Hello, I am new and this past month have been very stressful for me.
My father passed away the night we had the black out of 2003. I just barely got through the funeral when a week later, my oldest son (26) was at work and went outside to check the parking lot when he was struck by a drunk driver. There were witnesses who seen what had happened, and the police know who did this, but at the time of questioning did not read this person his rights and so there is no case unless my son sues the city in which it happened. As of now two weeks later, the doctor's are not sure if the damage is permanent. He has brain damage, neck and spine damage and hip damage. Tomorrow my youngest dog who is 5 years old will run out of her seizure medication. I called the vet and since my father has died my brother has the money tied up in a checking account which he said he would write a check for the dog to go to the vet, but the vet won't accept starter checks and will not tell me an amount so I could have him withdraw the money to take her. I do not work, I help my neighbors and my husband does not work due to losing his license. He has a woman friend who comes and goes as she pleases over here even though I tell her she is not welcome here she still comes over to smoke dope with my husband. He is not a Christian, and I am. I feel very lost right now and I don't know what to do but pray. I am sure this is a test of my faith and I failed. I am so depressed right now that I wonder why I am still hanging around. I would not do anything stupid, but I need help. Kat

Father God
I just pray for Kat now in all her trials that you will draw close to her and let her feel your love.
Help her in all things to first honour you and put you first, and we know you will in turn honour her for her wholeheartness towards you.
Kat, make sure you use your christian church and friends for support at this time, they are there to help. We all need to be around people who have the same aim as us - which is to glorify God.
Kat, you say you don't work?, maybe consider getting a part-time job so you have a little 'fund' of money to call on when needed. Ask God about this and whether its the right thing to do.
Encourage your husband into looking for work that he CAN do, and in all things, seek to show him the love of God. Do not let your husband be disrepectful towards you in anyway, stand up for yourself as a person (not in a bad way, but knowing that God loves you and you are a child of his will give you strength).
God honours those who honour him, I will be praying for you, especially in your grief at this time.
God Bless
