    Jesus, hear my prayers because I am weak. As a single parent things are hard on me both of my sons are autistic and my hours to work are limited because I’m now homeschooling them. I’m constantly struggling to provide the basic necessities for them I’m so ashamed. I suffered an heart attack and I’m battling lupus I’m overwhelmed. Father God hear my prayers. I constantly struggle to pay my bills and struggle to provide groceries. BUT I KEEP FAITH. Even though I want to give up. Jesus please take the fear from my heart. Father God it is you that gives me the strength to keep going. I praise you Father even as I fear homelessness please continue to give me strength.

      In Jesus name I pray that the Lord will give you strength and provide you with bountiful means to take Care of this family. LORD show her you are with her during this time so she knows she's not alone. In Jesus name I pray for these things for you.
      I can't imagine what your going through! But I do know worry and stress and heartache and sometimes the lack of faith. I am in the same situation right now. I can tell you I find my faith restored and my ability to keep pushing through everything by watching Steven and other positive influences that preach the Lord's word. I also listen to Christian music all the time. I hope to have a support system that helps you but if not please let me know. I will always be here to pray with you. I can just feel your pain and it's heartbreaking. Please hang in their and keep fighting God has a plan during this storm ❤

I’m preparing a few things then I’m saying goodbye to that chapter of my life. Life is too short to have a job that affects your mental health. I pray that you find your spark again & have the courage to quit. You deserve better 🙏
