I am so sorry but I feel so lost in this world. Everything seems to just be tumbling down. I have been through alot these past few months what with one thing and another.

My 14 year old daughter tried to slice her wrists this week because she said that she was angry. She didnt know why she was angry though. She said when she did it she didnt even feel it. She tried to go deeper each time on one wrist. There is about 15 different slices on the wrist.
Now this is something I cant cope with. I just dont understand it.
I know most of you know my situation at home with my husband and my daughter said that it was because of him.
Please could you pray for my daughter and if any have any prophetic word for me.
This is too much for me. Where is God. He is so quiet. Will prayer really matter to me. Do I deserve what is happening because all of this is just so confusing. Maybe I do deserve bad things in my life. I havent been a good person in this life.

Please don't let the devil in :)
Remember that we cannot deserve God's saving hand and NONE of us can be good enough, we've all blown it and will continue to do so.
The bible says that God's strength shows in our weakness.

Father we ask that your presence befall this family and may your love, understanding and wisdom overcome it in Jesus name. Come through to the glory of your name and touch her daughter's heart to recognize your love for her and to stop hurting herself in Jesus name.
Grant jacquidube the wisdom and strength to handle things in the family and above all, the faith in you to know that REGARDLESS of how bad things are, nothing is impossible for you and that you are willing and able to fix things in Jesus name.
Father we believe and we thank you for what you've done and are about do do in her family in Jesus name.

Yeah none of us are deserving of God's love and goodness and faithfulness, but we have it!! (Thank you God for that). We ALL fall short..

Lord God, I pray that Your will be done in this family above all things. Please help them to know You're there and that You love them SO much Lord. Please heal their broken hearts Father. Thank You Lord for turning bad things around. They are opportunities to reveal Your power God. Thank You for creating this family. You know deep down inside their hearts, You know their every thought and need and desire. Please reveal Yourself to them in a mighty way. In the Loving name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Father, hold her up in your strength and guide her in dealing with her daughter. Open her daughter's eyes to your love and your peace which is ours for the taking. In Jesus' name, amen.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
Psalm 103:8-10

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.
Psalm 145:8-9

Jesus I kneel before God and pray for all this person needs. I pray for a visitation of The Holy Spirit into this one. I pray for a revelation the likes of which will never be forgotten. In Jesus Name I Pray . Amen:crossrc:

Lord, I lift this mother and daughter up to You for help. Lord I don't know anything about this situation but I know you know. I ask that the daughter be put in a place of safety for her ownself and may the mother reach out to You for guidance and follow the path You have shown her. If the husband is the problem Lord move him out or fix the problems in this family. Something in this household is not going according to Your plan. May if be resolved and fast. Protect the child bring comfort to the mom and make this a loving home as you would have it to be. In the name of Jesus, I pray. amen

Dear Heavenly Father I pray that you take care of this family. Help keep them strong Dear Lord. Give this young girl a peace that fills her heart, mind, body, and soul. Let her know that not only does her parents love her Lord, but you as well. Put a sheild of protection around her, and not let any harm come to her. I also pray for the parents Lord. That they will give their daughter support and love. They they both will take on this responsibility, and the daughter will not feel the need to harm herself anymore. Also Lord, please allow Jacqui to see and hear you with a clear mind. Help her to know without a shadow of a doubt what you want from her Lord. Take away the confusion, and give them all peace and happiness. Thank you. In Jesus Most Heavenly and Precious Name I Pray. Amen.

Thankyou c1ners and everybody for your prayers. I am trying so hard to give everything to the Lord. I need to surrender. I really need to surrender otherwise I am no good on my own.
Thankyou all for being there with your thoughts and prayers.
There is a guy on here (gotogod) I feel he has fully surrendered to the Lord. I dont know him but that is what I am picking up. If I do that then I will have no fear of anybody in this world hurting me or my children and family etc. Satan is a cunning evil spirit and he and his family are everywhere. I must be careful in all that I do.
c1ners I pray all is ok in your life and things r ok for you. I havent been on for a while because I have been so concerned about what satan has been doing and forgetting that God is with me. Thankyou honey for your concern and prayers.

All my love to you all, love Jacqui. x x x x

:prayer: Jacqui, Sometimes in the midst of the storm we don't hear Him quietly whisper "I am with you". He will never forsake us in our time of need. He is always there to pick us up when we stumble, to renew our strength when we are weak, and to catch every teardrop that we cry. Giving it to God is hardest when it comes to our children but remember...He gave His child for us. What greater love could there be? You have to trust in Him. And believe in the power of prayer...pray HARD!! :prayer:

:prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for my friend Jacqui. Lord, you know about the storm she is in the midst of right now, not only family issues, but now the enemy has directed his attention toward her precious daughter. Lord, you know only too well how the pain of our children hurts us as parents. We feel so helpless. So Father I ask that you comfort Jacqui and her daughter. I ask that you remind them that You can bring good from any bad or hopeless situation to those who believe. And I pray that you bless them with the strength they will need to endure this storm. Lord I thank you that you said By your stripes, we are healed so we already have your promise of healing of body and mind. I'm looking through the eyes of faith and am anxious to see how you use all this for your glory. In your precious name, Amen :amen:

Hello there... really it is not a matter of what you deserve. We all dissapoint God in many ways, he does not want to punnish us unless it will help us learn however.

God lets everyone make up their own minds do the bitter end sometimes. He will not force someone's will. All you can pray for is the right opportunities to help you, yer daughter and yer husband learn and make the right choices that will bring you closer to God and happyness. God is expert at putting up the right opportunities though, have faith that he will, and that he will never give up on you.

Pray to find the meaning in your suffering so that it may end. Remember to God our life span is just a blink of an eye, we must seem really whiney sometimes complaining all the time, when our lives are like a single day compared to eternity. Not that I am saying you are whiney. Things become nearly unbearable for me as well sometimes, so I understand.

You must make decisions, even emotional ones, and if you are feeling horrible, you must decide not to. It doesn't work right away but it will help.

For example, right now I am going through a break up, and really it is very sad for me. I could wallow in depression, but I say. " Ben, there is a plan for you and you must not be so upset, only try to do the right thing. Know that God will put the important opportunities in front of you, and if you fail to catch them, he will be there with more." Now of course I still feel sad, but I do not feel hopeless, every time I tell myself this, it helps.

I am praying for you and your family, I hope you do well.

Please know that you are in my prayers.
We might not hear God at times but He is there for you. We look for Him in the Thunder and He whispers through on the wind.
I will pray for you and your daughter. Please pray to God to strengthen you at this time. It feels like this is happening to you but it's happening to your daughter. I have found the moment I take the focus off myself and how I feel and put the focus on the person or problem God resolves it for me.

I am not an expert, but suicide attempts are often cries for help. You need to be there for your daughter, more than ever before, she really needs you. So, forget about the "I can't handle it" and, as you've already said, trust in God. Trust in His perfect will, let Him be your rock.

Praying for all involved.
