Please. Need prayers...I am completely broken

[singpeace]

"Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored; those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish. You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them, those who war with you will be as nothing, and non-existent. For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, who says to you, do not fear, I will help you." Isaiah 41:11-13

"In righteousness you will be established; you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near you. If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me. Whoever assails you will fall because of you. Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings out a weapon for its work; and I have created the destroyer to ruin. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from Me, declares the Lord." Isaiah 54:14-17


Good Shepherd, thank You for leading and guiding Mary. Keep her in Your tender care. Be her Rock of Refuge and Shield of Defense. Make her secure and protect her. Help Mary to walk in Your light at all times. Be her personal Lord, Savior and Friend. May she stand in awe of Your love for her. In Jesus' Name I pray and thank You for Your will to come to pass in Mary's life. Amen

Dear heart, praying that God's own hand guides you and prompts you to take the steps necessary to take care of yourself right now, and gives you the words to say what is necessary to agencies that can advocate and act on your behalf. Asking Him to be a visible, concrete GOOD Shepherd for you at this most jarring, crisis-prompting time. Father intervene and defend, and protect as only You can do. Show Mary that You are ABLE and that You are our Provider and a very PRESENT HELP in our times of trouble and our SHELTER from this very real storm swirling about her. Grant her steadiness, wisdom, clarity, and Your inexplicable peace through all of this, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Yes, what she said! So be it.

Mary, I'm so sorry. I had no idea that you had physical limitations preventing you from attending church. That breaks my heart.

The minister you talked about: it sounds like she is ideally placed to visit you. Perhaps she has been placed in your life by the Lord? I would encourage you to contact her. I can tell you now that, if she truly practices what she preaches, she will not judge you or condemn you in any way for not attending church.

On the contrary, I'm sure she will be thrilled to hear from you and would be glad to help in any way she can. You need not go through this struggle on your own Mary. You have God to help you, yes. But being with fellow Christians makes things more bearable and its what Jesus wishes us to do: fellowship.

This is a concept I still find myself struggling with, I have a tendency to try to tackle huge problems by myself, thinking that I can always win through sheer will power and determination, but that is not always so.

Go with God,
Ryan

Thank, you Ryan. I am considering calling this minister. I don't know or have not contact with any others.

Sounds like it might be a good idea to call the minister, yes. Praying God guides all your thoughts and words and the minister's as well. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen. (((hug)))

Thank you, brinny.
I am thinking strongly about calling the minister. I need to work up my courage.
I am hoping I will feel better first. I just feel so sick. I'm having headaches and nausea. I cannot eat or sleep.

 

[Stephanie7]

Mary, I'm so sorry that you were even put in such a situation.

Father God, thank You there is hope with You. Mary's heart is broken, understandably so, as she has cared for and nurtured the man she loves for so long, and now that she is unable to provide the care he needs, all her help and compassion has been forgotten. LORD, You have not forgotten, You have seen all that she has done for him with Your own eyes, and heard all her encouraging words. LORD today I ask that You will heal her of her broken heart, and bless her for providing care to the one she loves, In Jesus Name, Amen

 

[Amber Bird]

You poor dear. My prayers are with you.

Another thing I wanted to say, because there are so many pages perhaps this has been suggested already, that I would highly recommend you consult an attorney!

You might even ask the minister you were referred to, if you go to them, to suggest one.
If you're in love with this man, I wouldn't think you are considered a full on tenant with any lease that would be subject to renewal.

You say this man loves you however, clearly he loves his children more since he's signed the eviction notice.
I wonder why they want a man in his 80's, father or not, to be left alone in the house with those who already prove themselves not to have his best interest at heart when they have allegedly bullied him into evicting his love.

I know an attorney seems to be an extreme step. However, evicting a mans lady love is exactly that. And, the motives of his children have to be called into question on this. If they love their father one would think they'd have his best interest at heart in these twilight years.
Evicting his lady is not something that indicates that. Though I realize none of us know all of the details of your personal life together.

