Humble Prayer Partner
Our pastor gave a message this morning on being disconnected—to God, your spiritual life, others, etc—and that prayer is the thread we have to bond these thing back together. That message hit me hard. It was truly speaking directly to me... My life feels like it is in a shambles: my spouse has been unemployed almost year, and seems to have given up on looking for or finding a job; our finances are similarly affected in a very negative and challenging way; our son is getting his drivers license and we found out our auto insurance may go up about $8K a year; we had a pipe burst during the storms in Feb and our landlord has not fixed it yet, so we are short a bathroom and my son’s room is full of plumbing supplies; our cat is sick; I am employed but have been working from home for a year and feel isolated; I also feel like all the burdens and responsibility of our family are on me because my spouse has kind of given up. I don’t have the time or strength and the more I get behind on things, the worse I feel and the less motivatation I have. My prayer and scripture reading and overall spiritual life is taking a lot of the brunt. I barely have time to eat and sleep, so time with God is going by the wayside—knowing this is the wrong approach and fixing it are not the same. Please please please... I covet your prayers for my family and myself. Thank you and may the Lord bless you.
