Salvation of my Family. My family to be loving and close like we once were. My oldest grandson to get focused and back in college. This time taking his classes more seriously. That I don’t lose my FAITH in FATHER GOD! I’m tired of struggling and pretending that I’m okay by smiling on the outside yet broken on the inside. Not wanting to lose our home in foreclosure. Seeking to make sure that I am not missing the mark with FATHER GOD in JESUS name.

@Ewargoe1 welcome. God sees every tear you have shed behind that smile, and He hears the deepest cries of your spirit. You do not have to pretend to be strong before Him; He welcomes you exactly as you are, weary, heavy-laden, and seeking His face.
Here are God’s promises for each area you brought before Him:
On your family’s salvation and unity: God cares deeply for your home. Scripture reminds us that faith in Jesus extends a blessing to our entire household. Trust Him to draw your loved ones back to Himself and to heal past rifts.
“And they said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” Acts 16:31
And in Psalms
"A Song of Ascents.
Of David. Behold,
how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!" Psalm 133:1
On your grandson’s direction and College focus: Pray for God to align his mind, give him clarity, and place a renewed sense of purpose within him.
"Commit your work to the LORD,
and your plans will be established." Proverbs 16:3
Not just him, but all of us,
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5
On your weariness and internal pain: It is exhausting to smile on the outside while carrying brokenness within. God does not demand perfection or performance; He asks for your surrender so He can give you peace.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
Jesus said to us,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."Matthew 11:28
We read this in Galatians
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
On financial provision and your home: Bring this burden explicitly to the Lord, trusting Him as your Jehovah Jireh (the Lord Who Provides). Seek local housing resources, counseling, or assistance programs alongside prayer, knowing God can make a way where things seem impossible.
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
On “not missing the mark” with God: Your desire to stay aligned with God shows that your heart is already seeking Him. Salvation and right standing with God are not maintained through perfect performance, but through faith and humble walking with Jesus.
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
Let us pray, Father, in the name of Jesus, we bring Ewargoe1 before You. Lift the weight of pretending to be okay when the heart is hurting. Wrap Your arms around this household. Bring salvation, restoration, and true unity to the family. Grant wisdom, focus, and diligence to the oldest grandson as he steps back into his education. We ask for Your intervention regarding their home, open doors of provision, guidance, and relief from financial strain. Show them that You are God, and You can handle any situation. Renew their faith today, Lord. Remind them that they are loved, seen, and held in Your grace. In Jesus’ name we ask and pray, Amen!
Peter
