Hi Chanda in regards to your Prayer Request/question - the pain will get easier - so long you put your whole Trust in God. I am a single parent - always have been - I suffered domestic violence via my sons father on a small scale when my son was 6 months old - we ended up living with my mother for a short time, but then went into a Bed and Breadfast hotel paid for by welfare and half by me as I was also working. I got a flat when my son was one and half or two years old. Cant exactly remember. I Couldnt live with my mother and her partner anymore - too much stress. I worked full time and still do - my son is now 25 years old. Though I am having issues with him which in some ways - would you believe - it is partly because i was never around because i was trying to keep a roof over our heads - I feel he hates me for it. There are other problems with him - I know he feels like I dont love him, but he doesnt understand what it is like being a parent, the sacrifices made. Like you I prayed for a partner, but they came and went - until God made it clear to me I wasnt ready - he wanted me to rely on him and this is what I did, I drifted in and out with God, but he was patient - I could go on for ages how I suffered emotionally and financially - Newspapers were my carpets/floor coverings for years - walking to work, to school with my son, cold breakfast. His father - I wanted nothing to do with. I didnt want him to know where we were, so it was a case of standing straight - dusting myself off and saying each morning - God lets go. I finally prayed to God one day to only make me visible to the man he chooses to be my husband - hasnt happened yet and I am 50 now, but its ok. I am more interested in just getting closer to God, praying to him for my son - so we can be reconciled as mother and son. Chanda you're going to be fine. My Dear Father in Heaven, Mighty Saviour - our Living God, please hear and see the pain within the heart of Chanda, sometimes Lord things happen in life which we cannot understand, you see the future, we only see the present. Your Words say Lord that you Know the Thoughts you think towards us, Thoughts of peace and not evil - to give us a Future and a Hope. Father on behalf of Chanda, I pray Lord you embrace her and her child - show her your mighty mighty Power, give her Peace, Understanding, Wisdom, Knowledge and faith to rely on you totally. Chanda call on God, he tells us he hears those that are bowed down and he also clearly says to ask him, search for him, and he will hear you, he will be found. He tells us to call on him and he will answer and show us Great and Mighty things we have not known. Father I pray the Blood of Christ Jesus over Chanda and her child and I know Lord you are already working out a great plan for her in the Name of Jesus. Amen xxx
