Please pray for my family

Satan has attacked us viciously for many years and I don't fully know why, other than I seem to be more honest than other believers I've known. The attacks have worn me down and I beg God for help and none comes. I feel like what good is it to struggle to do right when all I get is more grief.

A "Christian" lawyer in town said something really nasty about my son because he had gotten in with the wrong crowd and was messing with drugs. We paid him a LOT of money to represent our son and he did a terrible job. Then...we found out it was the LAWYER'S SON who was selling our son drugs. My heart broke. The lawyer's son Jody caused so much grief for the town and a number of teens/ young adults died. But Jody was never held accountable: daddy is a lawyer and uncle a judge. He destroyed lives and went on to become a lawyer in daddy's firm and is sitting pretty while my son and others have records.

Where is God?

Then our daughter was driving home and got a flat and several state troopers pulled up and sexually assaulted her. It makes me SICK to even say it. For the longest time I couldn't even say it - admit it - I was too traumatized. I called our lawyer and he told me to drop it.

So my son has a record and a lawyer's son does 10 times worse and DOESN'T have a record.

So my son has a record and three state troopers sexually assaulted my daughter and NONE OF THEM HAVE A RECORD.

I learned so much these last several years. It's all a lie. The "justice" system is a BIG FAT LIE.

Cops get away with molesting a beautiful young woman.

I've begged God over and over and over and over and over to bring justice down on their heads.

Nothing.

How can you believe in a God who won't answer?

All the Scriptural verses that God will bring justice is a lie. He doesn't bring justice on anyone. Evil people masquerading as "hero cops" sexually molest - do whatever they want because they have a badge and God sits.

And sits.

And sits.

And does nothing.

How can you continue believing that the bible is true when everything is screaming that it's not?

I will pray for you and your family. Remain steadfast in your faith! That is most important! We can not always understand why God allows bad things to happen to good people, but we can rest assured that He can take something bad and turn it into something good. God IS A JUST GOD, and while we wonder sometimes, be certain that those who sin against God and His children WILL be held accountable, and that will be far worse than anything that man can do to us.

Pray a sincere prayer of faith, without doubt, and trust God with all your heart, mind and spirit. That would be my advice.

I know where you are coming from. We lost our son at age 28. I won't go into any details surrounding his death, but his life before the accident that took his life, was a long series of ups and downs, and much trouble. All I can say is for many years before and after his death I blamed God for not answering my prayers.

It wasn't until I turned to God and asked him to forgive me, and took the first step on the path of forgiving those that I blamed. It took a few years to forgive them all, but every time I forgave one, my life improved.

There is absolutely nothing that you can do that will change the past. It's not easy, but let God have your life, and your future will be much brighter. Ask Him to come into your life and your children's life, and pray for your future. Find a way to forgive. Don't suffer as long as I did.

You and your children will be in our prayers.

God never said He will protect us from every storm, but He did promise to be with us through them.

We live in a fallen, cursed world. It's not God's fault that man chose to rebel. And we are still living with the fruits of our rebellion.

I pray God will grant you and your family healing, fill you with His presence, and surround you with His love.

In Jesus name. Amen.

dear saintrose
You know one of the hardest things we are told to do.....is to bless those that despitefully use us and also to pray for them.
Love Your Enemies
27But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.…
It certainly in our eyes seems wrong, but since God said this, it's the best thing to do. This is truly a test of faith and I believe anyone actually doing this will be so blest.
My brother got my dad, who was a beautiful Christian man, to sign over everything to him by badgering him. Right before the recession ,my dad's home was worth close to a million dollars and I got a few thousand out of it. Worse than that, for some ungodly reason my brother made sure I didn't get any of the keepsakes or family things. What I got was the tail end of an estate sale, all broken and dirty stuff.
However, since then, I've forgiven him but am not required to socialize with him, and God has done outright miracles in my life since then. Something we know is that God is a rewarder of those who seek Him which includes being obedient. We are not to let bad people taint our minds but we are to 'overcome evil with good'. That is the only way for Christians to respond. Believe me, I know it's hard to forgive, but when we do God's Word, we will always triumph!
Find Scriptures that speak to you and when you have a negative thought, fight it with the Word, the 'sword of the Spirit'. Be thankful your children are alive, I have a 33 yr old darling girl in Heaven, and 2 other children I am thankful for.
If you want God's best for your family, and I know you do, start thanking God for His goodness and I will pray also, that The Comforter will touch the hearts of all your family with His peace that passes our understanding.

I watched a show where a young girl from Guatemala was told that she would go to work as a maid in America (It was a Mexican woman who recruited young girls) When she got to Texas the Mexican woman used her as a prostitute against her will. She was raped about 100 times a day they said. The young girl was formerly devout, but said that she no longer believed in God because of what happened to her.

Don't you think that every night as that young girl cried herself to sleep she begged God to help her?

But couldn't we say: We were PUT in a fallen, cursed world. It's not our fault that God put us here.

Do you know Joyce Meyer, a leading female evangelist/author happily married grandmother? All her childhood her birth dad sexually molested her. She said at night she would ask God for help but nothing changed til she moved out. She was a Christian and kept telling herself 'someday I'm going to do something great'. Now, billions of people around the world hear her and her story of determination and faith in God. She forgave her dad and put him in a senior care with her mom. Her dad finally accepted the Lord and told her how sorry he was and her mother explained she didn't want their reputations ruined at the time beside being afraid of him.
She had a choice to blame God and have a miserable life in depression or to trust God's plan for her. She jumped into a marriage where he would cheat on her and just leave her stranded with a baby. After a divorce, she met the perfect guy who asked God for someone who he could help, lol, and that's what he got.
There are people here on the West Coast who asked why God hates them, due to the worst fires ever, wiping out wineries and homes. Why don't they blame the enemy of all of us. Jesus warned us times will get worse and we must be prepared to trust Him in everything. Look at Jesus on the Cross. He said Father forgive them for they know not what they do. I've seen mothers of children who were murdered, forgive the murderer. It's what God tells us what to do, AND when we are obedient and trust Him, we will be rewarded.
The other route of living a life forsaking God is what the enemy would love us to do. I'm so sure that if you started just telling God you're sorry, if you said anything against Him, and asking Him for His Holy Spirit to bless your family and heal the memories, He will. He is good and that's for real and the enemy is a deceiver.
Force yourself to do this and be blessed, and see how much better you all will be. I'm praying for you and your family.

Thank you for the kind encouragement. I've been in a really dry desert time. Maybe it's another time of testing but I've been tested until there isn't anything left.

Scripture says "When the wicked are cut off you will see it." But I don't see it. That's what troubles me. My husband pointed out that I believe God is there even though I don't see Him, and that made sense. I hate injustice - I told God that He put that strong desire for justice within my heart but yet He doesn't show me it.

Yes but Joyce Myer - if her story is even true, which I doubt, is big time into money. I read some bad things about her and I can't say I trust. her.

I'm just at an odd time in my faith. Tired I guess.
