I never do this. But recently it feels like the whole world is falling all over me. My husband had a bunch of strokes last year which have rendered him disabled in several ways, one of the most prevalent being dementia/ amnesia. Think 50 First Dates. Because of that, i cant work. I have to be here for him most hours of the day. We've had no luck so far with disability, and now the hospital is after us for what his insurance didn't cover. Even paying our monthly bills is getting near impossible. So i guess I'm asking, if anyone has a moment, could you please put a prayer in for us? Life is tough already. It seems like it's worse every day. He's a ghost of the man I once knew, and now I have very little ability to pay for our very humble life. Not praying for a million bucks, just a chance to stay in the home we raised our kids and got married in, and the ability to keep the lights on. Thank you, and God bless.

Dear Fren,
It can be hard to look for help when it seems you’re facing disaster (believe me, I know!) Primal survival instincts kick in and powerful emotions (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) hijack one’s ability to think. I pray that God, who indeed is First, calms your spirit so that you can observe what’s going on rather than be damaged or defeated by it.
You are so brave to present your situation to us and ask for prayers. Among the pleasures of prayer are the helpful thoughts that can flow forth from it, and I see much good advice and many helpful suggestions gathering here already.
My prayer for you is that you are able to evaluate the ideas this amazing community offers, select those that are to you and your husband’s very best advantage, and implement them with a clear head and a peaceful heart.
🧐❤️✝️🙏🏻
Thank you so much
