My dear sisters and brothers in Christ, His peace be upon you all! I am in a serious financial bind right now, having thousands of dollars worth of debt but barely enough to pay for them. I have relied for almost a year now on my sister's generosity, for my house rent and daily expenses but also she has her own family to prioritize. We are in a foreign country, trying to better our lives yet with this financial dilemma, I could be facing time in jail and deportation. I admit I have been irresponsible with my finances in the past yet I sincerely ask the Lord, with your help in prayer, to give me another chance please to recover, pay all my dues and be able to provide again for my parents back home in the Philippines. Add to this that my father has lately been diagnosed with Bell's palsy. Each day is tense-filled one trying to make ends meet and face these challenges.
Dear Lord, please give us the strength to overcome these trials in our lives and to keep myself and my family safe. I ask Your forgiveness for keeping my talents hidden, under the ground, for not being Your light and voice.. for being too scared to share my gifts. I have learned my lesson, and through my art, simple as they are, may Your name be glorified. I only ask for time and the resources to clear all my debts, Lord. I put all my trust in You.
