I am in desperate need of prayer for guidance and peace from the Lord right now. I have asked prayer for my ex-sister-in-law and ex-brother-in-law and their three children. Now, due to their situation, I am in need of your intercessory prayers once more. They have to be out of their apartment by Thursday of this week. They have talked about living in their van or going to a homeless shelter. A couple months ago, I offered to let them come stay with me and they reacted as though that was the worst of the options they had. Now, they started calling yesterday and asking if the offer is still good. I no longer have peace about having them come stay with me. My relationship with my ex-husband has deteriorated greatly in the past month and, though he really doesn't have much of a relationship with his brother and sister-in-law, I am afraid it will get worse. I am not in a financial position to take on the additional 5 people into my home because, since the divorce, I have to pinch every penny until it screams! I don't want the kids to go to a homeless shelter because I have heard so many horror stories about them. I don't want them to live in their van for fear the children will be taken away and be placed in foster care. I don't know what to do. I have prayed and prayed and prayed over the situation and cannot find peace. They lived with my ex-husband and me for two years before their youngest child was born and through the first 10 months of his life. They were only supposed to be there for a couple weeks. They left owing us over $### which they have never attempted to repay in the past ### years. I am afraid to trust them to help me financially even though my ex-father-in-law is planning to send them money for that sole purpose. It is a horrible dilemma that is keeping me awake at night and destroying the peace and joy I had over the weekend. If it were not for the children, it would not be an issue - I would have no problem telling them they need to figure it out on their own. I need so much prayer right now. I need God to guide me in the way I need to go.