And, by consulting an attorney to preserve your own best interests, who knows? You could be saving this man you love from something he doesn't see in the motivations of his sons. Something is very wrong with this situation as they've ganged up on you after all these years cohabiting with their father. Don't let this eat you alive inside without fighting for your peace of mind. (my sincere hope for your peace and comfort surrounds you)

God Bless and keep you.

Thank you Stephanie. That was lovely- and so deeply appreciated.

Dear Amber Bird, You are right. Something is very wrong with this situation.

I do love this man and I know he feels love for me.
Undoubtedly, he does love his children more.
But now that the free housekeeper, cook and nurse for their father is frail and weak, they want her out.
(They all live in other cities and didn't bother to come around their father much until I became weak and frail.
The son who lives with us didn't come to see his father in six years- and he only lived 150 miles away!)
They are scared to death I will get some of his money. ( I do not want that. I just want the home with him he promised)

I will consult Texas legal aid for an attorney.
I might have a case;
There is no logical reason for eviction. I still do what I can for the father and I have always given him money each month for groceries, etc.
There is the sudden 'eviction' in the middle of August heat in Texas (almost 100 daily) I have a heart condidtion
I would need to go to a retirement community- which you cannot find in a month's notice.

There is the matter of 'elder abuse'; severe emotional abuse on the part of the family.

A few examples:
The daughter and her daughter have both pursued me to my room where I fled to get away from their verbal abuse, put their foot in the door and grabbed me by the arm (bruising it) to keep me from closing the door, while yelling, 'You don't close that door. This is my dad's house. You have NO rights here'.

The alcoholic son with a jail history (goes to AA) who lives here with us, has numerous times gotten in my face yelling at me, and has even raised his hand to me.
He waters down the milk, pours cheap orange juice into expensive OJ bottles
and thinks I don't know it. (He does the grocery shopping and I suspect this is a little way of making himself some change.)
God only knows what else he does.
I have reason to believe he was peeping into my bedroom window.
Of course I cannot prove this, but it is true.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.
I doubt if I would have a case. I can't prove any of it. I'ts worth a try, though, I guess.

That you for your advice and prayers.

Mary

I've heard there's something called, 'breach of promise'. That's something you might ask an attorney about if you consult one. If this man promised you a home and now he's going back on that due to the pressure his sons are exerting on him.

Also, I'd hope there is some kind of legal recourse available to you, if you've cared for this man in the same way as a wife would, and now that you're frail and need to be taken care of he's kicking you out.

I've heard "common law wife" is a status that many women have available to them for legal protection in long term relationships. However, I've also heard many States have done away with that as well.
You might do a search for your State and those search terms, just to see.

One last thing. If you suspect the son's are up to no good with their father and the finances, you might at least have a chance at protecting the father with one of those "nanny cameras". They come in all sorts of styles and are hidden camera's secreted inside of anything from teddy bears to picture frames. You might consider purchasing something like that and secreting them around the house to see what you can gather on tape.

Who knows? Worst case scenario, especially given the questionable character of at least one son, you could be the angel your beloved needs to save him from his own offspring.

I wish you God's protection and better days ahead.

Yes, I've heard of 'breach of promise'.
Re; common law- it's still alive and well in Texas.


This morning when I was taking my heart pill, I looked at the bottle and I thought
'if I just took them all...'
That shows how very broken I am.
I've prayed and prayed. I've found no peace, just the same cruel words reverberating in my tortured mind.
I feel that God has forgotten me.

 

[Paroder]

Fuegoviva, thank you. You are most kind.

I have prayed, but at this point I feel utterly broken and forsaken- even by God.
I've always tried to be a good person.
What have I done to deserve this at this stage in my life?
I have little money and no place to go.
I'm not even well enough to get out and look for a new place to live at this point- especially in this Texas heat of 100 degrees and up.

I have lost faith in other people, and I'm losing faith in God.
I just don't know if I can go on- and I don't know if I want to, if this is the payment one gets for trying to lead a decent life and trying to do the right thing.

Don't lose faith in God. I promise that you will be taken care of. I am praying.

 

[MaryATexasChristian]

Don't lose faith in God. I promise that you will be taken care of. I am praying.

Thank you for praying for me.
I have asked God to help me, but I am still sick with despair.
Maybe I just don't know how to pray.
