Please pray for my 33 yr old son and his 29 or 30 yr old girlfriend to change their ways. My son's girlfriend called me one day to ask to borrow money. It was a little over $450. She said she would pay me back the following week. She never did. A few months later he called to ask me to borrow money. I went to a payday loan place and borrowed $400 for him thinking since he knew I borrowed the money from the payday loan company he would definitely pay me back. He never paid me back. The girlfriend says she was asking for my son. That wasn't told to me at the time of our conversation. I trusted her. I started making payments to the payday loan company. They tried to "take" all of the money out of my checking account at one time which caused me overdrafts and excessive fees because I did not have that amount of money in my checking account. Please pray for my son Gary and his girlfriend Jakeia to stop playing the blame game with each other and take responsibility pay me back the money I loaned them each. We live in different states and we are 8,000+ miles apart and once again I don't feel like going to visit them and the kids all because of this situation. The last time I visited them was in 2012.

Please pray for me to bring back the normalcy in my life. I really want to see my grandkids but I just can't bring myself to deal with their parents. I feel like a fool because I got taken twice all because I helped them and was lead to believe they would pay me back. I trusted them. It doesn't sit well with me now. After all I've done for them and they treat me like this. She blames him and he blames her and then nothing gets accomplished. This has ruined our relationship. The only reason why I am asking for them to pay up now is because they both work and I lost my job back in 2009 when the company I worked for downsized. I am 56 years old and had to move back home with my senior parents. At times I was totally dependent on them. I have been temping (temporary job assignments) ever since I was laid off. I can't save anything. Sometimes my temp assignment lasts a week, a month, a couple of months and I pay catch up on paying the little bit of bills I do have and then when I'm not working I could be out of work up to 5 months in a row.

Please pray for my son and his girlfriend to open their hearts, to soften their hearts, and do the right thing and pay me back the money they owe me. It has taken a toll on me because it is all I think about now. Please pray for me to close this chapter so that I can move on. Please pray for me to forget about it because I want to move on. Please pray for me to stop feeling so used and hurt and realize that there aren't nice people in the world even if they are family. I think that is one of the reasons why I am depressed. The other reason why I am depressed is because my pastor, Rev Sky St John passed away Dec 19, 2013 and I miss him dearly. His death brought back those feelings of hurt and the unfinished business in my life right now. Please pray for me because I want to move on.

I pray the lord will give you the wisdom and strength to deal with your situation . I am afraid the old saying is true ..."we can chose our friends , but we cant chose our families ". I am so sorry your son and daughter- in law have behaved so badly toward you . However that need not affect your relationship with them and your grandchildren .

Dear Father in heaven we ask that you give this dear mother the wisdom and sound judgement needed in her interactions with her son and his family . Give her a spirit of discernment that will enable her to continue in her relationship with her son and his family, but that will also enable her protection from wilful manipulation .

Father as Christians we are called to meek , not weak. Help us Lord to act in accordance with this principle . In Jesus name we ask amen .

 we are called to be meek , not weak.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
