First of all, I want to thank everyone that prayed for me, my daughter Christina and her family last week after I posted the need for prayer. I won't go over the particulars again...but I would just like to say that the prayers were very effective and even though last week was one of the THE most difficult I have ever had...we have all made it through and are praising God for his faithfulness and for the love and support of this community. Things have improved considerably.
Christina will be able to come home on March 31...and we are planning on a family gathering to celebrate Christina's son's birthday and the birth of our newest grandchild, which will be no later than April 1. She has AA meetings mapped out and she will do IOP...her intense outpatient counseling. She has learned a lot...and there is a long road ahead in terms of the recovery and the legal aspects. I would ask that you especially pray that she is able to stay out of prison/jail...but really that the best outcome will be reached for her...we will leave that up to God's discretion. I know it would take a miracle...but it sure doesn't hurt to ask.
Again....thank you....this community is so great...and God does answer the prayers of his people. Our God is an awesome God...and His faithfulness endures forever...love you all...and I pray God's richest blessings on you and your families...
Someone once told me the harder and more you pray the more God knows you really do want what your praying for. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Well then you can pray as long and as hard as you want...thank you very much...I won't complain...and you are correct...
The Parable of the friend at night (or of the Importunate Neighbour) is a parable of Jesus which appears in Luke 11:5–8. In it, a friend eventually agrees to help his neighbor due to his persistent demands rather than because they are friends, despite the late hour and the inconvenience of it....
