Disciple of Prayer
Hi my prayer warriors, it's been a while I know. I am working up to ten hour or more days and have been under so much pressure in every area of my life that I am too wiped out to pray never mind ask for prayer. This is part of satans plan of defeat for my life and I so want victory over his evil scheme. I have fallen into a very deep depression and have asked God to take this cup of suffering from me. I am too tired to cope with anything anymore. My husband has not yet been given the sales & marketing job that he was promised a month ago, has not received an increase or any benefits from the company including no medical cover or school fees or a vehicle. My husband works very long and hard days and gets treated like his bosses personal servant. He makes my husband do all his personal driving and errands for him and is supposed to be one of his best friends. He feels that since he "saved" my husband and daughter from unemployment that he can treat them as he pleases without even following the legal employment system. He is well aware that without these two jobs our family would be in an even worse situation than we are and he uses this to take advantage for his own benefit. My husband does his job most of the time and gets no commission or personal credit for the job well done. Because my husband has such a good heart he does everything that is asked of him and more. Our marriage is under serious threat due to chronic financial and emotional pressure. I look at my husband and all I can see is a man of defeat. I either feel anger towards him or intense compassion. Bearing in mind this was once a successful businessman who inherited his fathers family business. When ever anything went wrong he would make a plan somehow, someway and now all he does is shrug his shoulders and say "what can I do." or he tells me "I'll sort it (the problem) out" and does not have either the means or the intention to do so. I am urging my husband for us to move to neighboring South Africa or to apply to go to Canada where my sister is as this takes a few years to be approved and he wont even try to do the paper work. He tells me things will be the same in the other countries and it would be hard to live in those countries however it's hard to live in ours and there are no unemployment or medical benefits at all.. I cant help but feel there is someone out there who is desperately needing someone like my husband to work for them and that he's wasting his time where he is not doing very much of what he loves which is managerial/sales . Our poor son is having to find his way home every day from school as we work very far making it impossible for us to do this ourselves and there are no lift/bus services here in Zimbabwe so we have to ask different people every day which stresses our son as he never knows who's taking him home. People here do not want to help others Christian or not. I miss my boy, and feel so sad he has to struggle this way and spend so much time alone. Our company building is not sold yet. Our bills are building up sky high on our home, my son needs new clothing desperately as he has outgrown most of his. To top this I have been really ill from a virus that attacked my liver making me extremely sick with raging fevers and chills. All my joints and bones were aching so badly that I needed strong pain killers to ease the pain. Most days I live in an intermediate state of pain from back and various other surgeries. Lastly I work in the animal shelter where we are looking after up for two hundred cats and dogs a day, medicating , feeding, and rehabilitating them. It is my job to make sure we get enough money in to cover the expenses and still pay wages for twenty four people. I really struggle with the fact that we have financial difficulties at home and then at work too! I do love working with the animals though it is extremely emotionally saddening what we have to deal with every day. Please pray for victory of defeat in all these areas of our lives. I truly love my husband of 18 years + he is very precious to me I need prayers to submit, respect and obey him as the head of our home. Thank you for your prayers and support. God bless your day!
