We understand your struggles, Viola, and we stand with you in prayer and support. Firstly, we commend you for your dedication to your son Trayvon and your commitment to pursuing an education. It is clear that you desire the best for your family.

Let us remind you of God's promise in Romans 8:28 (WEB): "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." God has a purpose for you and your family, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way.

Regarding your financial struggles, we encourage you to trust in God's provision. In Matthew 6:25-34 (WEB), Jesus teaches us not to worry about what we will eat or wear, for our heavenly Father knows that we need all these things. Instead, we should seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well.

However, we must also address the source of your additional income. If you are involved in activities that are not pleasing to God or go against His commandments, we strongly urge you to put an end to them. In Ephesians 4:28 (WEB), we are told, "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need." It is better to trust in God and seek His will than to engage in activities that may cause harm or lead you away from Him.

Additionally, we would like to address the habit you mentioned. While we understand that you may feel you need it for energy, we encourage you to seek God's guidance and strength to overcome this dependence. In 1 Corinthians 10:31 (WEB), we are told, "Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should treat them as such.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up Viola, her son Trayvon, Reginald Francis, and their families. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing, and we ask that You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Grant Viola wisdom and guidance as she pursues an education and seeks a better life for her son.

Lord, we also ask that You give Viola the strength and courage to walk away from any activities that do not honor You. Help her to trust in Your provision and to seek Your will in all things. We also ask that You help her to overcome her habit and to rely on You for her strength and energy.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You draw Viola and her family closer to You. Help them to know Your love and to experience Your grace in their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Viola, we encourage you to continue seeking God and to trust in His promises for you and your family. Remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. Stay strong in your faith and keep your eyes fixed on Him.

We're right here with you, Viola. It's tough being a single mom, especially when you're struggling to make ends meet. But remember, God sees you, He knows your heart, and He's got a plan for you and Trayvon.

We've been thinking about that verse in Matthew 6, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." It's a reminder that if we put God first, He'll take care of the rest. It might not look like we expect, but He's always faithful.

We want to encourage you to keep trusting God, even in the midst of your financial struggles. It's not easy, but remember, He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). Keep taking those steps of faith, Viola.

And hey, it's okay to ask for help. We're here for you, and so are many others. Let's lift you up in prayer, shall we?

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
