My burdens are great and hard as I've tried, I can't do this alone anymore. I am a 69 year old married woman with 3 adult children who all have financial problems and 5 adopted girls ages 12-19 at home and one on her own with 3 children and expecting twins. If that weren't enough I have taken in a pregnant granddaughter her husband and two children It would take a book to explain all their problems. Through it all I tried to play mother Mary, I have maxed out all of my credit cards trying to help everyone to no avail and now find my self in debtor's prison. The only way I see for things to improve is to win a lottery or for money to fall from the sky! My husband is 74 years old and has been a saint but he is getting tired, not in the best of health and just wants to live in a peaceful, normal and nice home. With all these people living here our home is falling apart what was once an investment will take a lot of money and repairs to bring it back to normal. I can barely put food on the table. I am so lost and so confused. I pray non stop and feel like God has just given up on me. Another granddaughter just 22 lost her only baby to SIDS at two and a half months old and turned to shooting up drugs to cover the pain, She is now in jail facing 5 felony's for drug possession, only one pill on her for each offence and my heart bleeds for her. I keep the faith and I keep praying but have this overwhelming feeling that its just a sign of the times and things will only get worse. Please pray that God will hear my prayers and release these burdens off my shoulders. I keep handing it all over to him but seem to see no results. I know things are done in his time not ours and I also know that if we pray together in Jesus name miracles can happen! I know I put myself in financial ruins but I don't know how to get out of the mess I am in!
