Prayer request - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

prairierose · 05-07-2008, 08:55 AM

My sister-in-law called me in tear last night. Her family's in crisis and needs healing. Apparently my brother (her husband) has become severely withdrawn and at times abusive, she's moved out for the time being.

She, my brother, and their two daughters (ages 4 and 15 months) need serious prayer.

I could use some too, my anger/worry about my brother's behavior and mental state has torn me up inside. I am praying to hand it over and for their safety and healing, but could use help!

Thanks,

Virginia:praying

You can't fix your brother. The two things you can do...pray for him and guide him to answers if he asks for them.
Only God can change a stone heart.

Let go and let God.

Only God can change a stone heart.

Best is so right......Only God can change a heart..... your sister in law's safety and that

of the children come first..but you have acknowledged this already dear prairierose.

I will commit to pray...for her and the children..and for him as well.

And for you!

It is good she has moved out...

Love,

IO
