i know how you feel, my mom is the same and its really hard but all we can do is just keep loving them the way that God loves them, when you love the unlovable, you make them lovable, and keep praying for her and lifting her up into the Lord's hands. Keep loving on her and being her friend and always let her know that you are there for her, chances are she will start to see God's light shining through you and want to know why you are always full of love and peace and joy. God knows her heart, and knows what her future holds. Dont try and change her either, because only God can do that. I am speaking from my heart because i know it is hard to see someone you love not care and it does hurt but all we can do is pray.....maybe you wont be the one to lead her to the Lord but maybe you will and it could be days, or years...only God knows.....i will be praying for you and for her, take care and God bless you

Why are you being torn apart? The battle belongs to the Lord, not to us. Our weapons are not carnal, they are spiritual, mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds. Do you have any idea the power of prayer? Put prayer into action for this girl. You don't need to harp on her about God or stress. God is not an idol with ears that don't hear, or eyes that don't see. God promises whatever you ask for in the name of His son, He will surely do it. I prayed for my nonbelieving father for ten years....there was never any sign that he was considering God or Jesus or the bible at all....but four days before he passed away at 91 years old, my father confessed Jesus as His savior.
If we knew how powerful prayer in the name of Jesus Christ is....that's about all we'd be doing.

This is one of the hardest things I have dealt with too.
I make it a priority to pray for all of my unsaved loved ones, neighbors, ect... it is a LONG list.
Be faithful to pray for them, and pray for opportunities.
Live out your faith.
A time may come when your friend may need prayer and she will know that you will pray for her. I have seen lots of hearts soften and be open to the Lord after they have gone through circumstances where they have asked for prayer.
Jesus said in John13:35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another"
I hope this helps, hang in there!

Keep praying.
My brother was in to new age for years. Honestly, I didn't believe he'd ever become a Christian. BIG time Atheist, but we kept praying for him anyway. He's now a born again Christian. Will wonders never cease? Keep praying for her. Once you have God on it, He won't leave her alone.

Tell her, "It is great that you are free from superstition. You KNOW that your loved one did not die because one of the gods was unhappy or it was part of some plan. You should be happy that they were not smote or are burning in hell, because you know there is no such thing."
and then go get some help for YOUR messed-up head. Seriously, she lost a loved one and it's all about "tearing ME up inside."
You narcisstic moron. It's not about YOU, it's HER grief to experience.

1 Corinthians 7 :13,14
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
maybe its the same for others we love
pray for her..God listens

We pray for them a lot and recognise that God is Almighty and can do All things. I cannot change my families heart but God can. He loves them more than I do and He answers prayers.
We must let God be God and recognise our limitations as man. Cast all your cares and worries unto Him for His yolk is easy and His burden is light.

All you can do is keep praying. Just remember, we plant the seed, God brings in the harvest.

grieving people are not well=tuned to Gospel messages; i have had more success in witnessing a few weeks later, when company is not so overwhelming, and the loss not so new
