NO CONTROL!

Its really sad to watch someone you love going down deeper and deeper into dark places. Places of doom and gloom that I would imagine replicate Hell. Dingy, miserable, dark, lonely and very painful.

Then when you try and talk some sense into their dilemma, they believe that you are criticizing them and they take immediate offense. However, you are trying to get them to make responsible decisions, decisions that will move them out of that hellhole.

This causes them to pull away from you which is bad for them because they don't have another crutch. What do you do?

Call on Jesus, He is your only hope in situations like this. Pray to Him and trust that He will show you how to bring them into a brighter place, closer to Him.

Lord Jesus, thank you that You are so close and forever watchful over us and ours. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
