Hey everyone. Iv just recently returned and rejoined after about a year away. Im in need of some desperate prayer im afraid, your prayers have helped before and so im asking for them again please




Ill try not to make this too long. My uncle got evicted about two months or so ago (got behind on rent because of drugs) and as a result left his eighteen year old son (my cousin) homeless. He cant live with my aunt because he's a very troubled boy, he had childhood from hell and thats putting it mildly.Anyway years ago he tried molesting my grandmother and my little sister,and has alot of built of up anger from his childhood. We thought he had gotton past it being eighteen now but no. Few months back, before he turned eighteen my sister (who i should mention is somewhat mentally handicapped and was born premature and has NO way to defend herself) came crying to my aunt (whom she lives with) that he came in there late one night pressuring her to have sex, showingher condoms and everything. she was hysterical and highly upset. needless to say he is banned from spending the night there ever again or whenever she is there. Cops were called of course but no charges were pressed since he didnt technically rape her.

So were his onyl place left to go since my cousins (my uncles daughter) is having to take in my uncle. Were stuck with my perverted cousin and my mom and i are beyond miserable. All he does is wanna get high all the time. Eat all our food. He stays up all night on my moms computer giving it viruses,then sleeps all day till sometimes 4 in the afternoon on our couch. When he does get out to make a little money mowing a yard or something for somenone every penny goes on pot and crack, he doesnt help us out wiht bills or food or anything. When we say something about him sleeping all day he gets an atttitude and cusses us. Plus..as you can imagine my mom..everytime she looks at him she thinks what he did to her daughter and it makes her sick and it does me too. He doesnt wanna work and wont help out around the house either. He flipped nuts one night, wanted to kill himself and shota hot through our window with his beebee gun and then took his bat going down the street hitting every sign he could and that was before he got mad and grabbed my mom putting bruises on her. I can handle it, just barely but i can. My mom though gets so stressed out she gets bad panic and anxiety attacks and chest pains and had to be in bed half the day


My mom and i stay so tense when hes here, that we can barely eat and I too find myself just going to my room and crying sometimes. He has literally NO where else to go. He does get a monthly check, well he used too. hes trying to get it started back up and hopefully get his own place. He says he wants too but..it just doesn't seen to be happening. Iv prayed for him i know hes had hard life and we tell him we love him and hug him but tis hard..kiv prayed for him nearly every night, but please....I need prayers that something will happen because..for one..were not allowed to have someone living with us longer than two weeks and its been months alreadyw ere risking ournecks here to give him a place to stay. I keep thinking mybe its for a reason and God wants him here so he can get love and mybe i can talk to him about God, I just dont know.


Were at our witts end and even my moms therapist and a few family members have told us to kick him out let him spend few nights outside to help him act better..i wouldntmind so much but my mom and aunt are too big hearted to do it. Prayers please! that eh can get his check again and get far away from us...I don't know how much more we can take.

:(

Than you all soooo much! i did'nt expect so many replies but im thrilled about that, totally am



I do have an update. My cousin got his disability check started up, and a week sooner than exspected and i truly believe it was because of ll the prayers from you guys. Seriously praise God. He got around three thuosand in back pay and unfortunatly he spent nearly all of it on hunting gear!... bows, guns, hunting knifes, hunting clothes,you name it. Spent a fortune and of course on drugs too (sigh)we told him he needed to save for a place of his own but does he listen? noooo.He did atleast agree to help out with light bill every month, so thats something. now hes going to get 480 a month until he gets his own place then he will get around 300 more to cover his bills. SO....i still need prayers please that God will help get him on the ball about applying for an apartment and such because he is getting in no hurry what so ever. He claims he is anxious to get his own place, but just not so sure.

**new update8*

Im sorry to still complain abuot this but my cousin has notmade any calls i just found out. He is not even trying to find a place of his own and now we havee his friend stayinghere too, his friend is nice and polite and helps around the house, unlike him but thats not the point.If we were not at out witts end before, we are now! then my moms cousins who si alsoa drug head and his gf came voer night wantign to stay and store tehre luggage here and my mom...all she could do was cry and nearly have a panic attack. They hit the road she told them no but i dont think she has will to tell his friend no. shes too big hearted. its one thing after the to her, were not a hotel. wev barely been moved in a year and were miserable and cant even enjoy our new home.My dad heard how uspet my mom was and offered to come kick everyone out and my mosm other sister got so mad when she called and my mom could barely talk because of crying so hard, that she wanted to drive down and tell everyone her mind too. Everyone si tired of how everyeon treats us liek some motel and causing stress.My own chest stays tight and i cant even eat or sleep hardly..we shouldnt have to live like this. I know God wants us to help people, like homeless and hungry and family but...isnt there a line?


please i need strong prayer now..all i wanna do is cry and the frustrating part is iw ish my mom would kick him out like everyone tells us to do..but im afraid others are gonanhave to do it for her. Im scared of losing my mom to heart attack because of stress or some mental breakdown.

I am praying for you in your plight, vanillakay. I won't profess to know what you and your family should do in this situation, but in answer to your question I do think there is a line. Scripturally speaking, this verse comes to mind: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” 2 Thess. 3:10. From what I understand, this verse is Paul's response to people who may have been taking advantage of the Christian call to serve the poor and homeless. This verse does not speak into your cousin's ability to work or not work...it merely shows that Paul reached a line where he said "This is not okay." Hoping for God's will for you and your family. God bless!

