Father in heaven, I pray for encouragement and for trust and hope in you. Concern over my daughter and the depression she suffers almost over every little thing is slowly and systematically taking its toll on my own emotions and physical health . While there are concerns in her life, her reactions and responses to life's challenges appear to be extreme. I pray that she will develop a heart of gratitude for the things she does have . I pray for wisdom to know how to talk to a person prone to anxiety and depression, which she has almost constantly suffered she moved with her family to another country. Her husbands home country in fact . I know she misses her own family a great deal and has experienced social isolation and lack of friends . However even minor issues bring on acute depression in her to the point where she sounds almost incoherent on the phone. I am extremely worried for her and am having a difficult time as a result of all of this myself. I suspect she may be back on the cocktail of anti depressant drugs the doctors had her on not so long ago. I ask for wisdom and strength for myself to help her deal with her issues, and I pray for a new heart and mind within her. She is loved, and both her and her husband, and 4 little children are well supported by her father and me , financially and otherwise. Surely she knows she has parents who love her dearly, yet she never seems happy, and her depression is frightening when she is in the full throws of it . Please Lord help her , give her the clarity of mind , and the emotional stability she needs . She knows you and loves you, please turn her heart to you first and foremost from which will come her strength. Help me too Lord as I am weary and heavy laden. In Jesus name amen
