www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Prayer My niece

I would like to ask your prayers for my eldest niece. She used to be a straight A student, had gone to Nationals for Cross County and Track and field, and regularly attended her church's services (my Brother-in-law, Sister and their children are Protestant) until about six months ago. She began to hang out with a group of people who influenced her into rebelliousness, witchcraft, bulimia, hatred of family, and loss of purity. I am only three years old than my niece (I'm 19) so she had been more like a sister or cousin to me than a niece making her actions all the more difficult for me to witness as I cannot do anything but pray and trust in God. Please pray for her, my sister who is heartbroken, and the family in general as it is rocked by these issues.

Dear brother in Christ,

I understand that awful influences around our teenagers.

Do not despair. All is not lost. God is awesome, and prayer will save her.

You must all pray for her daily.

May our Lord God hear our prayers for your niece and her parents. May her guardian angel and the Archangel Michael ward off all evil and danger from her life. May she turn back to the loving arms and concern of her family. Amen.

In Christ,
Alice

P.S. I have sent you a p.m.

A dear friend of mine daughter did the same thing, a straight A student, never been a problem. It was a very hard journey for her and the family, but now at last her daughter is back him. I think all toll it was about three years.

You know what, she came home pregnant, but God is blessing her so much. My friend sent the pictures from the sonogram(or whatever they are called) she is 18 weeks along. The photos are so perfect the doctor took ten of them. I gave them to someone who works closely with Priests for Life to use, they said they never get 18 week pictures that clear, they are truly amazing, and they will truly be a blessing because they loose so many at 18 weeks.

So yeah, her daughter got pretty off track, but she is back and look how that tiny little one is blessing the world. Glory to God!

So PRAY and know that God is faithful in all matters, and he will bring her into safe harbor. Lord let your mercy fall!

Through the intercession of Blessed Bartolo Longo, I offer my prayers for the conversion of your niece. Lord have mercy on her!

Thank you for praying for my niece. God Bless all of you!

Prayers.

Almighty God, Who delivered Your people from the bondage of the adversary, and through Your Son cast down Satan like lightning, deliver this young woman also from every influence of unclean spirits. Command Satan to depart far from her by the power of Your only begotten Son. Rescue her from demonic imaginings and darkness. Fill her with the light of the Holy Spirit that she may be guarded against all snares of crafty demons. Grant that an angel will always go before her and lead her to the path of righteousness all the days of her life, to the honor of Your glorious Name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

Thank you for all your prayers, and please pray more as things have gotten worse and worse. God have mercy on my poor sister, her daughter has not only broken her heart but ripped it out and stomped on it. She is beside herself with anguish.

My prayers continue...

Prayers...

Prayers for your niece and her whole family.

I have an update on my niece, and sadly it is not very good. She has joined the OTO group founded by Aleister Crowley. That being said she had not actually attended any of the meetings and rituals as my sister and brother in-law have grounded her indefinately. How she has managed to "join" this group and research them it beyond me, but I think it may have to do with unrestricted internet access at school, as she cannot have gone online at home as her computer has been confiscated and the family computer has a password on it. Everything that she views as being conformist she rebels against, "in my heart and mind I'm out of control" is one of her slogans. She has made it her mission to ruin everyone's peace in the home. She has told her counselors that she loves to manipulate her parents for fun. My sister is very emotional and her daughter strives to hurt her in any way possible. Had anyone told me this would be happening a year ago I would have laughed, now all I want to do is cry. I have been tempted to ask God why He would do something like this to my sister her husband and their other daughter. Especially their other daughter who is so affected by seeing her sister hurt her mother. They all have to put on a false front in the home now and pretend that they're not hurting but their pain is ever present and increasing all the time. I have begun prayers on behalf of my sister for her daughter, have arranged for liturgies to be said for familial peace, and have begun to invoke the Our Lady Searcher of the Lost, as my niece is lost and must be found. Pray for her very hard, and for my sister and her family to have the strength and grace to deal with this situation.

Lord have mercy!

Holy Theotokos, sweet Mother pray for our intentions!
