I'm a single mom who left an abusive situation. It's been a couple years. The pandemic so early in our healing process as a family has made things challenging.

I don't really know where to start, but my kids and I need prayer. We don't have any family for 500 miles. My oldest child suffered a serious facial injury recently due to a dog bite. My youngest child is 3 and has complex special needs and is starting school, much to my disappointment but it's the only way to get her the services she needs. And my middle child is struggling with adjusting to everything and seems quite shaken up at having seen her big brother attacked by a huge dog.

I've been struggling too. I've been losing weight and getting weaker, which is my stress response. I am feeling the lack of support. And I am crippled with depression since the dog bite. I can't even tell you the lack of control I feel. It happened at my ex's house and it's just been really difficult.

So God has brought me comfort and showed me that I am dependent on His grace. And He spared my son, no question, because that dog bite could've ended in his death if it had gone differently.

So I am just really struggling brothers and sisters and ask you to lift up my family in the name of Jesus. Thank you and God bless us all.

I first want to say that you are very special in God's eyes. God has a greater plan for your family and He is with you through it all. I will pray for all of you. I pray that God grants you strength, power, comfort and peace for you and your children. That He heals your oldest child physically and spiritually. That He gives your middle child peace and balance in these changes and that He grants your youngest with the services, support and help that they need. In your weakness you are made strong. Just know in the midst of the storm, God is in all control and he has blessings in store for all of you. What you are going through is to make you and not to break you. To create something better in you and not to destroy you. Be encouraged and take one moment at a time. My heart goes out to your family and I send love and huge hugs your way.
I pray God sends sunshine over you. Many blessings to you all. <3:holy::pray:

My first thought is about a lawsuit regarding the dog attack. A good lawyer could take your case on contingency. I pray for all that to happen if at all possible. You did not say if the ex is responsible, but a lawyer would know how to handle things one way or another.

I pray for holy angels to guide and help you. I pray for healing for your son and comfort for your middle child and that you will be given hope for the future, which will be realized. I pray your special needs child will get great help and do surprisingly well.

I pray you will receive healing for the abuse which you suffered from your ex and which I kind of suspect you are still feeling burdened by at least to some extent.

Thank you so much my sisters! Your prayers have brought me so much hope. I also realize I am becoming increasingly isolated due to the fact that I won't take the Covid shot. I had finally found a little church where I was comfortable, and someone attacked me for not taking the vax and implied I was a bad mother. I am grateful for our Church community here :heartpulse:

Oh Lord I lift this brave hurting woman up to you now to help have peace in her heart, give her strength to carry on and please dear lord bring the right people around her to help heal and support her with everything she needs day to day for herself and her children. In Jesus Holy name Amen.

Don’t give up, trust God now more than ever. I am a survivor of domestic violence and have been raising my kids on my own for 7 yrs, it’s been a tough road but God has been there every step of the way.

You are very welcomed! We are here to support you and show love. I am glad that you were able to find a church home. That can be difficult to do. I am also looking for a home church to join in my local area as well.
As far as those who judge you as a bad mother because you won't get the covid shot, should be ashamed of themselves. Everyone is entitled to their points of views or opinions, but it's never okay to judge or criticize. At the end of the day, God loves you and your family and what others think doesn't matter. Keep doing what you are doing and stay encouraged. Take each day at a time and always do your best and know that your best is always enough.
Much Love sent your way.
Have a great weekend! :clap::grinning:

Thank you so much my sisters! Your prayers have brought me so much hope. I also realize I am becoming increasingly isolated due to the fact that I won't take the Covid shot. I had finally found a little church where I was comfortable, and someone attacked me for not taking the vax and implied I was a bad mother. I am grateful for our Church community here :heartpulse:
I am sorry that some people are trying to bully you into taking the vaccine. Bullies bully people for whatever reasons they can think of. I have had a couple of people try to bully me into wearing a mask. It didn’t work. I only wear one if I am in a business that requires one. But I know to some extend how you feel.

I haven’t taken the vaccine and I never will. I was warned off of vaccines 25 years ago. By a doctor! The more I researched, for example with Dr. Suzanne Humphries, and the movie VAXXED, the more I knew I would never take a vaccine.

They keep saying that the vaccines -which certainly haven’t gone through the standard scientific protocols and which sometimes come from the strains of aborted fetal tissue, and which reportedly can change your RNA -are saving people from Covid.

So if they are so effective why do they keep telling people to take more and more vaccines? Rhetorical question.

As soon as I heard about COVID-19 I knew it was going to be used to push vaccines.

I pray that you and your family will be protected from anything that is unhealthy for you,and that you’ll be protected from bullies.

Continuing in prayers... Have to delete sometimes, because my heart is heavy with the division in things like the vaccine and politics have caused.

Sisters (and brothers), I am seeking prayer so desperately right now.

