Please pray, I'm going crazy.

Hello all.

I'm afraid I'm getting quite depressed.

You see, when my parents divorced my mom lost tens of thousands of dollars.

We have been struggling quite a bit these last few years.

Now, my mother is deep in debt. She has pawned family heirlooms like my grandparents' wedding rings, and is making payments just so she won't lose them.

I am desperately looking for a job. I'm 18, and at the end of my senior year of high school. If I get a job, most of my money will go to my mother, to help pay her debt. I wish it were otherwise as I'd love to save for college, but I can't watch my bank account grow while my mother is in the red.

What's more, my graduation is coming up. My mother and her boyfriend will be there. My father will also be there. It is going to be so awkward as neither of these men like each other.

I know this is terribly selfish, but I'm often very depressed with the thought that this isn't how my life was supposed to be.

I have been throwing myself into my Church and the study of my religious beliefs. I see now that this is to help distract me from my family's situation.

It feels like my mother is now dragging me into the hole with her.

Please pray that God will help me deal with this.

Hi Halupki,

I will pray for your financial and family situation to improve. I know things can get really hard especially when it feels like you have the burden of the family on your shoulders, but God works in mysterious ways, and you have to believe that he will see you through this! I really do admire people like you who sacrifice so much for those around them and who would do anything to help people out. Your mother is very blessed to have a child like you around. Keep praying and keep working hard- things WILL get better, and I will pray that they get better soon.

Dear Lord, thank you for the honesty and ability of this child that they were able to openly share their issues with their brothers and sisters. I pray that you would surround him with your love, comfort and shelter and remind him of the greatness you have in store for him, and the plans you have for his life. I pray that the situation between his father and his mother's boyfriend calms and resolves, as we know, just like the roaring seas, anything fierce will calm at your word, Lord. Comfort this man and help him toward the path of peace in this difficult situation.

Through your Son, Jesus Christ, I pray.
Amen.
