Pray for my sister...

Hi! First off, I want to thank you for reading this.Last night my husband and I went over to his dad's house and he told us that that same evening our sister had gotten in a fight with her mom. It was pretty bad involving hitting, running away, and the police. I don't really know if she's saved or not. I know she has her morals due to living in a Christian household and times when she would come back from high school camp, she would for a few weeks seem to be in love with the Lord. But the majority of the time that I've known her, I've never really seen much fruit. She doesn't go to church. She doesn't read. She very worldly. I would venture to say that she isn't saved. I don't really have a position on the once saved always saved or you can loose your salvation debate. I just would say if she died tonight, I think she would go to hell. The family thinks that it is a very spiritual thing. Either spiritual oppression or spiritual possesion. But from things she's said we know something is messing with her. She's suicidal and stuff.My husband is pretty upset over it cause she's going through the same stuff he was going through when he was her age. And also because of her hitting their mom. He's finding it hard to have compassion for her, when she's such a disrespectful spoiled brat. So pray for him to be compassionate towards her and forgive her.Me on the other hand am more compassionate. Although, I think she's messed up for doing that to her mother, I know how much she's hurting. How much she needs Jesus. Not that nobody else thinks this, but their dealing with being mad about it to. Maybe I'd be more mad if it were my own mom. So pray for her soul. That she would be released for the bondage she is in. That she would realize her need for Jesus. That she would be changed. That God would do a work in her these two week right now before she goes to camp again. And maybe this time when she comes back, it would be permenant. Pray that I would be able to talk to her about God more. Pray for their mom too.Maybe I should have just wrote you to say "pray for my sister, she's going through stuff". But I think that I needed to let you know how serious it is. Thanks for your prayers.

Hi Jenifer,Maybe I should have just wrote you to say "pray for my sister, she's going through stuff". But I think that I needed to let you know how serious it is. Glad you did, find it helpful to direct our prayers toward specifics rather than a general concern. Was a bit confused, is this then your sister-in-law? Nontheless, will be praying for this situation. May the Lord draw her to Himself.

Yeah, she is my sister-in-law.Thanks for praying! :-)

Hey Jennifer! You know, I'm praying for her! If maybe I could add a prayer request to your request. I'm really excited because I think God may be giving me an opportunity to be a witness to her! I've been praying about it a lot. I offered to give her rides to her high school next year and really hope it will give me a daily opportunity to check up on her and maybe make her think about her need for God in her life, to make a decision to be committed to Him.So she's going to camp?! I was just thinking the other day about the change I saw in her, temporarily, last year at camp and how that's when the door opened for me to get to be in her life, befriend her, and hopefully offer some sort of good example in her life. I've been praying that a permanent change would happen in her heart too. You know, God is faithful! We need to pray with hope and faith that God can work in her heart, no matter how far gone she may seem.Thanks for caring enough for her to post a prayer request on here. I know she really looks up to you too! Let's pray that God would use us in her life. This may be the ministry you're looking for, Jennifer!

Just wanted to give you and update and thank you guys who prayed. She went to camp as planned. And the camp was on the love of God. John 3:16. Such an obviouse verse, but such a good one. When she came back you could just see the difference in her actions and the ways she talked. It was great! So encouraging. She deleted numbers of stupid people. She's listening to Christian music more. She's doing things for people. She's showing love to people. She's making an effort to leave the world behind. I think it's great and I'm so happy.This has happened before and she just went back to the world. But I'm praying this time, it will be permenant. Please pray it's a forever life changing thing and not just some spiritual high! Thanks!
