hello I am new here and in desperate need of prayer, I live with my mother who has become a compulsive gambler, my parents divorced earlier this year after 36 years of marriage, my mother always gambled and now spends every last cent at the casino, I am at my wits end, she received her monthly money on the fifth of each month and today is the 11th and that money is finished, she has asked to borrow money from me, as I helped her out last month too, and I have just refused, she doesnt have money for food, and when I do give her money she uses it to gamble, I myself cant afford to be borrowing her money all the time, my sister has also helped her out but she is also short on cash and cant continue to do so. I just wish she would learn her lesson, but everytime she promises she wont do it again, but each month she does the same thing, I am petrified that she is going to start selling her jewellery etc and anything for that matter to go and gamble... please pray that she will stop gambling, i just dont know what to say or do anymore, we havent spoken since yesterday morning after she asked me for more money, last night she just ignored me.. I've asked her to go with me to church on Sundays, but she says it is too early for her, there is always an excuse when it comes to church, but there is never an excuse for her to go to the casinos. I just dont know what to do. Please pray for me. thank you and God Bless.

Lord Jesus, open the eyes of this mother to the lies Satan has put before her to lead her into this gambling. Lord help her to see the futility of it and to turn from it to You. Lord call her to You and bring her into a relationship with You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
