I must leave my home, sadly.

It is decided that I must leave my home of 3 years by October 15th at the latest. Prior to living here, I was homeless, living from motel to motel, or sleeping in my car, for 10 years. Prior to that, I had the same home available to me for 40 years. It was in losing this original home, that my spirit became so broken, and I grasped at anything that could keep me off the streets. I absolutely do NOT drink, smoke or use drugs or do prostitution. I am a good woman inside. But I was unprepared in life to obtain or maintain an occupation that would allow me to be self reliant, and I am ashamed and suffering the consequences of that. God have mercy. I do not know where I will go from here, and I am scared. Amen.

A Prayer for Those Who Live Alone

I live alone, dear Lord, stay by my side.
In all my needs, please be my guide.

Grant me good health, for that I pray,
to carry on my work each day.

Keep pure my mind, my thoughts and deeds.
Help me be kind, to meet others' needs.

Save me from harm and malicious tongues,
from pain and fear and evil one.

When I am sick, in need of care,
O Lord, I pray, that You be near.

When I am low or in despair,
lift up my heart and hear my prayer.

I live alone, dear Lord, yet have no fear,
because I know, that You are near.
Amen.

Dear Grace, You don't know how much it pains me that you will be out on the streets again. I haven't met you, but I want you to have shelter and food, and a clean bed on which to sleep. Please try to contact Catholic Charities in your region. There's also the St. Vincent de Paul Society. They might be able to help. These are the two organizations with which I'm more familiar. There are probably more.

Please keep in touch, even if you have to go to a library to use their computer. I will continue to pray for you. May God bless you abundantly and profoundly. May he lead you closer to his heart as each day passess. May he never leave your side. Through Jesus Christ I pray.

Prayer to St. Rita, (Saint of the Impossible)

St. Rita, God gave you to us as an example of charity and patience, and offered you a share in the Passion of His Son. I thank Him for the many blessings He bestowed upon you during your lifetime, especially during your unhappy marriage and during the illness you suffered in the convent.
May your example encourage me to carry my own cross patiently and to live a holier life. By serving God as you did, may I please Him with my faith and my actions.
I fail because of my weakness, Pray to God for me that He may restore me to His love through His grace and help me on my way to salvation.
In your kindness hear my prayer and ask God to grant me this particular request if it be His Will: (Mention your request).
May your prayers help me to live in fidelity to my calling as you did and bring me to the deeper love of God and my neighbor until I reach eternal life in heaven. Amen.
Prayer
O God, in Your infinite tenderness You have been pleased to regard the prayer of Your servant Rita, and to grant to her supplication that which is impossible to human foresight, skill, and effort, in reward for her compassionate love and firm reliance on Your promises.
Have pity on our adversities and comfort us in our calamities, that unbelievers may know that You are the recompense of the humble, the defense of the helpless, and the strength of those who trust in You. Grant this in the Name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

My Dear Sister in Christ...I won't go so far as to say that we, all of us on this stie, all have fear; however, I can say without any reservation that I do. Sounds to me that what you are going through is something called life. The very moment we solve one problem another is just looming away...waiting for us with our names imprinted on the "To" corner. When we each came to know Christ as our Savior, He did not say that He would wash away all problmes for us, no indeed, He did wash away all sin, but the rest is a choice that we make with our Free Will. You are looking at what is going on as a "problem" and I recently heard it said that if we focus our attention on our problems, that our problems will cause us to stumble...If we focus on our Lord then our problems will crumble away. Believe me, I am not minimizing or nullifying that experience that you are having concerning the things going on in your life...not at all. I am merely suggesting that for me to suggest that our Lord cannont put me in a place that He feels is best fo rme, then I am truly denying his Love for me.
Father God, I raise my Sister right now and I stand with her on her concern about where she will be living...where she will lay her head, where she will call home. Father God, place her heart and life under your protection and cast away, once and for all, the fears that she has that do not come from you, and have her focus on you with the knowledge that you are our Father and will provide for us blessings in abundance. I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ...Amen.

GraceEmmanuel - 9 months ago: Lord, thank you for my new friend, Michael Anthony, and for his reasoning and calming words of wisdom. Help me to remember that faith is the absence of fear, and that fear is the absence of faith, which I already know, but that is also sometimes so hard to keep a grip on when you are being stared down by satan. Sometimes I feel satan's breath on my neck lately, and I say out loud, "get thee behind me", but he keeps returning to try and finish me off, and even to tempt me to do desperate things. Lord, keep satan away from us all. Amen.

GraceEmmanuel - 9 months ago: Jesus, thank you for my new frind, J Hintz, and for her understanding and prayers. Lord, let her never know, first handed, what I am going through, no, not even my worst enemy, the temptation that satan is putting before me in these times. Give her a better life than I have, and keep her safe, always. Amen.
