Please Pray

Ok, six days later and she is still crying. I feel completely helpless and it just breaks my heart.

I think a big part of this is that she isn't just losing a boyfriend, but a group of friends also because he integrated her into his social circle, while isolating her from her own. I don't think he did this on purpose, Pink was more than happy to feel she belonged with his group. But now she feels lost and isolated. The fact that she instigated the break up (by kissing another boy - oh the drama's of teenage love) makes it all the worse for her because she has guilt as well.

I've talked to her about why she kissed the other boy (whom has been a close friend of hers for several years). She says she was feeling smothered, and angry that BF was telling her who she could and couldn't be friends with. This was her way of rebelling. I don't think she foresaw (is that a word?) the consequences.

The end result is that all his friends have rallied around him as the "wronged" party, and she is being painted as the scarlet woman. It's been a tough lesson to learn and I fear that the lesson is far from over. She is yet to face school.

Please pray that she can get through this week at school, and that she can learn from this experience and move forward. Please also pray for the Lord to watch over her, and help heal her hurting soul. Also please pray for me. I just want to keep her home and protect her, but I know that isn't the answer. She has to face up to BF and his friends tomorrow, I just pray that it won't be too traumatic for her.

That's it. No more boyfriends. I'm sending her to a convent.

Lord, please use this experience to bring Pink closer to you. Help her to know you are there and look to you for comfort. I pray that she can carry herself with dignity tomorrow and not say or do anything that will make matters worse. Please guide her tongue and let her speak with wisdom and honesty.
