Very sad - Prayer Request

Lord, Your scripture says that you heal all diseases and whoever believes in You will not perish but have an everlasting life. Strengthen this young person, Lord, in this time of illness. Sustain her as she lays sick in her bed. When You were on Earth, you did all things good and healed all kinds of sickness.

You healed those who had diseases. You died and rose for our sins and that we may have eternal life, Lord. I believe in my heart that You are here with us today and that with Your most holy power will remove all sicknesses and evils that roam the earth. Let it be done in Your glory, Lord.

We praise and glorify Your name, Amen.

She's likely to need a great deal of understanding and emotional support in the days and months ahead.

She has a tough road ahead, as does the whole family.

She's lucky you're there for her.
 
This is excellent advice.....

My daughter had a breakdown going into 10th grade . All started with losing a spot on the dance team at school . Began not eating and this led to an eating disorder . Home schooled for a year , then to a small private school . She is now set to graduate college next year . Good psychiatrist , life coach , made the change in her . I will never forget when we were taking her to a treatment center . She was so week , I had to carry her up to our motel room in my arms . I have tears in my eyes writing this . All I can say is it can get better , but it could be a long road . My prayers are with you !


All psychiatrists/counselors are NOT equal. I went through several until I found one where we could both relate to each other. Then progress was good.
 
We'll be praying....

...and pulling for her recovery. Taking time to get straight is the important thing. Get out of the rat race for a bit.

My sis had ALL of the work done to finish her PhD. Her mentor begged her to just write it up, she'd get all the help she needed. Forget it, she's out of business, burned out. That was a long time ago. She's created her own college chemistry class in the high school she teaches in and she's happier than she's ever been in her life.

I 'survived' a health breakdown and a subsequent mental breakdown I had to go on disabiility. Big adjustments. But SOME good did come out of it. I was able to spend time at home when our boy was growing up, now I"m helping him with his business now and I'M happy as a clam too.

So there is hope, but it may need a change of plans.

This is troubling news for a young person to experience. Whether it is a physical or psychological it is very sad. You and your family have our prayers.
 
My daughter had a break down when she joined the high school soft ball team. She had looked forward to playing softball there for years. She went from straight A's to D's and F's. She slept in her room whenever she could no matter what time of day and withdrew from her friends. She stopped caring, she was bullied viciously at softball practice and games because she was good - she had the highest batting average in her league several times and did everything well but pitch. Her mother was at every game through grade school and junior high and I went to those that I could. The high school team had mostly poor players that would be at home in the LPGA. The coaches did not care. They still have not won a game. We had to take her out of school for a few months to recalibrate. She slowly re-emerged and got back to a B student and doing things with her friends. Sadly, I doubt she will play softball again. After a life time of encouragement and success, she feared that she had now some how failed and let us down when not accepted on the team. It took incredibly long to set her right again. I am not qualified to analyze anyone, but I will bet there is fear of failure in there somewhere that can be overcome with time, patience and love. Maybe she needs a year or two off and some loving fun with family. Good luck.

That's horrible news, I'm so sorry. We have to give all the glory to our Father in Heaven during the good times, but more importantly in the bad times, have faith in God and EXPECT that God has a plan for her, as he does. While we don't always understand his infinite wisdom, be assured he has a plan for her and already knows the outcome. Pray daily, with friends and family, out loud because were two or more are gathered the Lord is present.
 
Prayers sent.
And hopefully some encouragement: My uncle had a similar episode the day he was leaving to go to college. He was an "A" student in school, but just could not board the train for college. It took a while, but he came out of it, and became a productive member of society. This was back many years ago and there have been ******* leaps in treating this type of incident. Support her and the family as best you can and keep praying for relief and resolution. The Great Physician will work wonders directly, and perhaps through other mortals as well.
