I am a single mom, of two kids, I have been saved but have since turned away from my faith. Im trying now to find my way back but it is a hard road. I am just emotionally, and financially, and spiritually struggling! I am engaged to a guy that is not a christian, and Im just lost hes been doing alot of things that are not exceptable to me, and i can not get him to quit! I can not financially support my kids without him, but he wont stop what hes doing, hes addicted! I have a job that pays pretty good but i hate it, there really cruel to me and with the economy the way it is good jobs are hard to find. I am in such turmoil, turmoil at work, turmoil at home, turmoil in my relationship with God. I just need prayers, advice anything. I turned my back on God and i do not think it should be a easy road back to him, but i use to feel God so strongly in my heart and i just want that feeling of peace again. I read the bible and i try to pray but it just doesnt feel the same anymore and im at my breaking point!

Remember you are not responsible for his salvation, God is. That knowledge took me far when I dealt with a similar situation.
Focus first on your relationship with God, and I promise other issues will fall into place. I know that seems hard to see right now, but if you believe, your life will change!
Here are 2 verses that helped me, and I hope they help you:
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
If you seek God first in everything, He will bless you. He will make sure your needs are met, and that you have joy and peace even when you go through trials.
I really hope this helps!

I will tell you what God told my Mom : "If you make me everything, I'll be better than any man has ever been too you." I think this can apply too you... I know it's scary, but let God be your everything and He will give you what no human can give you. I will pray for you and ask my Mom to pray for you as well.

Hi, I remember being on the mountaintop with God, and also going through a complacent period. My happiest moments are when I'm closest to God, and doing His will, even though I find it difficult and even fail. I pray for a revelation for anyone who struggles like this, blessings!

Why don't you give him an altimatium? And stop being an enabler to him. then maybe try starting your own business. It can be ANYTHING REALLY. Like house cleaning, deliveries, babysitting, lawn mowing, a trade, maybe an online business, or whatever you want really. Just work hard at it. Meanwhile I'll be praying for you okay. Dear lord please please come to this persons aid. Help her to know this is only temporary and things will turn around soon. Amen

Father God, grant this woman wisdom and discernment. You know of her struggle. Help her to make sound decisions and grant her a way out of her financial hardship, so she does not have to rely on anyone for support. Help her to think about her upcoming marriage as well so she will be doing it for the right reasons and not the wrong ones, In Jesus Name, thank You LORD, help her now, In Jesus Name, Amen
