When I am reminded of the struggles, I repeat a simple phrase, "I am not in control, my daughter is not in control, The Lord is in control." It helps. You helped. Yesterday, on my way home from work, I was consumed with worry. I gave it up to God and when I arrived home, there was something in the mail that showed me that God was indeed listening. It may never come to pass that I my daughter and my grandson return to my life but I will always know in my heart that I did His will. Please pray for my daughter who is caught in the clutches of Satan. Satan delights in discord and is empowered when the demons pit family against family. I will not give him that power. I give my daughter up to the Lord to heal. Thank you again Friend! Pam Dear Deebee,

I fear my diminishing trust and faith because it is what I have based the last 54 years upon. It is a lonely place. I welcome your prayers. Pam Dear Deebee,

I can understand why you are afraid to trust again, but our mentors are very trustworthy. In the meantime, I will continue to pray for you. Thanks for your response Pam.

I DO believe in His Goodness and His Righteousness. However of late, I have witnessed far, far too many "Christians" who seek to destroy rather than live His Word. One of my sisters is such an extreme Christian zealot that she actually attempted to exorcise demons from a co-worker through an e-mail! When my father passed away last May, I found a beautiful Buddhist quote that would apply to any life whether it be Christian, Muslim, or Hindu. Because I quoted Buddha, my family no longer speaks to me. I was accused of being Satan, a liar. I had always been there for my family. I was there with word and action whenever any of them needed me. Although I am truly grateful to you for your suggestion of a mentor, I cannot trust my soul to possible judgement or attack. When asked of a Baptist minister, "Why do so many Christians purport to live and love in the Word of the Lord, yet spend so much time judging others?" His reply was, "You can stand in a garage but it don't make you a car." Thank you again Deebee, Pam DEEBEE,

May I also suggest that you can also sign up for an email mentor from this website and someone will walk alongside you on this journey. You can just go to http://christianwomentoday.com/chat/askus.html and write what you wrote here on the blog, and someone will be in touch with you. I think you will find it very helpful.

How devastating for you to be going thru this incredible trial. Let me pray for you right now: Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up Pam to you right now.We don't always understand why things happen, but we know that even in this, You are still with Pam and her family. I pray for her grandson who must be wondering why he doesn't see his Grandma anymore. Thank You that even today, You are her Rock and her Fortress! Show her what her next steps should be Lord and comfort her as only You can. Amen Dear Pam,

I supported his mother (my daughter) while she earned her college degree. When she graduated and suddenly realized that her child had not bonded/formed an attachment with her but rather with me, she was enraged and took the child away, forbidding any further contact. It has been 4 years. In the beginning, I prayed more than I slept. I prayed that God would restore my relationship with both my daughter and my grandson. I prayed for understanding. I did not "hear back" from God. My prayers changed. I told God that if it was not in His plan to bring Jonah back, take care of him, protect and strengthen his heart, mind, and soul. I asked God to please help Jonah not to forget. God turned a deaf ear to those prayers as well. My daughter has callously and maliciously hurt many people and has caused much destruction to many lives. I want, need to forgive her for my sake, not hers. The sorrow defines my life. I have sought many ways to forgive. I have failed. I believed I was on the path to peace and forgiveness to some degree. However, 3 weeks ago I was served with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, filed by my daughter. I wanted to deny the very existence of a God. Hw could this be? I have had no contact with my daughter or my grandson for 4 years. Her Petition is permeated with lies. I ask God only for some guidance, some degree of understanding. But alas! I feel lost and abandoned by the God I trusted since I was a small child. Someone, Please help me. Pam in Sacramento I raised my grandson for the first eight years of his amazing, beautiful life.