Hey baby......some people dont understand limits.....and God does want you to help......the ones who
actually needs us.......not losers who have the ability to take care of themselves......
The only way to help this man......is to not help him.....get rid of him......God tells us we shouldnt cast pearls
before swine.....and I think this is the result of such.....he has used you.....the word is out....your home is
for freeloaders......time for mom to take out the trash.... and get your lives back.....God will take care....
Most people who get addicted to drugs must hit rock bottom for them to see the light.......as long as
you continue to allow this ...he will never quit.....if I was your mom....I would wait for them to leave for the
day and gather up their stuff ...........bag it and put it on the curb.....call the police if you have to......but the law
states....if their stuff is in your house they have the right to enter....and call it home.....change the locks...
its easy to do....all you need is a screwdriver......this is actually blocking your focus on God.......
and not doing his work.....now he has guns and knives in your house.....very dangerous......

Father God I come today to thankyou you for my sister vanillakay and her mom.....thank you for giving them the strength
to stand up to this situation....for giving them protection from harm......and removing the freeloaders from
their home.....for guiding them to victory against the enemy....for giving them peace.....I thankyou in Jesus,s loving name...
Amen.......

Baby girl you can pm me anytime.....im here for you young sister......love and peace......jo

Dear Father In Heaven

Oh what a mess Father and You know and understand fully what this family is having to deal with. Please place Your mighty angels of protection around this family and help the mother and the rest of the family with the stress and anxiety that this cousin is causing.

Please Father reveal Yourself to this cousin and give him an experience that would awaken him to You and Your love. Send angels to surround him and keep satan's evil influences away from him. Help him to realize that his family is just trying to help him get on his own two feet. Father please get him out of their house and into his own place, but we pray and want You to fight for his soul. Nothing is impossible for You and we ask that you intervene in this situation.

Give the family peace and assurance that You are in control of this situation and it will be taken care of soon. In Jesus Name

gain, thank you all soo much.

I do have some good news
i fully believe everyones prayer here and mybe my own has worked becuase that friend he dragged with him to stay with us a few nights? yesterday evening his friend kept baggering him to go to church with him, my jaw hit the floor when he tolds us he was going to church! (keep in mind this is the same kid who when i mentioned few weeks back that my mom and i wanted to start going to church again he just laughed and looked disgusted by the idea) im totally serious. He came back afterwards (thankfully his friend not with him) and was nicer, not so hateful. He said he was glad he went, he enjoyed it. he also told my mom he was giving up everything but smoking some weed here and there (I know i know he doesnt need that either but hey, baby steps) but was stopping the hard stuff and he might even go back and my mom layed down law, i heard her yelling from my room saying he had to find a place by the end of the month. he told her he knew and he knew he had to get his life togather and he was going to get serious about finding a place. My mom said he was totally different, even washed the few dishes!

I know it could easily be just one night thing, but still it's progress right??
mybe God is working on him. I started crying last night and just thanked God for a bit.Power of prayer really does work!

that's good! At least he has agreed to go to church. You should tell his friend to not let him wiggle his way out of going at the last minute. Also you gotta be strong!! Keep re-iterating to him that he has only until the end of October to find a job. After that he needs to find somewhere else to stay, because he is a big drain on you and your mom. And keep reminding him of his promise to give up most of his vices. Encourage him so he will find it easier. Keep praying for him, and maybe even sometimes pray WITH him. :)

Just make sure he sticks to his word. One can easily claim that they'll change, it's the action that needs to still be proven to you. Just saying so you won't get too disappointed if all it had been were empty words.

It sounded as though he lacked strong male presence in his life. He needs a strong male mentor in his life to guide him through his early passage of adulthood. It could mean the difference of being a productive adult in society or a permanent member of the criminal justice system.

I counseled these type of "emotional disturbed" boys (10-17) for a number of years. Many of them are starving for guidance & directions in an unfriendly world.

Just a short update. My cousin met a girl back in march and apparently there in love. He stayed with her and her grandmother for about a month and a half before she kicked them both out. they stayed with my aunt for two weeks and even us some then. Finally, after my cousin got arrested for driving while drinking, they found out he hadnt been paying on his fines 9that and he got scared and lied and told them he was his older brother, so eh got fined extra for impersonating someone) so they put him in jail for a few days. His gf then had to go stay with her ex-boyfriend for awhile. Then when eh got out he andher stayed with him for about a month. Well a few days ago he kicked them out (we still dunno why) and now there staying with my poor grandmother who has a heart condition and can barelyget up and get around herself. But my rude and selfish cousin had to come bawling and giving her sob story they had no where to go since my aunts husband wont let them stay there and my mom and I have had enough of him too. Bad enough he was put on us but to try to let this gfr stay on us and put stress on the family too??.(the girl has nowhere to go either, her mom is drug addict who doesnt care andher grandmother said it was her or her bf and apparently the girl said if her bf wasnt staying she wasnt either, so she kicked them both out)..hes got alot of nerve and im so furious im still shaking. We THOUGHT she was sweet but shes as coniving as he is. Anyways there first night there after my grandmother get up extra early to make them breakfast, he steals twenty dollars of her grocery money from her. And shes so tender hearted she just brushed it off and is STILL letting them stay.

Now the night before last, my cousins gf gets a call from her aunt , who apparently oversees the applications in that place says one is free and it's theres. (she had put in for a place for him and her three months ago) we were alll SO happy my mom and i started crying and literally dancing around. finally after almost two years of putting up with him he was going tomove in with his girl!. My aunt borrowed a car and took them to get all papers and whatever they needed. We thought they weremoving in this weeknend but now there saying its gonna be 2-3 weeks. My poor grandmother is in no shape to put up with them that much logner she barely handled the past two nights but she cant bear to see them wlak teh streets either. I dunno if the landlords need to clean the place before they move in or what but...needless to say i just ask for prayers that there apartment will be ready MUCH sooner than that. Because with the extra stress of his gf added to the mix were at our witts end
Is it wrong for us not to let them stay here to take the burden off my grandmother?..:(..im so confused
