Please pray for me. My voice is going in and out and I need my voice so that I can do my job. I have dealt with the humiliation of turning myself in and going to jail. Thankfully, I was released on personal recognizance. But at the hearing to establish child support for my son, I was given a temporary order to pay $300 a month until I go back to court in October. With all of my expenses, I don't know how I'm going to come up with this extra money. And on top of this, my son's birthday is coming up in 2 weeks and I don't know if I'll even have any money to buy him a gift. He's going to be 4 and I would atleast like to be able to get him something. I am still looking for another job, preferrably something that I can do at home so that I can save up and move into my own place. I don't have much time left and I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I just want some peace in my life before I die. Thank you.

Please pray for me. I've gotten the results of the Pap smear. It was negative but the HPV was positive. So I have to take this test again next year when I take my physical. I've started the dental work by at least getting my teeth cleaned. But I don't know where I'm going to get the money for the rest of the work that needs to be done. My son's aunt had the surgery and is doing well in her recovery. For now, my weight is stable. But I have more to worry and wonder about. Because of something I said in trying to protect my boyfriend/son's father, I may have jeopardized my freedom. I don't know what's going to happen and I don't want to go to jail. I'm scared and extremely worried for myself and my boyfriend and I don't know what to do. So please pray for some type of miracle on our behalf. Thank you.

Please pray for me. I have found a job and been with the company for almost a year even though I almost got fired. My boyfriend and I have gotten another phone so that people, family, etc. can contact us and we even have the internet again. But we're still behind on the rent. Our son is doing great with potty training and his speech is improving daily. Hopefully, he'll be in daycare soon so that he can interact with kids his age. His aunt/guardian still hasn't had the surgery yet to remove the fibroids. But I recently found out that I have a small fibroid. I am also waiting for the results from my Pap smear. I need dental work done but don't have the funds to pay for it. My hair is starting to come out again from worrying about stuff and my weight is yo-yoing again. A whole of things are going on and I don't know what to do or how to cope. And as if that isn't enough, I think that my boyfriend might be cheating on me even though I want to leave him but haven't told him yet. I really feel like saying to heck with everything and giving up because I'm so tired and hurt. So please pray for my health and strength as well as some type of breakthrough. Thank you.

Please pray for me. I didn't get the job with Rent-A-Center and I'm not sure about the job with DC Superior Court either. However, I'm working again with Target but at a different location. Please pray that I can find either another part-time job or one full-time job that pays more than what I'm currently making. While I'm thankful for what I have, it's still not enough. My boyfriend and I are still behind on our rent and he's had to pawn some things to try and help us to get caught up. We have lost the house phone because I couldn't afford to pay the bill and now we might lose the internet as well. On the upside, one of my friends from church came through and helped us with some personal supplies and a whole bunch of canned goods. And another friend has said that she would try to help me get a job that pays more. My mother has been laid off from her job and doesn't know if she's going to get another one. My son has started daycare but had to stop because he had an asthma attack on his first day. Thankfully, he's doing okay now and should be going back this week. His aunt/guardian is having surgery today to remove a tumor and a couple of fibroids so that she'll be able to conceive. A whole lot of different things are going on and I just don't know what to do or how to handle all of this. I really feel like just giving up. So please pray for some type of miracle-some type of breakthrough for us. Thank you.

Please pray for me. I'm on hold about the job with Rent-A-Center. I also have yet to find out about the deputy clerk position with DC Superior Court. However, I have gotten a job with Target again but at a different location. So at least I'll have some type of income. My boyfriend and I have paid off the rent for August because I got help from my church but we still owe for September and are unsure of how it's going to get paid. On top of everything else, we're getting ready to lose the house phone and internet connection if it's not paid by this coming Tuesday. And we need a phone in case one of us falls ill or my job is trying to contact me. We also need the internet because I put in applications and my boyfriend uses it for his computer work. We're also low on food and basic personal supplies but we're managing for the time being. I had asked my mother again if she could help us with the phone bill since my boyfriend had gotten a suspension letter but she can't help us. So please pray for some type of miracle for us that we won't lose the only means of communication that we have. Thank you.

