I'm Drowning And Your Prayers Would Be A Life Raft

[Anonymous]

My two daughters and I have been abandoned by my Husband of 20 years. He gave into his alcoholism and decided that he wanted to drink and be free more than he wanted to be a part of his family and provide for us. I was granted alimony by a judge which helped, but he promptly quit his job and has gone into hiding to avoid paying it. We are struggling to survive. I stayed at home with the kids for many years and do not have much to put on my resume, but I am still seeking employment all day, everyday. I will scrub toilets with a toothbrush if I have to... I don't care, I just want to survive. At first I was praying for restoration for my marriage, but it's clear that he truly does not care if we eat or survive and he has not talked to his kids in almost six months. It's like we were trash he no longer needed and he simply threw us out. Now I just really need prayer for provision more than anything else. We are down to nothing. I have moved in with my mom who is 72 and can't retire because of me and my children. I am praying so hard that God will provide a means for me and my daughters to survive and lighten my mom's load. Please pray for us! Please! I need a job or someway to collect what was legally ordered for my husband to pay to help us... or both. God help me! I have been praying and trying to find work for six months and I am getting tired. Hanging by a thread and it even it is frayed.  At first this strengthened my faith now it is being shaken and getting weak. I need a break. I seriously I can't take much more. My kids and I are broken in every way. Why would God want this for us?

I prayed for this. In Jesus Name. Amen.
