Beloved of All
Hi, I am requesting prayers for my family. It’s a bit of a long story, but I will try to condense. I am married(32+ years),and we have 2 adult children. Our oldest lives in another country now(she’s very happy); our youngest lives at home and suffers from a few disorders that prevent him from acclimating into society on his own. My spouse is retired; but he is very ill. I pray daily that God gives me more time with him. Our finances are in shambles as medical bills have overrun us. When we married we agreed I’d be a hands on mom, so I quit work and gave a lot of myself to raising two fine individuals. (And they both are). Recently, anything and everything has went wrong. We are financially strapped(I’ve returned to work at 56) to help. We will most likely lose our home of 16 years. It needs too much repair to sell and I doubt very seriously it would even sell for what we owe on it. Both vehicles are 17 years old and one is not running. We often can’t afford our medication so I do without mine (my husband doesn’t know) so he can have his. I recently found out that when my husband dies, i will receive NO spousal benefits. (Another story). So, here I am, with no money, a dismal future and I am scared. When the time comes, I figure my son and I will be living in our truck. If we are lucky. I know in my heart and soul that I need to lean on Christ as we owe Him our unwavering trust. I remind myself everyday of Matthew 6:26. God is still first in my life and I know Satan wants us to stress. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried and scared. Since I’ve started working, I often work on Sundays so our church attendance has went down significantly. No one from our church has reached out. (That really hurt). Awhile back I was off and we attended a few times, but couldn’t help but notice the cold shoulders we received. Even the Pastor didn’t speak to us. Idk what happened. My husband has no family and I’m estranged from mine. (My father is a drug addict and I am not the golden child in my mothers eyes. She kicked me out when I was 15) I had a best friend for over 40 years, but she has a new husband and he is controlling (my best friend is wealthy…) and I think He doesn’t want her to help me, so she doesn’t. No matter, I wasn’t expecting her too. I just miss the person she was. I just need prayers….a lot of them. Please.
