    I need your prayers. I trusted my sister n law, that I could live here till death. the house belongs to her and mother n law. Agreement was we pay taxes and insurance and upkeep. I put my life savings in this house, to make it the home I would spend the rest of my life in. mother n law died, Johnny died 2 years ago, now she says move. I am no longer able to work, put all my money in this place. when we moved here she was offered $8000 for it, now after our work and money she can sell for 300000. I only draw $850 SS. can;t find a place I can afford with my 3 animals. please pray for me to stop having these awful thoughts of revenge, I wouldn't do any of them but I keep thinking of ways to make her feel bad. I don't want to be that way. Ican live in a tent as long as there is some where to plug my oxygyn in. please pray for the bad thoughts to stop. thank you

    Dear Dianne, may the peace and comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you. May the Lord hear every prayer and supplication being lifted for you. I agree with Gigi and Donna's prayers for you.

    Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

    But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

    Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. ( Matthew 10:29-31)

    I'm so sorry to hear what you are currently going through, but I pray you will learn all you need to during this time. I believe the Lord has us go through trials to test our faith, and test our love for our enemies/those who despitefully use us. Even when the Lord feels far, He is right there with you. Stay even more faithful now than ever, and God will see you through, no matter what His perfect will and timing is.

    If, for some reason it is God's will for your trial to be very difficult, please also consider Job and his powerful testimony as encouragement to stay faithful and humble during your trail.

    Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

    And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

    In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. ( Job 1:20-22)

    So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: ( Job 42:12a)

    You are not alone. I've made a note of your request in my prayer journal and will continue in prayer for you.

    There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. ( 1 Corinthians 10:13)

    Pray always that ye enter not into temptation.

    To God be the glory. Blessed be the name of our Lord.

    Dianne, my heart breaks for you right now. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I pray right now that God will find a way to work this out and receive all the glory! I pray for your thoughts and emotions that the Lord would work a miracle for you. And give you peace. I agree together with GiGis prayer for you 100%. Do your very best to think of ways to love and bless those who hurt you. And let Jesus take care of the rest. I will be praying for you.

    Dear Dianne, I will pray for you today.

    Dear Lord Jesus, we ask for You to provide all of Diane's needs in this situation. Cause her sister to reverse her decision to force Diane out or to repay Diane for her investment into this home plus appreciation in value. We ask that You will continue to house Diane in adequate housing that keeps her safe and comfortable. She is vulnerable, so do not allow anyone to take advantage of her or mistreat her. Protect her. Change the heart of her sister so that she will honor the promise made to Diane. We ask this in Your name, Jesus.

    Amen.
