This is so ridiculous it would be hilarious were it not so serious... Actually, since I'm quite confident that YHWH will protect us through it I am actually seeing the funny side and chuckling as I write this, but we would certainly appreciate prayer right now!
I have an old university friend who is clinically insane, manic depressive & bipolar. In reality, she's possessed by a legion of demons. She's been up and down with this for over a decade, in and out of mental institutions. She had a severe episode recently and ended up in a psychiatric facility near where we live.
Her current delusion is that:
So, I just installed a lock on our front door today (it never had one before, never needed it, we live in the country...). We have just finished praying around the house for protection.
Prayers for the protection of our children, and for her to be delivered from her demons, would both be appreciated.
What makes this particularly amusing is the fact that when polygamy happened to come up in conversation with her once in the past she thought it was absolutely terrible, and tried very hard to persuade Sarah that she'd never be able to cope with it... Clearly she's been pondering the idea enough for it to be entwined into her delusional view of reality by now though. For me, I much prefer the idea of a real, sane additional wife to having an insane woman thinking she's my other wife, but I suppose I should take it as a compliment...

Her current delusion is that:
- Our six children are actually hers. She is particularly infatuated with our second-youngest child, who is one, and she thinks looks just like her own son (he actually looks completely different...)
- Supposedly she is my first wife, who I married at university, making Sarah my second wife (or 4300th wife, to quote her)
- Sarah is stealing "her" children and keeping her from seeing them
