[__ Prayer __] Urgent Prayer Request...Urgent

[handy]

Please pray for the safety of my best friend's daughter...she is missing and was last seen getting into a black Escalade by her brother. Her parents don't know anyone with that type of vehicle. The sheriffs are looking for her. She's only 17. She has been missing since about 4:00 CA time.

You bet Dora

Dora,

I'll be praying for your daughter's best friend. Hopefully it's just a non-communication issue and nothing else.

Thanks for the prayers. As of this morning there is still no direct word from her, but her brother thinks she was on facebook using her iPod last night. Apparently she has a "fake" facebook account.

What happened was a typical teen rampage...her parents got after her for meeting a guy at a park, something they found out she did by checking her phone. She went ballistic, telling them they had no right to view the text history on the phone they are paying for, so they took the phone away from her. All pretty standard stuff, except that when she stormed out of the house in anger, she wound up climbing into an unknown vehicle and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

I really do hope that was her on fb last night, because it was it would mean that she is probably hanging out at some friend's house and not off with a stranger. I've been praying all along that the Escalade was either a friend her parents don't know, or someone driving their parents car or something. They live pretty far out of town, in California, so the idea of someone being on that road without having been specifically called is pretty coincidental and she didn't have her phone, nor did she call anyone before leaving the house.

It is a terrible worry, it really is. Please keep praying.

Kaylee has been found and is safe. She will be returning home tonight.

Her mom is asking that we still continue to pray for God's healing in the family.

I'm just so glad she's home...

Wow, Dora.

I just caught up with this. It's good to hear she's safe, but it sounds like this family has much more than this incident to deal with. I pray she grows out of this rebellion before she really makes a bad decision.

Mike,

She already did make a really bad decision. She actually did get into an Escalade with people she did not know. We were in prayer that a hedge of protection would be around her and she was being watched over. The people in the Escalade simply brought her to a friend's house. So, so foolish on her part. She thought it was OK since it was a couple. Apparently she either doesn't know, or didn't care, that many serial rapists and sexual predators have women companions that helps them kidnap and hold victims.

Her parents are the ones who do need the most prayer. For so long they have been pushovers with the kids and just cave...I say this not to disparage them, they love their kids very much...but just to give an indication of the true source of the problems they face and where corrections need to begin.

Considering Kaylee got into a car with people she didn't know, and remained safe is an answer to prayer. Thank You God nothing bad happened.

Dora, there are a lot of things I was thinking as I caught up with this thread, but I didn't want to throw that all at you. But since you brought it up...

I don't care if she took off with someone she knew or didn't know. If they weren't abusing her, that's nothing to do to her parents. I was thinking "spoiled and rebellious", and it was just a hunch. If she was so afraid of them looking at her texts, I wondered what kinda stuff she was hiding on it.

I was thinking drugs, booze, whisking off with some older guy... All these were presumptuous, but I read the news. :gah

Most of all, I was thinking, Lord, bring her home. Show her she belongs at home with no more of these tantrums, and eventually on a day of Your Choosing, bring her to Your Home.

Joshua (16) has hormonal flare-ups once in a while where he says he has it so bad here with us. (It's not so bad here. My wife and our daughters aren't as mean as me. ) But I've had times when I had to go through a laundry list of what we do for him EVERY DAY, where we drive him, what we pick up for him, WHO we pick up for him, that we do LOVE him... and he calms down. He knows we love him! Kudos to teens who never take their parents for granted. Most do, but to do what she did would call for serious intervention. If they can't find it within themselves to say "no" to some things, they're going to have to learn.

Thank you Great God for answering our prayers! I have had a very young child kidnapped before and God returned him.

I will continue to pray for this family.
