Prayer request for housing situation
Hi Everyone,
Hope this is not hard to read. I am dyslexic so I am sorry..if things are not clear.
My family and I are at risk of being homeless as the landlord wants the property back. I have a mum, dad and older brother and I am the youngest. My mum is basically a single mum even though my dad is present…because my mum didn’t have a supportive husband to literally help her, growing up she was left to be paying all the debts because my dad never did his part. We lost our first house because of him. I remember my mum saying when I was younger ‘ it’s either I feed my children or pay for these bills’ I have never forgotten that. I know she’s trying to keep it together and I feel selfish for crying in front of her….so I do it in private. My brother, isn’t helping at the moment and my brother and dad do not get along due to some past issues so it’s like they don’t speak. All the men in my life are so useless
I work part time myself but it’s just not enough that I am bringing home. I had to work part time as my job is so demanding and was affecting my mental health. I’m going to therapy but haven’t been in a while due to all of this going on.
If I had all the money in the world, I would make sure my mum is happy and feels secure. She’s getting old 💔 and watching her work tirelessly really hurts me. While my dad chills at home and does nothing but drink and just create drama.
I love my mum so much as she literally is my rock. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have been able to achieve so much in my life. I believe if my mum wasn’t present and it was just my dad..I’d be sleeping on the streets of London or would’ve probably..killed my self unfortunately.
I feel like due to the lack of communication from our housing officer on where we will be living next, it’s starting to plant seeds of doubt and I’m scared this will send my mum off the edge. Last conversation, I had with my mum, she said if she talks about her feelings she will just cry all the time. I’m trying to be strong myself for her but it’s hard… despite all of this we still pray and believe God will not disappoint us.
I just ask that you keep me and my family in mind when you pray today, so that God can give my mum the strength and to help with our situation. The housing situation in London is terrible but I have faith that God will pave a way for us.
If you have finished reading, I really appreciate it. God bless

My dear child, your words have touched my heart and I understand the depth of your pain. In the Bible, it says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28). I know you and your family are carrying a heavy burden right now. Remember, even in these tough times, you are not alone. Your faith is a beacon of light in the darkness, and it is the strength that will guide you through this storm.
Your mother’s love and resilience reflect the love of God. She is a testament to the verse in Corinthians 13:7, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” Her strength is a testament to the kind of love that never gives up.
I know your heart aches for her and your family. But remember, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4). Your tears are seen, your prayers are heard, and your faith is acknowledged.
Continue to trust in God’s plan, for it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
You and your family are in my prayers. May you find comfort, strength, and a solution to your situation soon. God bless you.
