I humbly ask that you pray for my daughter. She relapsed on Christmas night probably right about the time I was posting the testimony of her deliverance from addiction and mental illness. She was missing for 24 hours and then returned all sorry and distraught that it happened. However, she was suppose to be at an NA meeting last night and ended up meeting up with someone who took her to get drugs.

I do not understand this at all....... I don't understand how you could be doing so well for so long and be blessed so much by God and then just throw it all away. I don't understand addiction and probably never well no matter how many classes I go to or books I read or whatever.

The only thing I understand is that with God all things are possible. Please pray for me as well I am very emotional including being very angry.
 
Katzie,
I understand what you are feeling, and know how hard it is.
Keep praying, keep loving her, and keep trusting God.
Pray he gives her a tender heart, and eyes to see her own need, for God will not force his will upon her.
He created us with a free will, but we can pray for Gods intervention.
Pray he will protect her until her eyes are open to her need.
Like The Lord said to Satan when he desired to test Job, he is in your hand but, do not lay a hand on his person!
God often allows trials to show us our need, and all the while only allow Satan to test so far, and no further.
Cover her in prayer, and unmerited favor, just as God has loved us.
I have been praying for my children for over 40 years, and God is still doing a work.
He's not finished with me yet either, nor you, and he will perform his work in her until the day of Jesus Christ.
Gods word tell us Jesus will lose none that the Father has given him save Judas, so rest in that......Keep trusting
 
blessings !

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1 Peter 5:7

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6–7 (KJV)

I was on the run for twelve treacherous years,but God in His amazing grace kept me in one piece til I was hand delivered right to the doorstep of my Fathers house.Keep crying
out,keep hope alive,keep loving,and then arm your self make your stand .I can tell you
this Im alive and well because many knee caps were fighting for me...
 
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord: Which made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121: 1,2



Gracious beautiful Lord Jesus, we lift our eyes up to Thee now in prayer. Thank You Jesus, that You are more powerful than any drug within Katzie's daughters body......O Lord we claim that almighty power and ask that You would touch Katzie's daughter now and bring healing and restoration from this addiction.

Lord, wrap our dear sister Katzie in Your tender arms of love....whisper Your beautiful peace and comfort to her heart. As You carry her through these difficult times may she ever be drawn closer to You.

Thank You Jesus for hearing this prayer and for all Your tender love and mercy towards us.


Blessings and love to you dear sister Katzie

I am praying

I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust
Psalm 40:1-4

Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement...........

Please continue to pray for her as she is missing again along with a good sum of money.....which I keep locked up, but my door was open last night as we had a Christian friend here all night praying with us..........how does someone go and steal money during a break from prayer????????

Continue to pray for me that I remain in the spirit and that I continue to pray and I continue to have love in my heart. I am struggling a lot with emotions.

Please pray for my son and my mother as they too are victims of this situation. My mother just got out of the hospital. My son has zero tolerance for his sister doing these things, he's not saved and he doesn't understand my praying and so on.....and honestly she is not being a very good example of a Christian now to an unbeliever.


"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

May God bless all of you.........His mercy and love endureth forever

Dear sister Katzie

I have just read your update dear sister, and yes continuing in much more prayer for you and your family...laying all your very difficult circumstances before His throne.....

He is faithful, He is able and He loves you so much.

May He wrap his comforting arms around you and fill you with the beauty of His presence.

Much love and many blessings


Julia


O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid Thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there:
If I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there.

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.




Psalm 139:4-10

Some of the time loving some one means we have to say no.
Dont be afraid to let your daugther know exactly how you
feel.

You cant fix something that aint broken-and God cant heal
until we see how desperately we are in need.
Im speaking from my own experience.When I was running with
the world,it wasnt til after all of my resouces ran out.And then
and only then is when I realized my need.
Hebrews12:6,For the Lord corrects and diciplines everyone who
He loves and He punishess,even scourges every son and daugther
whome He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes

Hosea6:1,Come And let us return to the Lord,for He has torn so
He may heal us;He has stricken so that He may bind us up.
 
