“The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.” -Genesis 6:6
For the first time in 33 years of being a mother I feel sorry, grieved that I ever gave birth to my eldest child.
I so much wanted to be a good mother to my four children that I took child development classes so I would know how to correctly nurture and care for them. I also studied the scriptures to learn how to raise godly children and to be an example to them in following the Lord. I even taught them from my mistakes so they wouldn’t have to make the same ones.
But my first born, my eldest child chose to listen to worldly friends and reject sound guidance from God’s Word. She married a man with a long history of drug abuse, who has for the entire seven years of their marriage drugged up every penny she managed to save. And now she is drugging with him and my six grandchildren are caught in the middle.
Though God grieved at man’s depravity, rebellion against all He wanted for him, He didn’t give up on him. He provided a way of redemption that man might be reconciled back to Him.
It is this attribute of God that I seek after. I pray for grace and strength not to give up on my daughter; to hope that she will be reconciled back to God, and for the safety and salvation of my grandchildren.

Praise God,Never give up on your Child, if you give up on her you will be giving up on God, because when we pray and put a love one in the Hand of the Lord, we do it by Faith, Knowing God can do any thing,but fail. Keep the faith and start thanking God, in his Son Jesus Name for their Healing.
