Hello, friends. My husband and I are in a situation that I realize is not unusual in today’s economy. Still, for someone like us who had to wait till well into middle age (some would even say past middle age) to have a home and have only had it 3-1/2 years, and now to have the threat of having it ripped from us, I can’t even describe how much it hurts. My husband had almost no work hours at the beginning of this year. Unbeknownst to me, we fell way behind on our mortgage. I went out two months ago to walk my dog and found a “Notice of Default” taped to the side of our relatively modest but loved home. Needless to say, I was stunned. We have done everything the bank has asked in our quest to obtain a loan modification, sent all the paperwork they requested TWICE, are in touch with them every week, yet we continue to be threatened. Yesterday the trustee sent via Certified Mail a notice that the 90-day foreclosure process has begin. I don’t know what else we can do to convince these people that we desperately want/need to work with them to resolve this. I want to have faith that it will end well, but right now it feels like God is not intervening and that my cries for help mean little to Him. I know there are many prayer warriors on this site, so I thank you in advance for your intervention. Teri
 
Praying for you. Don’t lose faith in God. Our God is a God of the impossible. He made a way through the sea, he will surely make a way for you. Look back into your life and praise Him for the countless times he’s come to your aid. This will help you stay focused on him. I’ve posted some verse. I’m sure they will strengthen you. God Bless.

“Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.”
—Isaiah 12:2

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
—Jeremiah 17:5-8

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.
—Psalm 118:6-9

In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
To you they cried and were rescued;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
—Psalm 22:4-5

Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent…
“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
—Psalm 91:9,10,14-16

And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
—Psalm 9:10

But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.
—2 Timothy 1:12

Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
—2 Corinthians 1:9

"For me prayer is a surge of the heart, it is a simple look towards Heaven,
it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy."

    Our
    Father
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
**Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven. **
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
- Jesus
"The Lord’s Prayer "

is truly the summary of the whole gospel." “Since the Lord…after handing over the practice of prayer, said elsewhere, ‘Ask and you will receive,’ and since everyone has petitions which are peculiar to his circumstances, the regular and appropriate prayer **(The Lord’s Prayer) **is said first, as the foundation of further desires.”

I know how painful this can be Terilamb. We lost our home a few years ago. I feel for you

Jesus in Your concern for Your Mother, even in your torment on the Cross, You ensured that she had a home with John Your faithful disciple.
May we ask You to provide for terilamb and her husband.
Help them to know how to best deal with the difficult realities they face, and to obtain work to support their needs.
Jesus we trust in You

Amen.
