Our prayers for a financial opportunity that would have alleviated our situation were not answered in the way we had hoped. God has another idea for us. We don’t know what it is, as the situation has actually worsened - my husband’s hours were cut in half and his rate of pay dropped. Please pray that we have the ability to withstand what God has in mind for us. Situation is rather desperate. God bless you all.
 
idk i think i might pray that i be able to embrace God’s plans, not endure them! i do pray that you may endure your struggles as you seek to fulfil God’s plan, though.
 
Poor choice of words on my part - embracing is really what I meant - although it will take endurance. I had hoped the tone of the message conveyed that. Sorry and thanks for the prayers in spite of my faux pas.
 
I think that I can understand what you are going through because my own parents have struggled and continue to struggle to make ends meet financially. I will be praying for you, and asking God not only to carry you through this, but also that you might not loose hope in the process.
 
I will pray for the grace of perseverance for both you and your husband. Place your worries with Jesus and trust in Him to see you through these hard times. We are all tested and strengthened in the fire.

I will ask His Mother to place you both into the Garden of Her Immaculate Heart for guidance and protection. She will intercede for you with Her son, taking all those prayers to Him, purified and cleansed. Now, what Son can say no to His Mother?

Stay strong in your faith and pray with a contrite heart.
 
i understand, sjegts. you know, i was homeless (literally, sleeping wherever i could) for years. i worked my tail off and never seemed to reach that point where i could be self-sustaining. sure alot of it was the fault of addiction and rebellion, but i certainly tried. anyways, i was finally able to start keeping the finances up to the level where i could actually pay rent and bill, as well as bus fare to work. i still struggle; idk how i will pay my electric bill this month. And honestly, i really have no idea why things are any different now- i have done little different in the past five years. I don’t believe God was testing my faith or anything like that; he doesn’t work like that. All I know is he has his own reasons for allowing suffering, and there is nothing i could ever do to understand that, short of going to heaven and asking (which i plan to do!), but now things are better, and i still praise and thank God for what I DO have. I really hope you stay strong and that God sees fit to bless you financially and spiritually, for his glory.
 
Praying for our Blessed Mother’s intercession.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Praying for you and your family during this challenging time.

May you have clear thoughts, His strength and divine guidance from Our Lord God Almighty to walk the Path He has set for you and your family. Lord, please give this woman and her husband Your Peace that You will not abandon them and their family in their time of need. St. Mary, intercede on their behalf and give them comfort. Holy Spirit, Bless their marriage and family so they may all have the strength of faith and Trust in the Lord. I pray this challenge will make your marriage stronger and give you both a deeper love, understanding and respect for each other.

God Bless you,
Protect you,
and always keep you and your family Safe.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
 
Your replies are so deeply appreciated and inspiring. I called this God’s other idea because I know he has a different plan for us. We just don’t know what it is, but that ultimately it is for our good. Are we frightened? Heavens, yes! But we are resolved to trust God and His “other ideas” and remain faithful. I might miss the malls, but I sure don’t want to miss an opportunity at heaven! I am keeping all of you in my prayers for whatever your needs may be. My heartfelt thanks for including us in your prayers. Sandra
 
Heavenly Father, please comfort Sandra and her family, that they might find comfort in Your perfect Will. Have mercy on them as You lead them into Your call. And bless them with a touch only possible from the Divine.

Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?Father care for us all as you have promised!

Amen! :harp:
