Last weekend she wouldnt go because she said that our church doesn't approve of her black boyfriend, and this weekend she said she wouldn't go because if Jesus was real he wouldn't let us live in a trailer with "no food".
When I told her she was being crazy like those muslims she spat on me and we tussled in the living room, breaking my Nascar lamp and a few of my liquor bottles that were near the window . It only ended when I was able to get a good enough grip on her neck so that she passed out. I tied up her hands with a ziptie from my lawnbags and called the police.
The whole time my 2 year old was crying and the dog was barking, I think my neighbors might have heard the noise. I'm embarrased my kid doesn't want to go to church and accept Jesus.
I'm at my ropes end & its been a hard week with my other kids, so I don't know what to do to get her to seek the word.
Any suggestion?

someone needs to smakc that spoiled brat and put her in her place. you are her mother, she may not be the happies girl, may not have the best house whatever, but at least she has a roof, at least she has food and she has a mother. secondly, a good smack and putting he rin her place does not mean chocking her out. thats abuse. and the liquor maybe needs to leave the house too. that prolbably doesnt make matters any better. i think you all need some professonal help! and prayer

Jesus comes to us in several different ways. I believe that Jesus has inspired you to post a question here and has inspired me to give you a piece of advice: look for help with social helpers and seek for counseling.
I have had this 'message' to seek for counseling when I was a teen after having prayed a lot and so I started therapy and it was the best thing I have ever done my whole life.
Set your life and your kids life free cause it was for freedom that Jesus has set us free not for us to live as slaves to problems or difficulties.
There is no shame on looking for help. Seek counseling.

You know there's a saying if you cant lead the horse to drink water then it will thirst...first of all your daughter does not want to go to church with you because your church does not accept her black boyfriend...i tell you true any church should accept any colour, because it signifies Gods house, God would not turn anyone away...maybe she has a point...but to be coming to blows with your own daughter, and for her to spit on you, what is going on?.... this behavior from both of you is out of line...you both need to come to some agreement, or compromise, before things really get out of hand.

first of all, do not force her to do what you think is best for her. right now, she thinks she knows whats best for herself, and you wont change it, i may be wrong , but my first thought was when i read you problem is that she has been brainwashed by something or someone. your duty now is to pray for her, believe that god will work a miracle in her life & she will be able to want to have god in her life without being forced . i dont know how i know, but please believe me when i say that within the next 6 months, she will be a different person, pray & ask god to put his workers in her path to witness to her. keep praying that she will see the way , that you arent her enemy, that you are there for her, but start praying for her right now, speak & pray in the spirit until her life is filled with gods love, but dont stop all togather, keep praying. she is as you are , gods child. let me know if you start hearing & seeing the love & miracle working power of god at rje46805@yahoo.com.

Your daughter needs to make that decision (in regards to her relationshiop with God or what ever diety you call him) and about going to church on her own. Because it is a personal relationship and a personal decision. If she chooses to go the other way...there is nothing that you can do but pray for her.

I think your daughter have a right to choose her way of life. I know this answer is not likely to go down well with you, but when one looks at religious harmony then there is nothing to separate between whether you are a Catholic, Anglican, Buddhist or whatever.

You can't be embarrased for you kids. It's her decision to "accept Jesus" and as much as you can try to make her, you can't force someone to accept religion. From the sounds of things, it sound like you haven't really "accepted Jesus" anyway.

first quit drinking and clean up your act

third try living a christ like life and start praying

Dont Force your daughter to go. My mom tried that with me and when i did go i sat there and didnt pay attention and i was always playing around. She has her beliefs and you have yours, you cant force your beliefs on to your daughter. If you keep doing that your gonna push her to far and your family may not recover from that! Just think about it!
