Hi again, it’s been awhile since I wrote. That’s because I am not doing well keeping things together. I just cry and cry. We had the funeral for my brother-in-law and I cried to everyone I spoke to. My husband started a new job which keeps him away from the house from 7:30-5:30 every day. You may think it’s great to have found work but it’s half the pay. And he was never away from me all day in our business; he could drop up anytime, which he did several times a day. This is a great loss of him to my everyday life. He also has to be away a couple nights a month. My son has to find another job and my other son is scared of the changes of new ownership.

I have lost all joy as much as I ask the Lord to fill me up, I just fill up with sad emotions.

My relationship with my husband is not good; we are just arguing and disagreeing. He is not a compassionate person so tears make him angry.

I have no desire to make Christmas dinner nor the energy to do it.

We had six offers on the sale of our garage and they all fell through.

The people we borrowed $200,000 from are coming tomorrow evening to ask for it back but we don’t have it, due to the garage not selling and the high cost of lawyers' fees which they take first in a sale.

I am just asking for the blessing of getting through the Christmas season without crying all the time. And the strength to get by moment to moment. I am a broken vessel. I am asking for safe travel as my husband is driving home after his stay of two nights tomorrow and it’s a 2 1/2 hour drive. When he left we argued and so haven’t spoken during this time only to inform me the people are coming for their money. He also missed the grandchild’s Christmas concert, something he has never missed ever. It was very hard for me to be there without him.

Please pray for our family, me especially as I am taking things the hardest, as the most changes will happen to me. I don’t have the support from my family as they are angry because I am upset and not their normal mother. They think I should be just fine with everything. So they don’t talk about it and never once ask me how I am doing. I feel like they don’t care about me. But I know they are hurting for the dad and that they can’t be angry at him so it’s me they take it on.

I asked for a miracle but don’t see it coming. I asked you to pray for whatever the Lord places on your heart, in Jesus’s precious name, Amen.

We hear the deep sorrow and exhaustion in your words, and our hearts ache with you. The weight of grief, financial strain, and relational tension is heavy, and it is clear you are carrying far more than any one person should bear alone. Yet even in this, we know the Lord sees your tears and collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). You are not forgotten, nor are you abandoned—though it may feel that way in this moment.

First, we must address the foundation of your plea. You have rightly come before the Lord in the name of Jesus, and this is the only way we may approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). There is no other name by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father. If you have never surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now—confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and receive the gift of eternal life (Romans 10:9-10). Even if you have already done so, we encourage you to reaffirm your trust in Him, for He is the anchor for your soul in this storm (Hebrews 6:19).

Your grief over your brother-in-law’s passing is valid and understandable. The Bible tells us there is "a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:4). You are in a season of mourning, and it is right to grieve deeply. Yet we also know that joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5), and we pray that the Lord would begin to restore your heart even now. Your husband’s absence—both physically and emotionally—adds to this burden, and we grieve with you over the strain in your marriage. The enemy seeks to divide what God has joined together (Matthew 19:6), and we must stand against his schemes. We rebuke the spirit of discord and strife in your home and pray for a renewed tenderness between you and your husband. May he soften his heart to your pain, and may the Lord grant you both wisdom to navigate this season with patience and grace.

The financial pressure you face is overwhelming, and the impending visit from those you owe feels like a looming storm. We declare that God is your Provider (Philippians 4:19), and we pray for a breakthrough in the sale of your garage. May the Lord open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide a buyer who will honor your needs. We also pray for wisdom in managing the legal fees and for favor with those you owe. If there is a way to negotiate or extend the repayment, we ask the Lord to make it clear. Above all, we pray for peace to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), so that fear does not consume you.

Your children’s lack of understanding is another layer of pain. It is difficult when those closest to us cannot—or will not—see our struggles. Yet we know that even when family fails, the Lord remains faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). We pray that your sons would grow in compassion and that the Lord would soften their hearts toward you. May they come to recognize the depth of your love for them, even in your brokenness. We also pray for your husband’s safe travel home. May the Lord protect him on the road and prepare both of your hearts for reconciliation.

The thought of Christmas without joy is heartbreaking, but we pray that the Lord would meet you in the midst of your exhaustion. Even if you cannot muster the strength to prepare a feast, may He provide small moments of peace—a warm cup of tea, a quiet moment of prayer, or a gentle reminder of His presence. We pray that He would restore your desire to celebrate, even in a simple way, and that He would fill your home with His peace.

We lift you up now in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister in Christ. Lord, You see her tears, her exhaustion, and her sorrow. You know the burdens she carries—grief, financial strain, marital tension, and the weight of feeling unseen by those she loves. We ask that You would draw near to her, for You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Father, we pray for her marriage. Soften her husband’s heart and help him to see her pain. Restore tenderness and communication between them. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of division and ask that You would knit their hearts back together in love and unity. Help them to lean on You and on one another, rather than turning away in frustration.

We pray for financial provision, Lord. You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and nothing is too hard for You. Open doors for the sale of their garage, and provide a way for them to meet their obligations. Give them wisdom in managing their resources and favor with those they owe. Let them experience Your provision in tangible ways, so that their faith may be strengthened.

Father, we ask that You would restore joy to her heart. Even in this season of mourning, let her taste the goodness of Your presence. Help her to find small moments of peace and to trust that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Give her the strength to take each day moment by moment, knowing that You are her strength.

We pray for her children, Lord. Soften their hearts toward their mother and help them to see her pain. Give them compassion and understanding, and draw them closer to You and to one another. May this family be united in love, even in the midst of their struggles.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would protect her husband on his journey home. Keep him safe on the road and prepare both of their hearts for reconciliation. May they find a way to communicate with love and patience, and may their home be filled with Your peace.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

Dear sister, you are not alone. The Lord is with you, and we stand with you in prayer. This season is hard, but it will not last forever. Cling to Him, even when it feels like you cannot go on. He is your strength, your refuge, and your hope. May He fill you with His peace and carry you through each moment.
