need advice and prayer

i have a daughter who will be 20 in a month she just graduated from high school in june. she's only been with her boyfriend for a month and they are already talking about moving in together. i brought her up in church gave her the talk about pre marital sex being a sin. she knows right from wrong. besides all that i don't think it's a good idea for her to move in with someone she's dated a month. i really want her to be happy, but i also want her to be patient and trust that God will lead her in the right direction of the plan he has for her life. She is attending a local college in the fall and I really want to see her stay at home until she finishes school. she has our health insurance the va is paying for her school, she's driving our car, i've talked to her and tried to explain how much she has to loose if she moves out, and i don't think i got anywhere, i pray for her that she will make the right decision, i'm asking whom ever reads this to remember her in prayer that she will listen to God and let him lead her in life. Please also pray that he will give me the strength i need and give me the words i need when it comes to advising and giving an adult child the help they need without treating them like a child. Thank You

I will pray for her. God bless

My daughter just moved to New Mexico to be with the guy that gave her my handsome lil granson (see my photos) and everything inside of me screamed it was a bad idea. But.............But......that is where I have to step back. Our children have to learn the hard way just as we did. They will not listen to you because in their mind we are just trying to control them. Of course it will be years down the road that they look back and say "man why didn't I listen to you" I pray for you sister.

Thank you so much bekah it's always nice to hear from parents that's been there. it's nice to have other people to confine it. Thank You for your prayers.

Pray for strength and guidance from Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.


Explain to her your concerns in a positive way.

Example: Ask her how she will get to and fro without access to your car.




Nothing worse that when someone tells us, "you won't be able to" people respond better to questions of concern, instead of telling them the answer... "you can't afford it" use "how will you support yourself?"

You may have to let her go and learn for herself that it is a different ball game living alone to living with parents.

The last thing you want is to have her think you are trying to control her....


Glory to Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.

thanks love u r right I need to be positive and for the most part I believe I am. It's just really hard as a parent to let go sometimes especially when you feel by letting go they r not doing the right thing. Please pray for me as well that God will give me the strength and the right words. God Bless

Thank You ellie, for sharing your story about your daughter. That must be hard on you. I will be praying for her as well. I am glad that your other children know the Lord and love him. I pray that they will continue to live for him. Your prayers and advice are much appreciated. God Bless You

I certainly will my friend.

Your daughter is 20 and you care much for her, i know many that get turned out when they turn 16, I left 2 days after hitting 16....

It is wonderful to read your love for your daughter she is 20 and you still want her to stay...


You are right to express your concerns, it is just that sometimes well intended concerns can be took " trying to control me" ...

It may be that the idea dwindles when the reality kicks in...

Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah be your strength always.

As a Mom I know your struggles. As parents we can only tell them how we feel, and pray for God's wisdom for their lives.
You have trained her in the way she should go...now you have to let go and let God.

As a daughter of a VERY broken mom, I applaud for the wisdom to step back. I'm sure it's very difficult to watch your children make what you believe to be detrimental decisions. But always remember, God is in control of all that happens to her. Regardless of the outcome, God will use it for good. Yes, we don't want our children to experience pain, but as someone said: we have to learn on our own.
I pray that you will be able to let her go and trust that God still has her and will keep her even in her consequences.

Thank your el it is so great to talk to you. I always smile when I see you are leaving me a message. Thanks again for the prayers. I feel God is working.
