Dear New Friends,

Please include my 17yr. old daughter in your prayers.  She has been with a verbally abusive boyfriend for the last 6 months and now things have escalated into her leaving our home.  This is her first boyfriend and he has threatened her, all her friends, which she now has only a few, and just tries to control all things in her life.  She has taken to sneaking out of her bedroom window, lying all the time even to my face, she has lost her job in the family business and now lives with her father, with whom I know really doesn't care too much about her and is an incredibly selfish man.  Last  night, she was "missing" for 7 hrs, and I think she feels she has more freedom than ever.   I have been on my knees to the Lord for guidance, strength, and simply looking to Him to "tell" me what to do.  Please, if you have the time, include my daughter in your prayers.  I would so appreciate it and I know the Lord will hear.  I have already, many times, given her to the Lord and have taken her back.  Now, she is totally in His hands and I only hope she will listen to that still small voice and follow the right path. 

Thanks guys!!
