Please pray for us. I am exhausted and struggling to find the words to pray anymore about my child's college situation. I have prayed for years, but I feel like I don't know how to pray anymore. It’s as though we are defeated. We don’t understand why she lets things slip, hides from the reality of her circumstances, and fails to seek help when it’s needed. It feels like we are constantly playing a guessing game, trying to figure out how to support her in a way that will help her succeed.

I feel bitterness building up inside me, and I struggle with feelings of resentment over the pain she’s caused and the wasted opportunities I see in her life. So many promises and plans made, but none come to fruition. The hardest part is her hiding the truth from us and letting things spiral to crisis levels where it’s almost too late to change course.

When I pray, I can’t shake the feeling that the situation is beyond help. I know, in human terms, how she ended up here. But I don’t understand why she seems unable to learn from past mistakes or find the strength to do the work, no matter how tired or uninterested she may feel.

Please pray for my peace and for the peace of all who are involved. I long for a breakthrough, though I’ve been praying for this for over three years. I want to believe that God can still deliver her and bring life to dry bones. Pray that, even with a GPA that might seem unchangeable, and doors that have closed because of it, she can find her purpose through her God-given talents. Pray that the Lord will provide a way for her to demonstrate her abilities, bring glory to Him, and build her confidence, no matter how the past has unfolded.
