I am sad because my daughter's friends who used to like me don't seem to like me anymore. I stand over my daughter when she is using her iPod and I read the chat messages that her friends send to her and vice versa. Her friends think I am weird because I don't want my daughter on her iPod a lot. It was a mistake letting her get one because if I allowed it she would be on it all the time. I just wanted her to be kept up with the times because they have changed since I was a kid. I told my daughter that I don't want her to get cyber-bullied and that it's nice to talk to her friends in person. It is a fear of mine that someone might say something to her. She should only have people that she doesn't talk to or see on a regular basis on her iPod, like her cousins or friends that live far away. Some of her friends refused to come to her birthday party because they are not fond of me. When I go to my daughter's school two of her friends smirk when they see me. I don't think my daughter notices this which is a good thing. I don't want my daughter to be embarrassed of me. All I want to do is love her and protect her. I don't want her to have to deal with things that are beyond her understanding. She is only 11 years old. On another note, last year one girl in school was being mean and saying mean things to my daughter. I asked my husband to phone this girl's mother and have a talk with her to let her know what is going on. I was hoping that she would nip the behavior in the bud and that things would be better between the girls. My husband did phone but the mother wasn't too happy about it. It was wrong. It made things worse. This girl doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. I know I would want to know if my daughter was not treating someone properly. I would definitely discuss it with her. But the mother told me that her daughter is entitled to feel the way she does. My daughter is not a bully. In fact, she is kind of timid and shy and I wish she would be stronger than she is. I pray that these girls who I know are starting to go through puberty that they realize that I am not their enemy.

You are a good parent! No good parent will get 100% approval from their children's friends if you are doing your job as a good parent!

God,

Abba Father, Protect this mother from insecurity that the devil is whispering in her ear. Lord speak life into this mom and show her what you mean to her - (You knit her together in her mother's womb. She is fearfully and wonderfully made. - You love her with an everlasting love.) She is a blessing to her daughter because of how much she loves her daughter, please help the mom to cling to that knowledge and help her to dwell on what is true, noble, lovely and worthy of praise. If any childish person does snicker at her this they are in the wrong and immature so let it not bother her but help her to pray for their salvation. IT is a problem inside that person, not a sign of any lack in this beautiful, loving mother. Replace lies with truth Lord. Give this mom strength to continue to make tough decisions that protect her daughter. Help her to pray to you for guidance and walk in your ways, so that her path is clear and bright. She will not need any doubt for herself when the direction comes from you Lord.

We love you and thank you for these answered prayers.

In Jesus Name

Amen

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect.
