[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764507, member: 19522"] Hi No-Co-De, Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful prayer. Every word reverberates what I have been working at to quiet my mind and bring peace to my heart. Late hubs and I learned this the hard way, after years of a revolving door in the home with our two wayward daughters. They were not looking for true help, just an easy place to be to continue as is. It is a journey I don’t wish upon anyone, but here we are. The toughest part was when our grands were little. I asked in prayer years ago that God look after my two, their choices weighed so heavily on my being, I felt as if stuck in quicksand. I realized and need reminders that if I ask in faith, then I must trust in the path, no matter what the twists and turns. I am grateful that there are places my daughters can turn to, if they want to change the direction of their lives. Years of trying to “help” by housing them, never worked out for any of us. I have told this to my daughter, that there are paths she can take where she can get professional help, if she chooses. Our “helping” never helped, and we suffered the consequences active addiction delves out. We became easy targets for ensuing manipulating, gaslighting, the list goes on. Not healthy for anyone to have to endure. Prayers that our adult children will love themselves enough to find their light and potential. Prayers that we will love ourselves enough to do the same, thereby providing examples of what we so desperately want for our beloved’s, that they love themselves enough to choose better. Many thanks for your kind words. (((Hugs))) New Leaf [/QUOTE]
