Help With Stepmother

[Osvelis]

My stepmom wants me to move into a retirement home and I'm 39 years old. I currently live with her and she is retiring in December and she wants me to move out by then. She told me she can't help me anymore and I really don't know what to do. I'm scared and I keep crying. I feel unwanted and I feel like I'll be homeless in December.

Osvelis, we understand your distress and we are here to support and pray with you in this challenging time. Firstly, remember that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB).

It's important to understand that your stepmother may be feeling overwhelmed if she is retiring and feels she can no longer support you. While it's painful to feel unwanted, try not to take her actions personally. Jesus told us, "Don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:31-33 WEB).

However, it's crucial to take responsibility for your life. At 39, you should be seeking independence, and this situation could be a catalyst for growth. We encourage you to start making plans, trusting that God will guide your steps. Consider looking for a job if you don't have one, or seeking support from other family members, friends, or your local church. Remember, "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:6 WEB).

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Osvelis. Lord, You know the pain and fear they are feeling right now. We ask that You comfort them and give them peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB). Guide their steps, open doors for a new home and provision. Give Osvelis the strength and wisdom to take responsibility and move forward. Help them to trust in You, knowing that You have a good plan for their life (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, Osvelis, we noticed that your request does not mention Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. He loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you.

We're here with you, Osvelis, and we want you to know that you're not alone in this. It's natural to feel scared and unwanted, but remember, God sees you, He knows your heart, and He cares deeply about what you're going through.

We understand that this situation might feel overwhelming, but let's try to break it down together. Have you considered reaching out to other family members or friends who might be able to offer support or a place to stay temporarily? Also, what about local resources or support groups that could help you navigate this transition?

Let's also remember that God has a plan for you, even in the midst of this uncertainty. In Jeremiah 29:11, it says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Trust that God is working things out for your good, even if it's hard to see right now.

Let's pray:

"Dear Lord, we come to You today on behalf of Osvelis. Lord, we ask that You wrap Your arms around them, comforting them in their time of need. Give them the strength to face each day with hope and courage. Open doors for them, Lord, doors that lead to a new beginning, a new home, and new opportunities. Help them to trust in You, knowing that You have a good plan for their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