Thank you all for your prayers!!!!!!! My daughter returned home 11:30 last night and we brought in the New Year with her request for praying together.

The Holidays bring out the pain she still has regarding her father abandoning us in 1997 and going into hiding to avoid paying child support. She doesn't know where he is or even if he is alive. Pray that she will be able to once and for all forgive him and to accept that the only Father she needs is Jesus!!!

She willing gave up her everything that was a means of contact for people who only wish to see her sick and suffering with addiction last night. She is going to seek counseling from our Pastor and go to all the Church NA meetings. Even going to the secular meetings is a danger because there are always a few there just looking for someone to get high with.

Continue to pray for us as she needs to learn to lean on God and trust Him to deliver her from depression and to fill her up with the Joy of the Lord.

May the Lord answer all of your prayers and fill all of your needs and keep you all in his loving arms!!!!!

Love in Christ,
katzie
 
Hi Katzie.
I just read your post.
I am sad to hear that your daughter relapsed.
I will pray for her and for your mother and son as well. I do not understand addiction myself either but I know what it's like to love an addict and it is very trying to say the least. I pray that your son will seek the Lord for his salvation. I also pray that you will be strengthened and comforted and made stronger.
Keep praying Katzie and keep looking up- there is an end to all of this in the Lords timing even though it seems like there is not. There are a lot of people praying for your family and surely the Lord hears us all and will soon move in your daughters life and for the rest of your family.
Much love to you and your family Katzie.

Amen Sister Katzie... I pray that the Lord will give you a willing and steadfast spirit to sustain you.. Yes Lord, in Jesus name. We thank you for Your love indeed endures forever. Continue to give our sister that love and peace to help her overcome all her struggles. We thank you for You are our ever present help Lord in times of need.. Amen

Please pray for my son and my mother as they too are victims of this situation. My mother just got out of the hospital.

Lord God, You are the God of the heavens and the earth and You are forever enthroned. No one could ever take Your place Lord. We pray take over the lives of our sister's son and mother regarding her daughter's breakdown right now. Take full control of their lives Lord and let Your glory shine upon Sister Katzie as well. Pour out Your love upon their hearts Lord, i pray. Let Your peace rule their hearts and heal her daughter continually from the effects of addiction. Heal her mind Lord. Heal her i pray. And let her recover soon. We thank Lord and we bless you Holy Name. This is our prayer in Jesus name. Amen

"Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise." Jeremiah 14:17 Amen Lord

Comming from someone who will be free from an addiction (not drugs or alcohol ) 1yr January 9th. I know what it is like to have one.

I thought Grace Alone gave you some excelent advice. I would like to say this though....to be patient with your daughter bathe her in prayer my mom had (still has) her whole church praying for me.....without that prayer I wouldn't be here today.

Hang in there and don't give up on your daughter.

I will pray for her.

Love In Christ

Thank you all for your prayers.........

My daughter checked herself into a Psychiatric Hospital today.....Praise God!!!!

She had relapsed a total of 3 times since Christmas and yesterday she was having uncontrollable thoughts of killing herself.

She went to a Church and just prayed and was crying. A woman came up to her and asked her what was wrong. She told her that she was doing so good for four months while she was on medication for her Bi-Polar, she was happy, she was functioning normally, no more depression and manic thoughts. Then she really wanted to believe God could heal her so with the encouragement of a Christian friend she stopped taking her medication cold turkey. The woman told her, I have a daughter with Bi-Polar and I have been through this with her and this may not be your time to be off medication yet. She told her the reason you still felt good for a couple of weeks was because the medication was still in your system.....(which is true of these types of meds.) Once the medication came out completely is when your mind became unstable and you need to see a Dr. and get back on those meds and when God knows your ready he'll wean you off them and heal you. She also said that God can use medication to heal us and we should not condemn ourselves for taking medication. She was so blessed by this woman, I almost feel like God sent her an Angel to speak to her.

