I humbly ask for your prayers for my family and me. My sisters are already well-settled with stable homes, but my family and I are still struggling financially. My late mother had wished to give me her property to help us, but my sister insisted on receiving her rightful share. I am considering selling my gold to buy the property with the money I have...If it is His will, may it be possible for my sisters to accept it without asking for more. If not, I pray that I will have the grace to let it go and forget it, trusting His plan. Please pray for God’s guidance, wisdom, and peace in this situation. ...Pray also for my husband’s work, our financial stability, and God’s provision for our family’s future. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

Dear Mother, I am having a really hard time at work because even when I work efficiently so other people can get on with their work smoothly, they still accused me, blame me and make things very hard for me. The other day, I got my Financial Statements balanced and I was so happy and as I was about to save my workings, my boss was also using the spreadsheet and after there's an unknown variance. She and the other people in the team are purposely changing my work to make me more dependent on them and bow down to them. It's very hard for me mentally and physically. I am struggling so much internally. Please help me have my rightful place. If they have to keep doing that to make me seem worse than them, then I must not belong where I am. I must belong above them so please give me what rightfully belongs to me, with all Your favours and blessings. I am very tired with the games. I want to live my life freely and rightfully. Amen
