Father, I ask you my request in prayer at these moments in my life, I am unstable, this is the first time this has happened to me, everything has always been happy, but now it is horrible, I do not know how to explain it: I have a lot of despair, anguish that I cannot control, and that causes me a lot of insomnia and I feel weak because I don't sleep and as if my mind doesn't rest even when I want to sleep and I feel empty in my heart, and it fills me with fear, but the Lord be my healer and liberator, I thank brothers of Christ, for your prayers at this time, and thank you for sharing the prayer, thank you, I will always be writing to you.

My mum has mental health issues. My mum is mentally ill now. It is a long story, as a lot of things have happened. My mum thinks my dad is a jerk, but she is the one who is the jerk. She is threatening things. For one example, threatening to leave my dad and a lot of things she does not make sense. I hope he changes her mind about leaving and my family stays together and gets angry less often about things. Canadian Prime Minister is planning a budget plan to make things easier for people to live, I hope the other parties of Canada agree with the plan as we don’t need another election and one of the party leaders has very questionable ethics, and I hope he never becomes a prime minister. I also hope it doesn't snow (the kind that stays for a while) until mid-December so that I can do things before the big snowfall comes.
