Lord we pray for Michael, please redeem from the drug addiction and bless to obey you and live a life to glorify you. Also bless Jesussavesbro7, please heal from ocd and bless them both. Lord we agree with this prayer, bless micheal and jesussavesbro7. In Jesus Holy name, Amen!

praying for you both Dear lord please shine down on these two people. Please help them get their minds clear. Give them peace of mind and help them get on a path of great things so they may live life in peace.
Might i suggest that it might help if you all distract yourselves. Try doing things that are stress relieving like walking maybe join a gym or something. volunteer with a local church read your bible when your stressed and are feeling the urge to be angry or to do drugs or what ever bad behavior your trying to change. Aslo pray that the Lord delivers you from your transgressions. Pray everyday several times a day for God to help you resist the tempting habit you have. It will take time for sure as things do not change over night but with commitment things can change. Never give up on trying to make things better. I find the happier you are with your life the less stress you have the less chance you have of being bitter and swearing and cussing etc... maybe map out a plan like this month i am going to start working on finding a job I am happy with or this month I want to try to take a class then make a plan for 6 months then a year and try to finish the goals you set. some people just work better when they map things out or list them out and feel accomplishment from being able to cross them off the list..
I would seriously recommend reading the bible lots and praying lots... even go to a local church. maybe you can get some counsel from a pastor.

Re: hubby needs prayer to stay away from his addictions, and him and i deal with ocd
You're both still living in the van, right?
A strong suggestion:
-- Find out where the Welfare office is. Go there and ask for help. Because, frankly, if you two are still living in that van, they will give you the very basics -- a place to live, health insurance, and food stamps. And they will give you up to $300 a month. (Last decades prices -- don't know if it's been raised since, but I doubt it. Not a priority for politicians.) Now, understand, if you two happen to make $40 one month, that $300, turns into $260, so we're not talking much financial help, but not-much beats nothing. A place to live, food stamps to live on, AND health insurance will give you a leg up for now.
And after that...
-- Go to the church closest to you. If anyone is in it, ask to see the pastor/priest. (By now, a priest will do.) Tell that person what's going on and ask for help. If he/she doesn't help, leave, and go to next church. Repeat, until someone helps you.
I really feel terrible I couldn't find you guys a church to get help from. I know your chief complaint now is you and Michael are at each other's throats, but, yeah! Really? You could put Mr. Rogers (from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on PBS a couple of decades ago) and his wife in a van for as long as you two have been living in such small quarters, and even Mr. Rogers would lose his cool. God made the world this big because even two people who love each other could not survive for long in such cramp quarters.
You need to get back into semi-regular life and you need it NOW!

I will pray for you. I hope that your situation will turn around soon. I know waiting is hard, but we have to trust in God's timing and in His will. Its probably painful for you and your husband to stick it out, but the both of you can and will do it. And when it's over you'll look back and realize the two of you have grown stronger from that situation.

Re: hubby needs prayer to stay away from his addictions, and him and i deal with ocd
I'm praying for you and your situation. This sounds like it is a real struggle for your husband to overcome the feelings that he's having. The Bible talks a lot about blasphemy being the unforgivable sin (Luke 12:10). If you are able to seek the help of a priest or pastor regarding this matter, that might be a good way to approach this because your husband definitely needs to surrender himself. Prayer is the best way to help him in the meantime. I know I will be doing so for sure. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this right now. In the meantime, an article regarding this topic can be found at "Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" and the "Unforgivable Sin" | Focus on the Family.

Re: hubby needs prayer to stay away from his addictions, and him and i deal with ocd
as Christian I went through something simmilar for almost 3 years, it was very hard for me and my wife to dealt with it. Went to psychiatrist , and took different medication , OCD and Blasphemous thougthts its very hard to overcome . OCD is triggered by fear. Guilt, and fearing you committed the unpardonable sin was my main issue
But The Lord Jesus Christ healed me and delivered me back in 2014. Below is a link with my testimony.
