Dear Marriage Builder Members & Prayer Partners,<P>My daughter is in the hospital again. She is having another psychotic episode. It appears that she is indeed schizophrenic. She is 18 unmarried and pregnant. She is leaning toward keeping the baby which would be a disaster. Please pray for her healing and that one of the wonderful Christian families that want to adopt this baby gets their dream come true. The father who is 25 doesn't want the baby given up either. She and the father have never had a relationship. It was a one night stand kind of thing.<P>They are going to have to put her on medication for her mental problems. Pray that the Lord protects this unborn baby.<P>This is putting added strain on the marriage too but Praise the Lord, my husband is being really good, unusual for the circumstances. Thanks for all your support. We really need a miracle here.<P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<P>

Lord, <P>I place this entire family in your hands and ask for your will in thier lives. <BR>For the mother of the unborn baby I pray that you will fill her with peace and tranquility. Give her the mind to make the right decisions when they come up.<BR>For the father of the baby I pray that your spirit will give him good judgement for the baby's behalf.<BR>For SamMi and her husband I pray that you will give them peace and the strength to deal with all that they have been handed.<BR>For the baby Lord, I pray for your hedge of protection against the medications that his mother requires. I pray also that the mother's womb will be filled with the Holy Spirit so that the baby can grow surrounded by your peace and love.<BR>I pray all this in your name.<BR>Amen<P>------------------<BR>Love and Prayers<BR>Nicole<P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by Patient Love (edited January 03, 2000).]

Heavenly Father, I lift up Samantha and her husband to you and I pray you give them your peace, strength and wisdom in this situation. I pray you would guide this daughter and the baby's father to do what is best for the baby. I pray for your divine protection for this little one and I pray that you place this baby in a good Christian home. I also pray for this daughter, that you would heal and restore her mind, and that your perfect will be done in her life. In Jesus Name, Amen.<P>Samantha-MI, I just wanted to share that some good friends of ours went through a similar situation a while back. Their daughter & her boyfriend were both drug addicts and she gave birth to a baby boy. Our friends prayed for the protection of the baby from all the drugs and that he would be placed in a good Christian home. He is a healthy 1 year old now and is being adopted by a Christian Family.<P>P.S. I will be praying for the healing of your marriage also. God Bless!<p>[This message has been edited by LUVBUG (edited January 05, 2000).]
