Please pray for my daughter, who in her 20’s started to abuse alcohol and drugs, quit going to church which led to now not believing in God at all. Even the mention of God makes her incredibly angry. She is making very bad choices in her life and can no longer tell right from wrong in matters of morals. Please pray that the Lord delivers her from this evil that has taken over her life.
 
I thank you Lord for coco2’s daughter and I pray Lord that you would draw her back to the Catholic Church. Amen.
 
May God help those in need of His mercy, and continuously draw sheep of good will to His flock.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for her!
 
Lord, please send grace to this loved daughter that she might cultivate in her soul the virtues of wisdom and humility. Send angels to guide and protect her in this fallen pilgrimage. Mary, pray with us. Amen. :gopray2:
 
Coco2 I will keep your daughter as well as you and your family in my prayers.

I did pray for your daughter.

But I encourage you also to think about what had led to this state of affairs.

Often, people don’t end up this way just because they decide they want to be evil.

Often, a chain of events and situations can be seen that has led to this. This is not a matter of determining and assigning blame. This is a matter for being savvy and seeing what has happened. Seeing what has happened can sometimes give clues about what a parent could do now to influence the adult child to go in a different and better direction.

A parent cannot control an adult child. But as long as there is some contact, there are possibilities of influencing the adult child, by what is said, by what is not said, by what is given, by what is asked, by what is not asked, by what is withheld, by emotions that are expressed, by emotions that are not expressed, by attitude, etc.

In my humble opinion, the atheism is not the cause of all the other bad behaviors, but rather the atheism, the substance abuse, and all the other destructive behaviors are the result of other things in the past and in the present.

Why do I think all this? Partly from watching Dr. Phil quite a bit. Partly from watching things happen in my family and with my cousins.

I did pray for your daughter.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
I will pray for sure. These can be tricky situations. If the “God angle” isnt working then its often best o not use that angle. One thing I will do in my ministry is to ask meaning questions- what does it mean to be you right now? Where do you find value? What kinds of things are important to you? What realtionships are important to you? ect.

By asking these questions I can get at what the person considers their “core” and work from there. Often times, because I have such a short time with people, I will not really get to the God conversation. But if i can get them to think about themselves and how they relate to them selves and the world then I did my job.

This may seem counter intuitive but if she has a negiative view of God (which it sounds like she does) then it might be that (her vision of) God is the last thing she needs right now. She may need a family and a mother more than a evangelizer.

I understand your heartbreak all too well. I will pray that your daughter is guided back on the path to Heaven and ask Mary to help you to be the mother she needs right now. You are on my daily prayer list:crossrc:
 
praying. O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recouse to thee.:gopray2::crossrc::amen:

done, on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Praying for your daughter that she sees the Light of God’s Love and Mercy in her life each day. Praying for you to remain strong in Faith so that your daughter can feel God’s love through you.
