Last message for my unsaved daughter

[CINDY S.]

I don't know why this came across me, I think it may
be from the LORD, but as soon as I talk to her (she's 22)
I will tell her that Jesus is getting ready to come soon
and I personally will NEVER leave her, but if I am missing
she will know JESUS came for me and she should cry
out to him.

Cindy,

Our 16 yr old son doesn't have a relationship with Jesus either. I have written him a letter and put it in the bible he has in his nightstand - he knows it's there and what it says.

You just keep on praying for your daughter. I know our lost sons and daughters WILL come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Don't get discouraged sister!!!

God Bless,

Patty

Patty T,

Thanks so much for the reassuring words for our kids.

Cindy S.,

Continue in prayer. I don't know if you have heard the song Randy Travis sings, but there is one that is called when Momma prays.

My own son was not walking with the Lord, but with the world. I lifted him up daily, and he has now turned his life over to the Lord.


PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we got the cd of Randy's music, and it played that song I had to grin, and my son told me that song couldn't be any closer to the truth. He could feel my prays, and knew that my continued prayers for him was one of the reasons the Lord continued to draw him.

Stay strong in the Lord, I will add your daughter to my pray list. Our prayers are heard, and answered.

Love in Christ,
Kathy

Thank you so much for your post. I know it's only a matter of time. I am praying that reality will hit him like it did you, and I most sincerely appreciate your prayers for him. It means a whole lot to me.

God Bless you and strengthen you in your walk with Him!

I can relate to this.

Our daughter accepted Christ at bible camp YEARS ago, but now she is in college and I am certain she is nt live a "holy" life. She is also so anxious to turn 21 it makes me sick at times.

I have learned the HARD way that her walk with Christ is completely up to how the Spirit deals with her. All I can do is love her and let my light SHINE, SHINE, SHINE!

Continue to pray for her until you take your last breath. Never give up.<><

I'm there with you all with a 17 yr old and a 19 yr old. The 19 yr old is away at college - freshman year.

He is doing community service right now for a first offender charge of underage drinking. :(:

I TOO agree that our prayers and faith will bring our children to a saving relationship with Christ.

My children have been on mission trips, etc, been baptized, Christian school for most of theie education, etc, but may not have more than a head relationship with Christ.

NEVER QUIT BELIEVING AND PRAYING! :angel

Ok, my time to tell another scary teen daughter story!

Mine is in Atlantic City all weekend!

She manages the basketball team and they are there for a tournament.

Thank God she is under 21!

When I was away from the Lord, my parents never ceased praying for me. They didn't push me, that just told me, had a choice and that if I made the wrong choice, I have to live or die with it.

I was raised in a Christian home, but when I turned 12 I started to run away from God and Church, by the time I was 16 I was well and truly away from Jesus, I even declared that there was no God :cry . But last November (2002) my parents prayers were answered, I was at a church service I didn't want to be at, and when the alter call came, I just knew I had to go forward, I didn't want to, but some how I ended up down the front, scared, shaking, and near tears.

I was 16 nearly 17 when this occured, now I am 17 nearly 18, and I have spent the last year in Bible College, the fact is once I made that choice to follow God, everything changed, and it will be the same for your sons and daughters.

God placed a call for ministry on my life, and He may do the same to your children.

The bottom line is if your parents are praying for your salvation, then it is no use fighting it.

I am so greatful and blessed by your post. It's the testimony of our young people that continues to build our faith.

I know my son will have his eyes opened one day; I'm praying that it's sooner rather than later. He needs Jesus :cry

Thank you for sharing,

God Bless,

Patty