While she was at Church I was praying about the entire situation and asking God about the reason she needed to still take the meds and He revealed to me that she needs to love herself and that she also needs to be disciplined. So, in a very small way the process can begin simply by her taking care of herself by taking medication everyday and being diligent about it. She can't just go get a job and start functioning at a high level right now to make herself feel good, she must go slowly in order to recover completley. I am so thankful God revealed this to me because I must admit I was getting very frustrated with this situation and this has restored my peace and faith that everything IS in God's hands, we just have to wait on Him and be patient.

Please pray for her that she will get the proper care in the Psychiatric Hospital. I have to say I have never seen this hospital as full as it was today. This is the 12th time she has been there and they know her by name and took her right in despite the 30 other people sitting in the waiting room. Please pray for all of the patients there as there were a couple of people she knew from times there before. The Inpatient Care is excellent, it's the getting the Patients follow up care where they lack a LOT. So, please pray about that.

Please pray for my daughter that she will be able to lead people to the Lord while she is there. She brought her Recovery Bible with her. They take everything away from you when you are admitted, but they let her keep her Bible.....Praise God!!!!!

Please pray for my son that God will use this situation to reveal Himself to Him and open up a way for him to believe. Pray for my mom whom I was suppose to move home this weekend but she had a medical problem which is delaying it for at least a week. Please pray for myself that I will keep my focus on Jesus and rest knowing He is in control of everything.

Thankyou and God Bless all of you and your loved ones!!!!!!!

Greetings sister Katzie,




just a quick note to let you know that Kelly is still in my prayers, and you are still, also, and now your son and mother, too.





Bless you.... ><>

Br. Bear


ps... please say hallo to Kelly for me when you see her next, sister ><>
 
Thank you all for your continued prayers. My daughter, Kelly, was discharged from the Hospital this past Tuesday and she spent a lot of time telling patients she knew from other times there about God. They were all extremely impressed by how much she has changed and several of them are even going to Church now and a couple came to meetings at Church with her. She is on tract and really excited about people seeing how much she has changed over the last 7 months and all Glory goes to God. She attends meetings/church every single day and our Pastor is counseling her one hour a week as well. So Praise God for He is faithful to answer our prayers!!!!!!!

My mom really needs prayers now as it is not possible for me to move her home at this time. She has C-Diff which is a really bad/contagious intestinal infection and it's really taking it's toll on her. Treatment can take up to two months for her as she has had it 7 times before and it's a miracle she survived that. Most elderly people don't survive having it more then 2 or 3 times. I attempted to move her home 3 times in the past two months but every time she ended up in the hospital and I had to postpone it. Her Alzheimers is getting a lot worse now with this infection and God knows I would never be able to keep up with the care required right now. It's in His hands and I trust Him completely. But, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was sad that this is happening to my mother.

Pray for my son, he works for Circuit City and got his 60 day notice that they are going Bankrupt!!! The funny thing about it is in 60 days he will have completed his classes and will be certified MCSE for computer building, repairs and programing......so who knows what the Lord has planned for him.

As for me, I just saw my Dr. and he doesn't know how I am alive as my blood work wasn't good, my potassium is dangerously low, I'm anemic and a bunch of other numbers are all off. I told him I am alive by the Grace of God. He said if I didn't start taking what he's prescribing he's not so sure that will hold out much longer.....LOL. I have to laugh about it. I've had these problems for 30 years with my IBD and I take the supplements, drink my protein drinks and somehow I'm still here.....so Praise God...right!!!

Anyway, I guess this is a prayer request/testimony as prayers are being answered and I am persuaded that they will continue to be answered by our Loving Father in Heaven. All things can be done including curing my mother and restoring her memory if it's God's will in the name of Jesus.

May the Lord bless all of you and answer all of your prayers for you, your families and friends!!!!!

Love in Christ,
Kathy
