Neryeth
Disciple of Prayer
I'm requesting prayer for my whole family and myself. My sister and nieces have lived with me the last 2 years. It's been rough. My husband stepped out on me again in 2022 and we finally divorced again last year in April of 2023. HE treated my sister, my nieces, my sons, and me horribly by mental and emotional abuse. My sister has had a lot of financial difficulties and was doing a little better, but now, it's bad again. It's been difficult with living with everyone and going through all the nonsense we had all put up with. God opened some doors (or so I thought) and I finally moved from the place where I had lived with my sons and ex-husband for 12.5 years (Doniphan, MO in Southeast Missouri) towards St. Louis where all of the rest of my family lives (Moscow Mills, MO Lincoln County near Wentzville, MO in St. Charles County). I got an apartment that was big enough for me & my sons (because they were originally supposed to move with me, but didn't), I switched to a different department with the State of Missouri which gave me a small raise to help pay bills up here, since I knew that they would be higher (at least for rent and fuel in my vehicle going back and forth to the office (45 mile drive one way). So since I have moved, I don't have a home campus church like I did in Doniphan (His Place Church, which is not listed on your locations on your website). My boys stayed there because they learned to drive down there and were afraid of driving up here with all the traffic. They took over the least on the house we lived in. I left almost everything that I owned there (household items) so that my boys, my sister and my nieces could have it all, to have a new start and new direction in my life, and to finally spend some time alone, and regroup. I have only had 3 weeks to myself since the end of November, and that was not even consecutive, due to my sister following me up here and her financial stuff came back up, repeatedly. Even though most of her and my nieces stuff was down at the house I left. Her vehicle has been having trouble since she bought it a couple of years ago used, and the Missouri Lemon Law wouldn't take her case. So, she's constantly having to repair it. Consistent high balances on all her credit cards, over, and over, and over from circumstances and some bad decisions (I'll just leave it at that). At the beginning of February, February 8th to be exact, my old landlord started messing with my kids and told them that she did not rent to multiple families in one household, or groups of friends (she has for many years and always had done so) and tried to tell them that she was raising the rent to $1800 from $500. That house was not even worth the $500 we had been paying for it, and she didn't have a problem with it for the 3 months I was gone and she accepted their rent. So, I told them they were going to have to find another place or move up here with me. I had been telling all of them since last year that we ALL needed to move away from there, but they wouldn't listen. And now, they were forced to have to move. So, I rented a moving truck at the beginning of March to move everything that was to be moved in that house, which turned into a big fiasco when it shouldn't have either due to NOT planning on my sister and nieces part. My youngest has dealt with emotional and mental issues since 2015 when he was 15 years old from trauma that my ex inflicted when he first stepped out on me back then. He don't deal with change, very well at all. So, in the whole time I had been here, my finances had dwindled, and even though God's got me and has had me, I'm living almost paycheck to paycheck. Trying to urge my sister over the years to curb her unnecessary spending so she can get her own place because as much as I love her, I cannot live with her anymore with my nieces. It's too much! She recently finally found an apartment, and she went to transfer the money off of her pay card (one of the agencies she works for for nursing jobs utilizes a pay card) and transfer it to her bank account to pay the deposit and get the utilities turned on, she was below $0 on her pay card because her account was hacked. They took her for over $1200 dollars and she had been working her butt off for a week and a half! She was so devastated and I've never seen her this upset over anything in our lives! I instantly felt like a big hypocrite for ever feeling the way that I have over the last 2 years about her moving out to her own space. I'm asking for prayers for her for the money that was stolen to be recovered to her and that the ones who are responsible for this, justice is served. I'm asking for emotional, mental, and a financial healing for ALL of us! My boys still have not found a job up here yet, and they're upset because many family members and myself had told them that jobs are plentiful up here, which they are. My youngest son has a car payment and insurance that he needs to pay and his money has dwindled down to nothing, so I'm going to try and help him pay it, but it's hard to do now since my rent jumped up over double what I was paying before. I'm asking for prayer for me to convict me over feeling like I am being taken advantage of over and over again, by my sister and my family, especially financially and emotionally. That is what has happened for years!!!! I'm a giver and give everything of myself to others and I'm left without a voice or a concern. I've tried to change that and God helped me some with that in the past year, but when I speak the truth to certain people, I'm wrong. I need a mental, emotional and financial healing, please, please GOD! I have prayed endlessly since I moved up here for the health and well-being of my family in all forms, but it feels like some doors that were opened are closed now, or the open doors have quit and I'm at a standstill. I just don't know how else to pray or what else to pray anymore. That's why I'm reaching out for help! I'm drained, almost completely where the only relief or rest I get is going to work, or sleep. I know God changes lives, and I have shared God with my sister and my boys over and over again, and my sister and I were brought up in church, but had some bad experiences throughout our childhood with hypocrites, so she is afraid to give up any type of control over to anyone or anything and just will not listen. My boys lost any faith they had in God back in 2015. I think my oldest struggles with his mental and emotional health also, but I don't think his is as bad as my youngest.. I know GOD changes lives and I know that He can do anything!!!! I'm just asking for a big, life changing miracle for all of my family, so I can maybe have peace again, because I don't have it, even though I've tried! My sister needs a win, my boys need a win, and I would like one, but I think my luck has run out and I just need peace a rest. Thank you!!!!
