thank you all for your prayers. My Daddy is with my Mommy now. Please keep praying for me and my brother. This is THE MOST difficult time for us. I'm feeling adrift right now.
Prayers for you and your brother, Joy.
please pray for my Daddy. He fell in my homw in February,from there he went to a local hospital(luckily,he didn't break anything). But while in the hospital, someone stole a religious medallion piece that my mom(now deceased) had gotten him 50 years ago. Now, he's in the hospital,with:pneumonia, COPD,a gallbladder infection(that's being drained)There maybe BOTH water and blood in his left lower lung. I work fulltime,and I run to the hospital,then come home exhausted, and mentally drained. I live with my n'er do well brother who contribues NO MOney for bills/food/utilities./cable,/phone. ALL of the pressure is ON MY SHOULDERs!! PLease have my dad&Me in your prayers!!Thank you for your kindness & empathy/,
The first thing I noticed was your name “Joy.” your parents gave you that name because when you were born, it was a joyous day for both of them.
I pray with every ounce of my being that our Lord and Savior hears your plea.
Don't lose faith, and don't be ashamed to get on your knees to talk to Him.
He loves you with all his heart.
Life is hard, but you sought others to pray on your behalf, so now God will hear many “JOYously” ask that he give you some desperately needed relief.
Love your sister in Christ. ❤️
I say a big “Amen” to Chris’ prayers. I also that the Lord will grant you all grace to forgive your brother and pray for his transformation 🙏🏾. It will be incredibly hard. But there is nothing the Lord Jesus cannot do!
thank you Chris...things have gotten better!!
Dear Jesus, I come to you for Joy's Dad, he has fallen as you did while carrying your cross, and now he lays in a hospital bed, broken and afflicted most holy Jesus, may your pure and Healthy blood circulate in his ailing organism, and may your pur and Healthy body transform his weak body and may a healthy and vigorous life throb within him, if it is truly your Holy Will. I believe I adore, I hope and I love you. I beg mercy and complete healing in you name Jesus. Thankyou praise you and all glory and Honour to our Almighty, immortal Father. Jesus I trust in you.🙏🙏🙏❤

I pray for you and for your husband that the mighty hand of God will heal him from this horrible addiction and that you have your husband back
Dear Richelle I was in the very same position as you 27years ago in fact I was so tired, I had no energy to even pray, if you have children you must take action as it will affect your children. I thought if I prayed long enough and hard enough God would heal my husband. The FACT is if he doesnt want to change nothing will make him as God gives us all free will. I joined a support group called Al-anon which is for relatives and friends of alcoholics. I made some wonderful friends and these were people I could identify with.I did that for 8years which helped me get my confidence back and also helped me identify all the things I was doing that were not helping the situation. You must learn tough love. Alcoholism is a disease just like cancer and it is important to remember that. These people are usually very sensitive and begin drinking to drown out past hurts and cover up insecurities. My husband went to AA twice, once for 6mths and once for 9 months. When Christmas or birthdays came around that was the end of it. You feel like your walking on egg shells. He was a binge drinker so every 3 weeks there was a major drama. He had the most viscous tongue and would call me every filthy name he could, I learnt very early not to respond and to stay calm. I would get my 3 children into my car to escape the terrorising he would do. I thought God wanted me to keep turning the other cheek. I was very wrong. I had my husband prayed over by a priest and turned myself inside out. We were married for 14 years but lived in seperate houses for 8 of those years. We were also apart for months at a time. When I turned 40, I had developed a choking reaction to stress and anxiety and have complex PTSD from the years of continual abuse. This is when I was numb of all feeling and took my 3 children and moved 4hrs away so he couldn't just turn up all hrs of the day or night banging on windows and doors to be let in. A child growing up in this environment has a 90% chance of going down the same path. When I realised this I knew as the responsible parent my children had to be my priority. The first night we were away I remember my 14yr old son said Mum I can finally sleep with my window open. All my children have been terribly affected and myself as well. I have cried rivers of tears because I should have had the courage to leave years before I did. By staying I caused real harm to my children. We all have mental health issues. I will pray for you. Jesus does not expect us to stay in dangerous relationships with domestic violence. The husband was made in God's image to be the protector, the provider, the example for his family to follow. We as the wife are not supposed to carry the responsibilities and all the burdens of the family. Godbless you.🙏❤💞

God and Alcoholics Anonymous saved me. I pray for your husband and that God will open the path to A for him.
Father in the name of JESUS please do what you think is best.
Alcoholism is a horrible addiction. I pray your husband finds the strength through Christ our Lord to quit.
I know what you're going through. My prayers are with you!!
God loves you.
be strong in your faith. the Lord will see through your pain and help your husband to overcome his drinking issues
I pray your husband will make good choices. You should look to Ala-non for support. It really is wonderful. I pray for peace for you as well. Amen
Amen!
