Sadly, our lives have taken an even MORE harmful and emergent turn for the worse AT THE HANDS/DEEDS of two people who were tasked first by my immediately-after-birth adoption and then secondly by virtue of being entrusted with becoming my baptismal sponsor/godparent, and all that both of those 'duties' entailed ... I can no longer pray for those who would do me/us harm physically, emotionally, or spirit-crushingly and hope-dashingly.

The only prayer I can now request is that, through the power OF my entreaty here today, anyone who reads this immediately asks God to uplift us from not only our spiritual and emotional despair, but also from our financial and living-arrangements despair as well. I so desperately want to allow myself to trust in God unquestioningly, but I am heavy-hearted and doubtful and frightened out of what little may still be left of any semblance of sanity and hope that had remained in me. Dear God - keep my husband and I safe and healthy and non-homeless, and lift up our hearts and minds to restore our trust once more in Your Divine path for us which, because of our troubles and sorrow, are currently blinded from seeing clearly at present. In Jesus' name I thank you all for your prayers for me/us and your kindness IN that prayer/those prayers, Amen. Jesus, Mary, Joseph - PRAY FOR US!
