My heart is heavy with sorrow because of the pain he caused me. You see my heartache, You know the tears I have shed, and You understand the confusion I feel. I don’t understand why he left, but deep inside, I still believe there is love between us. Lord, if it is Your will, please bring him back into my life in a way that aligns with Your perfect plan. If he is not meant for me, give me the strength to let go and find true happiness in You.

Father, I also lift up my stepmom to You. She has applied for a job at St. Marks, and we have been waiting anxiously for the results. Lord, please let her receive this job if it is Your will. We are in need of financial stability, and this opportunity could bring us the security and fresh start we long for. I would love the chance to live by the river, attend a new school, and begin a new chapter in life with hope and excitement.

Lord, I need Your presence now more than ever. Please provide for us, lead us, and give us peace as we wait.

Thank You for the blessings You have already given me—for the food I ate today, for the roof over my head, and for the people in my life who love me. I ask that You continue to protect me and my loved ones each day and night. Please guide me through my fears, strengthen my faith, and show me the path You want me to follow.
