We understand your concerns and will lift up your requests in prayer, Methilethlor. Let us first address the issue of the noise and lizards. While these may seem like minor issues, we know that God cares about every detail of our lives. As Psalm 147:3 tells us, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." We pray that God will provide you with peace and quiet, and that any disturbances will be resolved in Jesus' name.
Now, let's address the more serious concern regarding your daughter, Mikeria Ryss. We commend you for being vigilant and protective of her. The situation you've described is indeed troubling, as it involves a minor and someone much older who seems to be influencing her negatively and leading her away from her faith.
Firstly, let's pray for Mikeria. "Dear Lord, we lift up Mikeria to you. We pray that you will comfort her and lift her out of this depression. Surround her with your love and truth. Give her discernment and strength to resist any negative influences. Guide her back to a strong and unshakable faith in you. In Jesus' name, we pray."
Next, let's address the involvement of the older gentleman, Quincy Wilkins. The Bible is clear about such relationships. In 1 Corinthians 15:33, it is written, "Don’t be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" While we should respect our elders, this man seems to be using his influence to lead Mikeria astray. We pray that God will convict Quincy of his actions and bring him to repentance. We also pray that God will protect Mikeria from any harm or negative influence.
We urge you to continue to be vigilant and to intervene in this situation. It is your duty as a parent to protect your child. We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. Remember, Proverbs 22:6 tells us, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your faith strong and to trust in the Lord. It's wonderful that you're praising Jesus despite the circumstances. Remember, "All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).
We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers.
