[@ChildofGod98765]

Please pray for me. I’m facing homelessness with my two small children. Every month is a struggle. My life living with lupus has it’s ups and downs. I’m in a lot of pain swollen joints, fevers out of nowhere and fatigue are just a few, because of my condition I declined the vaccine, and was fired over my decision. Since than I’ve been struggling to provide for myself and my two autistic children. My husband passed away three years ago, so I’m all alone. I have no family nor friends. Both of my sons are non verbal so as a mommy things can be a little more difficult. We are facing homelessness we have nowhere to go. I’m so embarrassed because of my situation. I have no family nor friends to help me, but I have nothing but Faith that God will provide. Keep Faith in Him. Please pray for us durning this time. Thank you.

[@zackdexter8565]

My prayers are going forth in the name of Jesus for you and your family. You are not alone...God loves you and he is going to carry you through this difficult time in your life . He is working now on your behalf right now ...doors will open that was shut in your face. God has not forgotten you...he will give you real friends and everything you need. Keep pressing on...... God has got your back. We are all are going through something and just a little act of kindness goes a long way. I will keep you and your family lifted in prayer. Keep me and my family lifted in prayer.

[@fikinaturally_fikiswa2925]

It shall be well with you, I stand believing and declaring in agreement with you all the things you are declaring into your life and believing God for. I pray God releases you from spirit of fear and condemnation/embarrassment and heal your body and feel you with a spirit of bulldozing your way through challenges and hardship to find your way through refusing to be defeated for God did say He has prepared a table for in the presence of your enemies and your cup is overflowing - surely then it is time for God to lead you and show you the paths you should and decisions you should make to get to your table and sit and enjoy what God has allotted to you - for God is not a lier and it is done

Yes I love giving men women of all ages comments because they deserve it just in case they haven't heard it in while it makes a big difference in life on them and me most for all God when you start manifesting and praying it shows it rewards I'm a true believer in that I'm also living proof I was running around looking like tales from the crypt maybe not that bad but I sure felt like it I got tied of it plus I had a daughter to take care of and I knew I definitely couldn't live with myself if something have happen to her knowing I could've protect her if I was sain so I turned my life around and chose life it's been 37 years strong now never look back only to say thank God and cry sometimes because I've been threw he'll and back I'm not saying everyday was peaches and cream I will always struggle but God keeps me on the right path I'm just so blessed to say I have now 😇🙏 and it has a lot to do with God I try to treat people good while I'm on this earth but I notice you can't please everybody 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's what I've learned with a clear mind and eyes wide open now and that's fine lease I know deep down inside I tried and plus I don't be quick to judge everyone's going threw something sometimes we have to let them be and let them find there own way God's Plan 😇🙏💘
