A prayer for my foster daughter please......

[knife7knut]

As many of you may or may not know my ex-wife and I were emergency foster parents for many years before we finally decided to go our separate ways. Several of our foster children that we had for an extended period of time(several years rather than a few days)still keep in touch with me and my ex-wife.
One of our girls had fallen in with some bad people and had become addicted to heroin.She finally checked into a rehab unit and after several months had come out clean. Sadly it was not to last.
My youngest son called me last night to inform me that she had OD'd on a "Speedball"(a mixture of heroin and cocaine)and the people she was hanging around with dumped her in front of a hospital and took off. She was diagnosed with sepsis from a contaminated needle and a further complication was damage to her heart and liver and a drastic dropping in her platelet count which can lead to uncontrolled internal bleeding.They put her into an induced coma to slow the process while they look for a place to send her for the surgery her heart requires due to their inability to perform it at the hospital she is at.My son and my ex-wife and her sister(who my ex-wife is adopting)drove up there to be with her but the prognosis is not too good.
I don't normally ask for anyone's prayers but in this case I feel that I must.She is way too young to die.

Almighty and merciful Father, by the power of your command, drive away from this beautiful woman all forms of sickness and disease.
Restore strength to her body and joy to her spirit, so that in renewed health she may bless and serve you, now and forevermore.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen. Godspeed

First off, I admire and commend you for your past work with foster kids. I understand that it can be both rewarding and frustrating at the same time.

The drug addiction epidemic is both heartbreaking and tragic. It is horrible to see young people get caught up and in it, and seem powerless to break away from it.

I will be happy to say some prayers for your foster daughter, as well as your family. I hope that things will turn around for her.

Ray, I can’t tell you how saddened I am to read about this. My prayers are for you and your family.
I don’t know why things happen like they do sometimes, but I know the grace of God is far deeper, far wider and far greater than I will ever understand.
God’s blessing on you and your family.

K7K,
Such a sad story. The only bright spot maybe that some one will be shocked into reality by such a loss and change their path.
Life is very tough but the Lord gives us grace to deal with all the unpleasantness we encounter.
Praying the Lord will give you and all involved strength to deal with this tragedy.
