In my Friday post I mentioned wonderful friends and true prayer warriors. It is not too often I post a special post that is a prayer request.
I thought I had a bad week but a Bluebird here messaged me tonight and her week was a parents worst nightmare.
For privacy reasons I will say J is the most wonderful friend. Her daughter, also J, tried to take her own life.
The daughter had a very traumatic thing happen to her when in high school. It was something that went on and on. She has the most loving family and is the most gorgeous girl but she has never recovered from it and everything has been tried. These parents have gone to every length to find ways to help.
This is not the first time this has happened. Any of us with kids can imagine the horror... and the worry that sooner or later she will be successful at ending her young life.
Nothing has worked... some things have helped for a time.
So I offered that given there are Bluebirds that are really serious and when they say they will pray they really will... that we can gather together and pray for this girl and her parents.
We have had more than one instance here where prayers have been said for someone and they have made an actual miraculous recovery. I have seen it now several times. When I had given up on someone and they recovered!
When I was a teenager this was what convinced me to make my own decision for God... through prayer my Uncle recovered. It was so remarkable that the doctors and the nurses of the hospital he was in formed a guard of honour as he left the hospital! Months later I saw him. He could not speak properly because of all the tubes he had down his throat for so long. He leaned over to me and said "I know what you did" and I sat there dumbfounded... and he said "I didn't believe in God before but now I do" and then I knew my prayers and what I had said to God were known to my uncle who could not know... and so this was the point I felt "Ok now I know for sure."
So miracles happen through prayer.
If you will pray for J and J this would be a hope where at the moment they don't feel too hopeful.
Thank you.xxx

God works miracles that I have seen too on many occasions :).

Hello. I don't think I have ever left a comment on your blog before, but I wanted to let you know that I am praying. I am a mom and I know it is not easy for young people in this day and age, and my heart is going out to everyone involved. Thank you for sharing that testimony about your uncle too. God Bless.
ReplyDeletePrayers being said for both J & J, J's Daughter needs all the love and support she can receive, my our Lord hold her and protect her and heal her. May J be comforted in His Love. There is no pain worse than a Mother watching her child suffer. I pray for God's comfort for J.
ReplyDeleteLove, Rosanne
My heart goes out to daughter J and her family. I’m praying for all of them, especially that God will heal J and show her his comfort and love. I will continue praying for healing. Melissa

Annabel, I will pray for J and J. Adolescence and young adulthood are hard enough to navigate without all the modern pressures. You are also in my prayers - after reading last post. Thankyou for continuing to share, inspire and put others first even though you obviously have a lot going on yourself. Clare
ReplyDeletePrayers sent.
ReplyDeletePrayers being sent up for J and J. I pray for the young lady who has been brought so low. I also pray for those around her, who continue to fight to keep their loved one safe and to find a way to help her repair and recover.
ReplyDeletePrayer is powerful, and it's been proven that even if you don't know someone is praying for you, you get the blessings. Prayer chains are more powerful. I believe God hears and answers every prayer, J and J are and will be in my prayers.

Certainly J, and her family will be on my prayer list. God works miracles, and remember, and maybe should be told to this young lady, God will not allow you to leave this earth, until His Will is worked out in your life. I know this through personal experience. And when I look back at all He has allowed me to accomplish since those really dark days, I am in awe of His power, His mercy and His graciousness in my life.
ReplyDeleteThey and you will be in my prayers! Hugs, Holley
ReplyDeleteI am praying that J will find lasting hope, help and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ. I have prayed that God will step in and allow a miracle to happen in this young girl's life. Lord please let this miracle be a testimony to all who know this girl and her family. Thank you Annabel for your story about your Uncle.
ReplyDeleteI am joining in prayer for J and J. I am trusting God for healing for this precious young woman, as well as strength and encouragement for her family.
ReplyDeleteMy family and I are very grateful for the power of prayer. This time of year, six years ago, I was in my third month in the hospital, having spent the first month in ICU. I'm told that during the first 6 weeks it was doubtful from day to day that I would live. If I survived, they thought I would be unable to walk and would need an oxygen tank to breathe. I had to learn how to sit up, eat, drink stand and eventually walk. A therapist told my daughter they hoped I would someday be able to dress myself. I spent almost another two months in the hospital and rehab facility. I was blessed to have family and friends around the world praying for me. God graciously answered their prayers, making me literally a walking miracle.
Thank you for sharing the prayer request for J and J.
Elaine
I am praying the hand of God touches young J and she feels His love and the love and support we are sending her. I pray for mom J that God gives her strength, support and feels the love we are sending.
ReplyDeleteI am praying fervently for J and her family.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read this, Annabel. Unfortunately it is becoming so common and I really feel for our young people these days. I will certainly hold up this family in prayer that there will be a turnaround.
ReplyDeleteI think people would be surprised at how common this is. I've had more than a couple of friends (and a family member) go through this very thing. The boys were always successful in ending their lives, but only one girl, that I can recall. One of the surviving girls (the family member) said that it wasn't so much that she wanted her life to be over, she just wanted the pain to stop. As she's still here, some 40ish yrs. later, I know that the particular pain did stop.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just so hard to make a young person understand that when their lives are so entwined in school & friends and that age is such a fish bowl with everyone watching. Of course, we find out later that life didn't begin and end with all that, but how do you explain that to someone that's hurting so badly?! It's so very sad.
I will absolutely add them to my prayers as I know that stark loss of friends from back then, and I can only imagine the fear of a parent.
Our family will hold up your dear friends in prayer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about how prayer won over your uncle. Truly touching! Prayer is the best thing we can do for others.
Blessings,
Leslie
I know this is late. Haven’t been on the internet for awhile. Praying for this young lady and her family. God’s mercy, peace and protection and healing.
