June 26, 2007A family in crisis and in need of prayersSorry it’s been so quiet over here. Aside from just spending 7 hours in the ER with my best friend, all of our time has been taken up dealing with a family (no, not ours) who are struggling with many issues, including mental health, and the children within the family who are being mentally and emotionally abused. One of them has been essentially not permitted out of the bedroom since Saturday for - believe me - an “infraction” so minor a normal parent would barely notice it (and no, the bedroom has no computer, no phone, no tv - nothing) the other kids are so intimidated, they’re just trying to stay out of a tyrant’s line of fire. How did we get involved? I have no idea, but there is no walking away from this. We’re storming heaven in prayer for them, trying to turn a Titanic around before it strikes a berg, and now I’m about to make phone calls to see if anything can be done to help. We’re begging God to send his angels, and Christ to stand between the parents and kids and each other as they try to survive one parent who has created a vortex of insanity and another too whipped to save the kids. If you are inclined to pray, please pray for for T and her family. And if you have a spare prayer, one for Diane, who is writhing in pain in an ER with no answers in site. I don’t know when I’ll be back to blogging. The focus is here, right now. I thank you. http://theanchoressonline.com/2007/06/26/a-family-in-crisis-and-in-need-of-prayers/trackback/ 20 Responses to “A family in crisis and in need of prayers” |

A Prayer Request…
The Anchoress is asking for help for a family which certainly seems to be in need and also for a good friend.
It is the type of help which I am certain will be offered by many of us who read, comment and write here at “J’s.”

I hope and pray that you all will be able to get some help for this family and especially for the children. My heart and prayers are with you and them during this time. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Prayers on the way for this family in need. It would seem at least one angel is already hard on the job. God bless!

We’re praying.

Long time reader, first time comment. My prayers are with you. God bless you for the help you ‘re giving this family. My small global prayer circle will send our prayers in their behalf tonight.

So… you pray?…
If so, then The Anchoress needs you, or more specifically, people she knows need you. If you don’t then… I dunno… maybe you should… maybe….

I will be praying for the family and for Diane, G-d willing. Hang in there, the blogging can wait. Interesting that with all everybody has to say on the web all the time, the most substantive issue is our interconnectedness.

Prayers for T and her family, and for Diane.
May God grant peace in both situations.

Good for you for stepping in where there’s abuse. I wish someone had stepped in for me, but this was back in the day when everyone minded their own business, and as long as there are no broken bones involved, nobody noticed that anything was wrong.

Praying.

thankful you are out there, helping as best you can…
nothing more important than the most important.
hoping for the best.

On my knees right now. . .

That was my family, forty years ago, the kids at the mercy of their raging and insane mother. My dad was there, physically, but no help. I hate to think of other kids going through this. Prayers going up, but in the meantime I hope somebody is calling the cops.
