Please Pray For A Better Living Situation For My Little Family

[Determinedmom]

I can't help being troubled and worried because I'm stuck between where I'm living and where I want to live.

I hate my current apartment and have been wanting to move for years but I can't afford the lump sum security deposit on another place yet.

My landlord lives next door to me and never fixes anything but wants to raise my rent. The last time I prayed over this situation, another prayer request site posted my unusual first name and my landlord figured out that it was me and got insulted and almost threw me out on the street.

Things now are tense and I basically walk on eggshells and sneak in and out of my apartment so that I have minimal contact with my landlord.

Sneaking around like this is mentally wearing me out. My lease is almost up but I don't have anywhere else to go yet.

I'm trying to stay positive because my daughter and dog pick up on my moods and I don't want them to give up hope.

I work and make an income but it just covers my current rent, bills etc. so I'm not getting ahead enough to save money to move out.

I sleep 5 hours a night, so I don't have the time or strength to handle a second job. When would I sleep?

Yesterday my daughter and I walked her classmate home and we saw her apartment building, which I have liked for years. They just remodeled the park and jogging path behind it and it's full of families walking their dogs and  looking happy. I called the management and it would cost $1,700 for the security deposit to move in. That's not terrible, but it's a lot when you don't have it.

I've resolved to do my very best to come up with that deposit, but it's going to be hard. I also have to contend with my current hostile landlord and his wife.

Please pray with me that I can scrape together the deposit that I need to move, before the situation with my current landlord implodes.

I'm sure his wife wants me and my kid out so that she can tear down out apartment to expand their living space next door.

I can't afford to lose this place yet, because I haven't secured a new place yet. And I'm having a hard time securing a new place since it takes most of my pay to pay for this place.

I feel exhausted but I'm trying not to give up.

I actually believe that God might be using this unbearable landlord situation to motivate me to work harder, but so far all I see is God closing one door.

I don't see yet that He has opened another.
