Dear God,
GET ME OUT OF HERE! I am going crazy!!! Marilyn is trying to make my life a living hell. I realize Satan is supposed to attack me and all, but my sister is a tool? I can't believe that. I just wish she would realize what she's doing to all of us. She's being rebellious for all the wrong reasons. She tells me at night, when she sneaks in here, that she doesn't know why she wants to dress like she does or hang out with the people she calls "friends". She tells me that these people barely know her. I've been trying to tell her not to if she doesn't like it, but it's not that she doesn't like it it's that she's being drawn to these people.
Please tell me it's because they need to be saved, and it's not what I fear the most. I can barely even say it. No, I won't. Please help her. I beg of You, call to her, pull her back to You, hold her in Your arms. I couldn't stand it if she was being pulled away from You. I know that hopelessness, I know that emptiness. I never want to go back to that, and I never want anyone else to feel that ever again if I can help.
The only good thing that happened today was I started to help with the school's tutoring program. I am now helping sophomores in English and History, which I love because Mrs. Lovel's class was amazing, as was Mr. Krone's. Two of my favorite teachers ever.
Thank You for today, as hard as it was. Thank You for carrying me through it. Please help me tonight if Marilyn sneaks into my room. Give me the words to bring her back to You.5

Love,
Jaquelyn 6
