I could cry for my son, every time he gets on his feet and seems settled the rug just gets pulled out from under him.

He has been in his present rented house since the start of lockdown, so about three years. With the owners permission he has done a lot to it. Now the owner wants to upgrade it so he can get more cash in rent and Gareth has to move out.

He needs a place suitable to bring his little girl and also the new baby when she is old enough so it needs to have two bedrooms and a bedsit would be no use.

He has been suffering with back pain and need time off work - he is a truck driver. He just got himself straight again financially and now this. He is 45 and I so want to see him settled and in a good place, but it's like he is cursed or something.

We became Christians just after he was born but even though he was brought up in a christian home he has not yet accepted Jesus.

Please seek God's guidance and pray for my son. I get so upset about him.

So sorry Pearl,
I will pray for Gareth, first and foremost for God to call him unto Jesus and that he would have eyes to see and ears to hear. And of course, that he finds a suitable place for him and his family. This world is so greedy and unfair.

Thank you Nancy. I know God hears my prayers - and yours - but it feels like he doesn't do anything, but I know that isn't true.

I believe God helps unbelievers as well as believers. He knows that some will come to Christ later in life and he takes care of them until that time.

It's so hard when in the midst of the storms :( He does hear our prayers, we'd be hopeless without prayer, IMHO.
