My Family
A family torn apart; 3 souls in danger


In the midst of a difficult divorce, my father is unrepentant of many serious sins, my mother is sick, scared and depressed, and my sister had to drop out of college and support herself.

My father has always presented himself as a pious Christian, but he is consumed with himself and mired in sin. He has *sought out* affairs several times in recent years, deprived my mom of medical treatment, and even has done some illegal things.

My mom, a very self-sacrificial and pious woman, filed for divorce last summer. She suffers from chronic illness and had not held a job for 25 years. She recently got one, but it pays little and the long hours are causing her health to deteriorate more. My father is doing everything in his power to prevent her from getting any of "his" money, so she is forced to live on credit & has no home (lives with me).

The situation forced my 19-year-old sister to drop out of college. She wants to go back but has no idea how she'll afford it. She's far from any family, emotionally fragile and her faith is badly shaken, so we worry about her much.

Prayers are desperately needed for my father's salvation, my mother's health, my sister's future, and for justice to triumph.

Dear God,
Please be there for this family so torn apart by pain. Give them the peace that passes all understanding and in doing so grant them the knowledge they need to better their lives. Allow the father in this situation to realize his mistakes and correct them while he can still make a difference in his family's lives. Guide the sister to the proper people who can help her go back to school with the assistance she needs. And God do not forget the asker of these prayers. She is willing to give of herself to ask for assistance for her loved ones. Bless them all and be there for them as you have been there for me. In Jesus Name I pray.

My favorite verse combinations: Isaiah 40:31 "For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up wings like an eagle, they shall run and net get weary they shall walk and not faint"; & Psalms 27:14 "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."

Dear Lord,
This family sounds a lot like some of the struggles my own family is going through. Please protect them. I pray for the dad, that you would convict his heart and that there would be reconciliation. Please heal her sick mom and also give her wisdom in dealing with the whole situation. I pray for protection for the sister and that you would provide for them all financially. Help them to find comfort in Your Word. Draw them to You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
