Greeting prayer warriors

Im in need of prayer. Just got new that my daughter is pregnant with her second child. She's only 20. Needless to say, I'm disappointed in her and hurt. She can barely take care of the first one who is my world. I can I express God's forgiveness and love when I'm totally upset in her selfish ways. Raising a child is hard enough but two? I'm weary. I've been supportive of my daughter and have been there for her countless times but feel so betrayed at this time. How much can a parent take?
 
I am seeking God for you, Legna, and for your daughter and grandchild(ren).

I'm so sorry about the situation. I s'pose a parent can take as much as we have to. ♥
(my husband and I have six children, from ages 18-31)
Just as God will never leave or forsake us, so we are to our children.

That said, it's not unreasonable to ask your daughter to be responsible to her own children,
as you have been to her. Help--yes! Enabling--I don't think that would be in her best interests, so your frustration is understandable.
Does it help to say that this next child will be as precious to you as the first? :)

I understand your weariness; I am asking for God's strength,
and His patience,
and His wisdom and understanding.

Outside help? Like have her talk to your pastor or youth adviser (if there is such a thing)?
I am truly praying for you this morning.
