My request is for any emergency assistance for housing and financial assistance for food and accommodations. I have been at a house in Houston Texas, for a month and in the process of reapplying for disabiliy. I pray for the crisis situations to end and the ability to live, not survival of the streets. Thank you for your prayers.

My name is Tadashi, I am reaching out because I need assistance and prayer. I am disabled, and my oldest son is also; he is schizophrenic. My daughter just went back to work at Walmart; she had a baby in February and during her pregnancy she began having seizures, sometimes up to 8 a day. Needless to say, the last 14 months have been very hard, but I always made things work. My youngest son went to work in July (part-time); he helps with my oldest two because sometimes I can't get out of bed. I need all the prayers I can get.

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.
