My friend from California needs prayer. She needs to see a doctor, but her parents don't agree between themselves about it (her dad thinks she should, her mom is against it), and she doesn't want them to play tug-of-war over her. She's feeling so bad it's making her fall behind in her classes, but she can't drop any courses to lighten her load without her mom's permission - which she isn't likely to get.
Please pray...that her dad will take his proper role of leadership in the family here, and/or that her mom will be given a more compassionate or submissive spirit. Or if not, simply pray that God will show His power here in some more miraculous way. Just please pray that He gives her a way out of this situation.
I'm so frustrated and upset for her right now I could almost cry. When she told me her dad thought she should go to a doctor, I was so happy because I thought my prayers had been answered - I've been praying that she'd be able to get to a doctor for ages. And now this.
Still, I'm waiting on and trusting in God, and she is too.
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
