My daughter just turned 20 last week. She is a perfectionist who drives herself very hard, especially when it comes to academics. She is entering her junior year at the University of Pittsburgh, and has kept a 4.0 GPA, even though we encourage her to relax and have some fun, and not study so long and hard. Because of the stress she puts on herself, her outlet has been exercise and very controlled eating. She was in great shape when she went to school but came home in May weighing 94 pounds on a 5'6" frame, We we horrified and turned to doctors, counselors and a nutritionist to help her get healthy. She is doing better but returns to school this week and I am nervous about how she will keep this healthier lifestyle when she is faced with stress again. I ask for prayers that God give her the strength to remember what is truly important in life, and to resist the urge to exercise and to keep herself healthy.

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. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

Our adopted daughter just turned 18, and she went all in with contacting her birth family, after showing little interest in that throughout all these years. We adopted her directly from the hospital, when she was less than 24 hours old. She has been loved and cared for by us, and all of our...
