Please come along side my family. I'm struggling some days just to feel like I have it together with our 1 child. The decision has been made that we are going to take in 2 kids from our extended family who are in state care at this time and needing permanent placement. I am feeling so broken about this. I know they need us. I know they need a future they've never been even offered before, but so deserve. But it's beyond me. I am terrified and don't know what to do. The commitment has been made and final steps are being taken to do all the state requires so the kids can be placed with us. I'm just so afraid and wish I could take it all back. I want to do God's will for my life, and especially for the lives of these kids. I just don't know if I can... Please pray.
My daughter has just turned 16 a week ago. Yesterday her father called me (divorced 9 years and he lives 150 miles away) and informed me that she's decided she's not coming home (she's there for winter break). Today she went on social media to make claims that she is mentally, emotionally, and verbally abused in my home. Is she corrected, yes. Is she scolded at times for her inappropriate choices, yes. Do voices get raised sometimes, yes. But does she flip attitude and venom on a regular basis towards everyone else in the household, a huge yes. She is so lost right now and struggling with depression. But she claims she'll run away if I force her to come home. This is an ongoing battle every time she spends any kind of time at her dad's. We desperately need God's intervention and for her heart to be filled with wisdom.
I am struggling so much right now . My husband is not a believer. He has serious health issues that, when combined with the pain meds he is given, makes him a less than pleasant person. He is extremely stubborn and often talks down to me about how "I am". I'm to sensitive, I take things to personally, a lot of how I perceive things is in my head, even going so far as to inform me I'm crazy. He is so negative about my oldest daughter and won't listen to anything I have to say about our daughter. I am so unhappy. I know on some level I've started to check out of my marriage because I'm just so broken by how I'm treated, and I know that's not right. But he's made it clear he has no use for God and no intention of changing. So I'm left feeling so alone and hurt all the time. I need God to show me what to do. I am so lost.
Please pray with me. My family has an amazing opportunity right now. It will not only be a blessing to us, but allow us to bless others. All of it hangs on one thing happening. It can happen one of two ways, and I dont know which way to go. Please pray for wisdom and that things will come together. Thank you and God bless
I am struggling with depression and anxiety a lot lately. I feel so weak and worthless. Add to all of my internal stresses I am looking at taking a position within the company I work for that would be less taxing to my body. I desperately want the job but am so fearful of not getting it and being devistated. I feel like this position is where I'm supposed to be. Please pray for peace in my heart and mind in all things and Gods overwhelming presence to fill every aspect of my life. Thank you and God bless!
My brother and sisters in Christ, I have a urgent request for prayer. My good friends mom is currently in the hospital and not doing well. My friend just learned from the doctor that they may only be looking at a short period of time before her mom will no longer be with them. Please lift her mother, Carol, up for peace in these moments. Also, please pray for my friend, her kiddos, and the rest of the family as they come to such a hard moment of having to say goodbye to a loved one.
Help all of them to feel your loving presence Lord, and help Carol to hold on to the love of Christ as her promise for the next part of her journey. In Jesus name. Amen
I was married April 1st. My husband needs to find his way to a relationship with Christ. I also need prayers as I hurt my ankle March 3rd and am dealing with L&I so it's taking forever and my ankle isn't getting any better. My elbow is also very sore lately and I can't afford anything new to go wrong. Please pray protection over my daughters as well. God bless
Please pray fo my boyfriend, Travis. He has a number of medical mountains that he's facing right now. And to make the situation even more of a struggle, he's not a Christian, so he doesn't even have God to rely on. I want God to get ahold of his heart so badly. He talks about us marrying, but I am so lost on what God wants me to do with this relationship. Thank you, God bless.
Father God, right now I am in a fight with and for my daughter. She is only 12, but she thinks her wants should be catered to no matter what. I am trying to look at the bigger picture and do what is best for her future. Her father isn't helping the situation either. Please help me to know what road to take and if I should keep fighting or just give up.
Submit your prayer request. Thousands of caring people will see it and pray for you.
