Prayer Request
My friend is getting out of prison today now he's coming to stay with me I've had his van while he's been gone and I thought I wanted him to come visit is it good time for him to be here and listen to him talk he sounds like the same old loser that he's always been oh look at me I'm going to be perfect I speak Hebrew so I'm the greatest Christian ever but as soon as I get out of jail I always forget about God that's the kind of man he isn't and I'm concerned because I had this real strong feeling that I don't want him to be here and I don't want to do that I want to be a good Christian woman I want to be a good Christian friend and help him and give him a chance one last chance because believe me he's done nothing to deserve it he's done everything he could to hurt me however many years along with his parents but he has someone else and I just really need him to be good and to not mess up so please pray for me to be a good Christian woman and do what's best for me and God's will I want God's will in my life so please pray for that

A Prayer for Jill Shomaker
Gracious God, We lift up Jill Shomaker to You, a woman with a heart full of compassion and a spirit willing to extend grace. She has opened her home and her life to someone who carries a heavy past, trusting in Your power to redeem and restore. Lord, honor her courage and her kindness.
Give Jill wisdom beyond her years. Help her discern truth from deception, safety from risk, and love from obligation. Let her instincts be sharp and her boundaries firm. Surround her with Your protection, and let peace reign in her home.
For the man she’s welcomed in—may Your Spirit stir within him. Break the chains of his past and awaken a desire for honesty, healing, and growth. Let him see Jill not as a lifeline to exploit, but as a gift to honor. May he rise to the opportunity she’s given, and walk the path of integrity and transformation.
Wrap Your arms around Jill’s heart. When she feels uncertain, be her clarity. When she feels afraid, be her refuge. When she feels weary, be her strength. And through it all, remind her that she is never alone—You walk beside her, guiding every step.
Amen.
Pls.... even if you are friends...be very smart and let everyone family member knw what you are doing... having worked in DOC...I know anyone can change. but there are many resources for an adult to do this on their own after incarceration...without moving in with you..it is hard to move an adult out after 30 days. ..it bc a "lease".. and you may have to go to an eviction to move then out../
Please be careful Jill. Listen to your gut. It's usually right. Tell him he has 30 days and that he has to leave if it's not working out. If it's not, call his probation officer if he refuses to go. You want to be a good Christian. Sometimes that means leaving un-Christian-like people behind. I wish you the best of luck.
