Father You know the situation this family is in and I ask You to step in and provide for them in unexpected ways. Show this mother what to do to raise her children in Your way and send them a mentor to teach this couple how to get out of debt and use their funds to their greatest effect for the Kingdom as well as meeting all their needs and many of their wants. Thank You Lord. Draw them back into fellowship with the body. Holy Spirit I release You over this family for the Glory of God. Thank You Jesus! AMEN!

You are not under a curse! God is shaking you up to bring You back into His family. I did not go to church for 20 years! Talk about a mess! Yes, we had good times. But we had a lot of bad times, too. When the bad times hit, we hit- HARD! Recently, like you, I began to see my daughter- age 12 at the time- begin to imitate the behaviors of those around us. He school nurse called me and invited me to her office for a sit-down. Some of my daughter's friends were cutting themselves out of desperation and emotional pain. My daughter began internalizing her friends' problems. That was my wake-up call. Kristen became involved in an AWANA program at a local church.
We began to participate in a food-purchasing program through another church. The program is called Angel Food Ministries. You do not have to qualify or fill out anything and you do not have to do any community service. Their website is Angel Food Ministries dot com. Click on the "Host Site" link to see if one is near you. The cost is $25 and you receive a food package worth $50 to $75. It is not salvage food or outdated food or factory seconds.
Through Angel Food, we started to get curious about the Lord and the people who volunteered at the church were wonderful. The pastor invited us to church and after 3 months we took him up on his offer.
Church has really changed since I last went! People REALLY do care and the fellowship is awesome. We now have more family activities that we can all be involved in. We have friends through church whom we can call when things aren't going so good. I find myself remembering the sermon long into the week, which is something I never did when I was younger. When you have the Lord working through you, negative people will fall to the waste-side and positive people will gravitate towards you.
You NEED to get back to church. If the church you last attended didn't "feed" you, find one that will. To quote Pastor Todd,"Christians just don't do good outside of church. We need the fellowship and support of other Christians," and he is right. The world's issues are confusing and without the guidance of Godly people, we can be easily influenced.
What you are going through is very normal.

"Do not fret- it only causes harm" (Psalm 37:8)
Psalm 37, Psalm 38, Psalm 44, Psalm 46, Psalm 57. I love Psalms!!

Dear God,
Thank You for sending our sister imbotribe to us to pray for. Thank You for leading my life and being a guiding light. Please draw our sister and her family to You. Please align them with positive people who can lead them to resources so they may help themselves. Please help them to seek You and to seek Your Word in their everyday lives. Please point them to a good church where You are alive. Please send them angels who will lead them to You and who will fellowship with them. Please burden their hearts so that they hunger for Your Word and will seek others who also yearn to hear Your Voice. Please send them someone who will witness to them and set them on the path back to You. Please wrap Your loving arms around them and ease their fears. Please lead them to a pastor who lives Your Word and will bring them the Message of Hope! Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
