Jayiva
Disciple of Prayer
I kindly ask to be prayed over and prayed with as I struggle to navigate a new role as a guardian to my niece. I have to protect her from her own mother, my sister. I have to protect her from everything else in the world too. I feel so powerless and helpless and scared. Please pray that I do right by this little girl. Please pray that she will understand why I have to be the "bad guy" sometimes someday, and pray she doesn't hate me for trying to give her a better life where she doesnt have to raise herself. Please pray for her while she struggles to cope with the dysfunction and trauma, and struggles to adapt to the better life I am giving her. Please pray with me that she never falls under the spell of manipulation her mother is trying to cast on her, and turns against me. I need strength. I feel so small.
