Pray for My Friend

[airichan623]

I mentioned my friend "Ally" in my last CAA prayer request, but this request is just for her.

She is 14 years old, but is heavily into drugs. She is diagnosably ADHD, OCD, and a supposed habitual liar. There is a history of abuse in her home. She started attending youth group before Christmas break, because her mom wanted her to meet nice people. She smelled of smoke. I reached out to her, and we became friends. Soon afterwards, she ran away from home for almost 16 hours, and made it to a town 10 miles away by walking before she was found by her mother and the police. She ran away a second time a week later and made it to a town 100 miles away with help from a friend with a stolen car before she was found.

In the next few weeks, my Christian ex-boyfriend asks her out 3 hours after we had decided to break up. It was an instance of what you would call "mission dating." And she seemed to be getting better, and stopped using drugs. Then his sister (and my friend) confronted her brother about rumors that he and Ally had been having sex. he said no, but began to ignore his sister. So she confronted Aly, leading to a large fight at a Super Bowl Party.

The next day, my ex and Ally broke up. Ally, heartbroken, texts me to say that she's running away to find drugs. She goes to a nearby town and begins staying with one of her ex-boyfriends, who is a drug dealer. She stays with with for a week, taking a roadtrip to a city 100 miles away from mine. Her mother gave up and didnt even try to find her. Ally returned home 8 days later. She still lived with this drug dealer but has contact with her mom for about a week. She is constantly high. She claims that she and my ex did have sex, and that he got her pregnant, and that she got an abortion. I dont know what to believe. And recently, her dad died suddenly (her parents are divorced, he lived far away)

I do know that her mom is very worried about her because she never hardly talks and she cuts herself. I'm scared for Ally. She attends youth group for maybe 10 minutes but leaves early because my ex isnt there, and she wants to talk to him.

Please pray for her. Pray that she turns her life around and turns to the Lord.

I'll pray.

Update: I thought she might be getting better, because she stayed almost the entire time of youth group a while back, but then last wednesday it got even worse. Apparently, according to this boy and his sister (who is a close friend of mine), she followed him into the men's room and tried to molest him. It has become too much for them to handle, and he and his family are considering getting a retraining order against her.

According to her, however, he seduced her and tried to rape her in the restroom. Her mother is of no help at all, since she believes that her daughter is innocent and the victim here. She may truly believe she is telling the truth, but in reality it is a lie.

Please keep her, and him, in your prayers. They both need our prayers.

Thank you for your prayers. I think I may talk to the police about this. Perhaps, with help from the Lord, they will be able to help her.

It's been a couple months since I first saw this prayer request - has anything changed, or is Ally keeping up the same behaviour?

My goodness, I'll be praying for sure.

It's been a couple months since I first saw this prayer request - has anything changed, or is Ally keeping up the same behaviour?

Unfortunately, its almost as if she has vanished from the face of the earth... no texting back, no attendance at youth group, no facebook posts of any real worth... sadly, nothing. I didn't even know if shes alive until a few days ago when she wrote a tiny bit on her facebook. Since she's not back at church, I would assume she hasn't changed, and my ex and his sister havent heard anything either.

Thank you for your prayers everyone.
