Disciple of Prayer
Please pray for my family. My husband, Benjamin and I are in need of help. He hasn't been himself in quite some time. Stress and recent hardship has turned him into someone else. He started to change when he lost his job several months ago. We've struggled financially since and have had to move from our home of 11years because we couldn't afford the rent. It seems like one thing after another. We have 5 kids and no money for Christmas. The stress of my husband not being able to find a job is essentially what landed him in jail a few days ago. We had an argument and I took a step towards him and he pushed me away, not violently nor with the intent to hurt me. Someone called the cops and he was arrested. He has changed so much but he doesn't belong in jail. He didn't mean any harm. He was trying to simply keep me away from him. Nothing like this has happened before to us. I feel it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to see a psychiatrist and have a mental health evaluation, but he doesn't need jail. He struggled with depression for many years before he was better. Now, he doesn't take any meds to treat it. We need help as a family. He needs to be allowed to get out of jail so he can find work and we can get back on our feet. This year has been the worst we've ever had as a family. I don't know what to do anymore. I am not able to work at this time myself. Please, say a prayer for my family to heal. We need help.