Every once of my intuition, which is given by God, protested when the school insisted that my young daughter, who has very complex multiple special needs, be enrolled in person. But they lorded the services over me. Perhaps I did not consider it prayerfully enough. In fact, I was just doing what I was told and assumed it was the best.

I was alarmed when her case manager reported that she put chokeable objects in her mouth and they had to take them out. I had already written emails about her habits of putting objects into her mouth and was assured she would be kept safe. And they had already seen this happen during a site visit. It was unacceptable, but I felt there was nothing I could do about it.

There were other red flags, too many to write.

It all came to a head last week. My young helpless child who has a mental age of about 6 months was in the care of two physical therapists and a one-on-one paraprofessional. She was knocked over by a child in class. She hit the back of her head.

The rest of the details are elusive and change based on who I ask.

The levels of messed-`up-ness of this are beyond what I am able to humanly communicate.

It's been almost 10 days and I still don't know. what. the F happened.
yeah I have been using that word lately, and I am sorry sometimes, but not always.

She had a concussion the day after. Inconsolable crying, not self-feeding, falling in positions she's usually stable, increased GI episodes.

She seemed better the next day. But this week she is back to being irritable and lethargic, sleeping extra and not as mobile.

I am in touch with her doctor's office and am trying to figure it out.
But it's really fffffing impossible when I don't even know what happened.
This is a public school in the USA.
PreK, most vulnerable kid in the building.
I'm so stressed that my brain is fried to the point of laser perfection. I'm praying to be able to articulate what I need to say. And absorb what I need to hear.
Only God can help me.

Blessings brothers and sisters, in the name of Jesus. Here in the US it is Thanksgiving weekend. I am praying over our country. God has opened my eyes to the evil that is transpiring. What happened at my child's school is a manifestation of the spiritual battle.

So much has happened in the last few weeks. I am noticing a pervasive pattern of incompetence and mismanagement at the school. It is so deep that I have decided to home school my older kids who were enrolled there..

It's just scary. My oldest child got a dog bite at my ex's. He is still healing and may need more surgery. My youngest child got injured by a child at school. She is still recovering, and her neurologist says it could take a couple months for her to heal... I feel that we are being attacked on all sides; by what I can see, we are indeed. I am bewildered.

I also appear to be suffering political(?) persecution for not being vaccinated, and not wanting my kids vaccinated against Covid. I hesitate to call it political because the origin of my decision is from my spirit and not my political beliefs. But the persecution isn't religious per se. I have very few people I can relate to. Even church is a battleground. So I haven't been going. I am already so worn down by the life battle that I don't want more fight. It's sad that's how church has become a fight for me, yet again. I thought I had finally found a safe place. But this vaccine is becoming a dividing point.

I am sickened about the vaccine being given to children now. In our community, kids ages 5 to 11 are eligible. I am so sad about everything and it feels very lonely because hardly anyone I know sees things the way I do.

I feel like I understand what you are saying and I am praying on this matter quite a bit. You are not the only one I hear this from. It has been a hard year or so in general. Bless you. Thankful God is with us and strengthening us. Father, remind us on of who we are in You and keep us strong in trusting You!

Thank you friends for your continued prayers. My great aunt is now in the hospital after getting her third shot. She is not that old and started having trouble walking after the first two. Now she has pneumonia and can't walk at all. I don't know if she's in the ICU or what's going on, because she hasn't been picking up her phone at the hospital for the last few days.

I am beyond upset. She is the only believer in my family. She told me the other week that she's been praying to Mary. I'm not sure why. I asked her about it and told her that only God deserves our prayers. But she said it makes her feel good. I hope this is a distraction and not an indication of where her spirit is. She is the only person in my family who I've felt a deep understanding from. I announced my first pregnancy to her, before my own mother. I am praying she pulls through.

I am also upset because as I've mentioned, I don't trust these shots, and now to have a dearly beloved family member's life on the line... is pushing me from frustration / isolation to boiling anger about this so-called vaccine. I had a dream about it in February 2021. Am I supposed to share it? And how? I don't know. I am praying for the Lord to guide me.

I pray for the Lord to protect and direct your path so that you can live to please him and be thankful.
I am thankful in the UK for the vaccine that our medical teams have produced that has stopped so many people from dying and given the country the protection from the deadly covid virus. I and my family have had both vaccinations and the booster. I pray for your country that they will be careful in their research and morally responsible in the production of the vaccine.
May the Lord draw you close to himself as you read your Bible and pray everyday in Jesus name.

Well this is depressing. My great aunt died within a month of my sharing this post. And now a beloved non-believing family member is suffering indefinite consequences post-booster.
Sigh. God help us. There's madness all around and it's truly bewildering. I'm not on the side of either camp... I see both sides and I'm staying right on Narrow Way.
