It's Not Your Fault

My own daughter, whom I have elsewhere referred to as "my prodigal daughter" had returned home after a life of abandoning her Christian background, and was doing SO WELL over the past year. About three weeks ago, she began to appear very paranoid, and was "hearing voices" everywhere. She would come to my house (or her sister's house) in the middle of the night declaring that there were people in the attic with guns who were going to kill us - that our entire family was in danger.

Yesterday morning, she entered a hospital to get help. My heart is broken, as I want so badly for her to "feel normal", and not live a life of fear. While I have long maintained that a lot of her problems were "spiritual", I'm not piling on and accusing her of lack of faith or that her current mental confusion and disorientation is her fault.

Thanks, Nick - timely encouragement.

Wasn't God mpre angry with Job's "friends " because of the victim blaming? And Jesus corrected the twelve disciples when they asked if the blind man or his parents had sinned to cause his congenital blindness? Some must have missed those passages....
