Hi,

If you wouldn't mind say a quick prayer for me- I am having a problem. I am currently 41 years old and my parents are still trying to run my life, they won't let me make my own decisions, they even forced me to move into my current apartment building when I did not want to, they are saying they will cut off my health insurance unless I do what they say and I need that for medication that I am on. I even want to move out of my current apartment and they will not allow that either. It is ridiculous what they are doing, I need a miracle that this stops. Thank you!

-Dave

Dave, thanks for sharing.
I have prayed for you.

May I ask you a few questions?

Are you physically able to work and provide for you own needs?
You say you are 41, is this the first time you have lived on your own?
If you had no family or other means of support, if you were a solitary individual, how would your life be different?
And finally, you're in a christian forum, so I presume you believe in God. What are your beliefs about God, about Jesus, and in what ways do those beliefs affect your reality?