Please pray for me. Yesterday, I had a second interview for a job with Rent-A-Center. I should be hearing something from them soon. I checked my email yesterday morning and found that I was invited to take the assessment to become a Metro Bus Operator. And I was also called yesterday about a deputy clerk position with the DC Superior Court. So I'm very glad that at least at this point, there are jobs that are interested in me. For the time being at my boyfriend's request, I'm holding off on the food stamps since it's a possibility that they would deny me because of my income. So we're getting by on going to local food banks. We're still trying to finish paying the rent for last month as well as the rent for this month. The bright side is that at least the landlord is willing to work with us if we can hurry up and finish paying off last month's rent. My boyfriend is a little sad because his cell phone was turned off. He had no money to pay for it this month. Now we're in danger of the house phone and internet being turned off because we have no money to pay it and it's due today. In addition to that, our cable is going to be turned off next week because we have no way to pay for it. So we're going to be looking at each other and 4 walls. What is our son supposed to watch when he comes over now? At least with the cable, I could find some channels that he could watch that were educational. I asked my mom to help us out but she said that she couldn't because she had to fix her car. And if I make plans to go to the job interview for the deputy clerk position, I have no way of getting there unless I walk because I have no money to catch the bus or the train. So please pray for a miracle for me. I am thankful for what has happened regarding my job situation but I need some serious help fast! Thank you.

Please pray for me. I am still looking for work and wodering how the bills will get paid. My boyfriend and I still owe rent for this month and I don't know how we're going to pay the rent and telephone bills for next month. I have found out that my unemployment isn't going to be reinstated because my benefit year is up. So we have no money coming in at all right now. We're getting ready to be out of basic supplies like soap and toilet tissue and toothpaste and we have no money to buy more. We're almost out of food so I've taken to eating just once a day or not at all to try and make the food last a little longer. Without my boyfriend's knowledge, I applied for food stamps so that we would have a way to have food in the house. I hope that I get approved but I'm more worried about having a place to stay. Our apartment is in his name and if the landlord evicts us, I have some place to stay. He doesn't and that also worries me because I don't want to lose our relationship. We're trying to work things out for ourselves and our son. So please pray for a miracle for me. I am in desperate need of some type of miracle rght now. Thank you.

Please pray for me. I was fired from my part-timr job after 2 weeks. Now I'm back to square one. On top of that, my unemployment benefits have been at least temporarily stopped while they reset me in the system. That process will take 10-21 days and I need the money like ASAP! So please pray that my unemployment benefits will be reinstated very soon and that I can keep them until I find a job more suitable to my skills. Yesterday was my boyfriend's birthday so please pray for his health and strength and that he will soon find work too because I can't continue to try and take care of everything by myself. We have a son to consider and the goal is for one or both of us to get stable enough so that we can take care of him ourselves. So please pray for me and my boyfriend. Thank you.

Please pray for me. I have gotten a part-time job working nights for now and I'm still receiving my unemployment benefits for the time being. Please pray that I will adjust to the schedule because this is the first job that I've ever worked overnight. Also please pray that I will be grateful and patient until something more suited to my skills comes along. My boyfriend helped my to get this job. And while I'm glad to be working, I know this isn't what I want to do for the rest of my life. Presently, I'm only making $0.05 more than my last retail job and that's not nearly enough to live on and make an attempt to pay bills. Please also pray for a breakthrough in me and boyfriend's relationship that things will get better instead of getting worse. I love him very much but I'm only one person and there's only so much that I can stand. After all, everyone has their limit. My ultimate goal is to be able to be in a solid job with benefits and stable living environment so that I will be able to have custody of my son. By the way, my son is continuing to grow and learn every day. He'll be 2 in August. Thank you.

Please continue to pray for me. Since my last prayer request, I've had 2 job interviews and my unemployment benefits have been extended. My son's aunt/legal guardian has also gotten a job and decided not to move to South Carolina for the time being. I had a job orientation today for a part-time seasonal position with Target. It's not really what I would like to have in terms of a job. But help me to at least be grateful that I have something meaningful to do to occupy myself until I can find a job better suited to my needs and skills. Please also pray that my boyfriend will find out what is wrong with his right leg and stop procrastinating about getting his hernia corrected so that he can find work and become employed. Things would certainly be alot easier if both of us were employed instead of just me. So please continue to pray for my overall health and well-being as I continue to try and make it through this very difficult time in my life. Thank you.
