toss them aside only hearing and obeying what you say in the name of Jesus.

Tbh, I wouldn't let her back in. It follows that she will disregard any 'rules' you have established thus disrupting your home. I would help her find a facility that takes in people having mental health problems. There are many here in CA so I will pray for God to give you the wisdom to do what's best for everyone:).

I would like to share a update on the situation of my daughter, I have allowed her to come home because I believe God directed me too. I know that some will not agree but I know 100% it is the right thing to have done. She has struggled with issues since she was a child and because of things done to her made things worse. Before my husband died she took a overdose it is not the first time. I am the only one and my late husband that have stood by her and believed the things she told us. I have a very close relationship with the Lord and I know when he speaks to me. I do not lean on my understanding only what God tells me to do. For I know I cannot change or heal her it is only the Lord. She has a calling on her life but I know she has to surrender to the Lord. Mental illness on most part is not talked about or understood. I myself did not understand it but God has been showing, she has made bad choices at times which have made things worse but I have been called to be her mother and I cannot and will not give up on her. The Lord guides me and as long as I look to him each day he will direct my path. I pray that anyone that reads this do not ever give up on your children no matter what they have done. Fod God does not give up on us. He sent his only son to die on the cross so all may be forgiven and set free from the bondage of sin. He came to set the captives free.

I thank you prayers and I really appreciate them. Unfortunately here in England we do not have many facility's that are available, because of the economic situation in England funding has been cut drasticaly. Also because of covid many place's do not have space's. I cannot afford private I am a pensioner so I will do what is needed. God will give the grace to be used by him to help her there are other's involved who will help her but it will be by phone or video link.

If there are no available facilities I understand you not wanting your daughter to be out on the streets. I hope your other daughters get on board with you and pray her through, there would be so much power in those prayers. I pray for God's blessings on your family.
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. Psa 68:5:love::)
