Kicked out

[Riku777]

Kicked out of heart and home. No this isn't for me just so ya know. I have a friend named Jordan, she's pretty cool, but she gets into the wrong kinds of trouble and she needs help a lot. A lot of the time she's trying to tell me something through tears and I try to give her advice and encouragment.

Ok she's had a rough life. She ran away from her old home a long time ago because her parents always verbaly abused her and such, and she didn't talk to them so well either. One problem is she's got a big attitude. Eventually she came back, but now her parents are divorced, so now she has a step mom and dad to deal with too. She cuts her wrists a lot, and she lets me know the next day at school if she did or not the other night. Another problem is she takes too much upon herself, so others problems become her's mentaly, emotionaly and physically. So Jordan's basically punishing herself for stuff that's not her fault. She has the wrong kinds of friends aswell. She hangs around with people who smoke and do drugs, I'll have to finish this later cause I g2g. sorry. i'll edit it as soon as I can and add the rest.

I'll pray for her and that, if God wills it, you can be a witness to her.

I'll be praying for your friend Jordan. Life is full of ups and downs and some people never learn efficient ways of dealing with it. My advice, although not much is to continue to be there for her. You can't force her to do anything, but you can sure try to make a difference. Reassure her that she is loved, and that she doesn't have to take on more then she can take. Also, let her know (or re-emphasize) that you are always willing to listen and help the best you can... that in itself makes a difference. Always keep you heart.
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.." Prov 17:22.

I'll keep her in my prayers.

It seems to me that she is looking for attention. She seems to be struggling to find her identity and push her boundaries in a bad environment. I recommend you give her attention, but be very careful. Keep your wits about you and remember who you are and who God wants you to be. It would be very easy to fall into a trap here.

The last thing you want and the last thing she needs is for you to become her enabler - the one who helps her rationalize/keep her destructive behavior. Know you boundaries and do not cross them. Encourage her to stay within Godly boundaries as well, but if she will not, do not follow her to ruin.

im praying too.
dear God, thank You for Your daughter, jordan. please bless her in these hard times, help her to know that your there and that you care for her. let her see something in riku, something that she wants, let it be You, Father. let your light and your love shine through riku and be extended to jordan. your word says that we are the light of the world and the salt of the earth, let riku be exactly that to jordan. when he opens his mouth, God, give him the words to say that jordan needs to hear. thankyou for his influence in her life. let your love and your wisdom surround her with every step she takes. help her to see the things that are missing in her life and rather than turning to drugs and alcohol let her turn to you to fill those empty places in her life. God, i pray that you would give her strength to be able to make it through the day and not be shaken. let her confide in You, help her realize that You are her rock, her hiding place in times of need. soften her parents and step mothers hearts towards her and help give them compassion towards her. when shes feeling empty and alone and goes to cut herself, be that voice to whisper in her ear and comfort her, give her the courage not to cut. when she has those moments let her turn to you and pray. show her signs and miracles that will prove to her that Your there and Your listening to every cry. heal her brokeness, heal her pains. by the Blood of Christ, amen.
