I have a friend who is need of prayers right now. Her husband took her off of any of his money accounts. She does not have a job because she has bad health. She is not going to die right away just bad health. Because he has taken her off all his accounts she does not have toilet paper in her home or soap for clothes and food is running scarce. He goes and buys his lunch and dinners and breakfasts and says too bad for her. She has no one to turn to. He makes too much for her for welfare. She needs his health Insurance. She has no family to turn to. I cannot help her. So I was hoping that if people would prayer for her to have good health so she could go and find a job that God would help her. She has prayed herself. I thought more people praying God would know she really needs help. She makes things and tries to sell them and not doing to great. Her hubby made it so she can't do Ebay. She is trying her hardest. Thank you!

And her only friends only idea of helping is begging people to pray for her? Poor woman.

Prayers r fine but long gone are the days of water into wine. Its not gonna put food on the table. This guy sounds like a real gem. Next time he comes thru the door with a meal and sits down to eat it, tell her to put a fork thru his hand and take it!This is absolutely pitiful that she gives him all that power. It don't seem like things could be any worse, so she should walk out of there b4 he takes what little self esteem it seems she has left. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but come on. insurance? Every state has public assistance, food stamps, medical insurance, etc... She has to take some action, nothing is gonna fall in her lap all by itself. Things can only get better for her if she loses the dead weight.

Her husband is abusing and controlling her. She needs to know there is a way out. She cannot stay in that environment. She will end up a puppet (if she is not already) to that man. She needs practical help. A refuge if he is abusive and threatening. There are plenty of agencies out there to help her. The Salvation Army are very good. She does need some legal advice. I am sure there are legal aid agencies out there as well. Perhaps you could take her to a lawyer to start with. She needs your help to get away from him but you need to quickly do some research as to what is available for her. Yes, prayer will help obviously, but she cannot become immobilised - she and you need to act now!

I really hope things work out well for your friend, I will keep her in her thoughts. She really needs an attorney. Most communities have some kind of legal services for people who can't afford it, look in the yellow pages, sometimes it's called Legal Aid, but is differnt things in different areas. Some attorneys donate their time for free to people. Maybe you can start calling around to different places for your friend. Her husband is required to pay some sort of alimony and assistance to her, and I'm pretty sure he also will have to provide health insurance until a divorce is finalized, and possibley even afterwards.

I think it's great that you put that on here and I will pray for her. Since she's been praying I'm assuming that she is a Christian. Tell her too keep up with the prayers and spend a lot of time in God's word. God will answer prayers in his time, nothing is too difficult for him. God Bless you and your friend.

When a friend of yours is in this situation...It is time for u to react not ask for a prayer but take it into yourself to find her some help like NOW! Go door to door and see if anyone can help her get food. Show her to a soup kitchen. Get a hold of the government and get her some kind of aid. Cook her some dinner! Take her in your car to her doctors appointments. U do not need a lot of money yourself to give her some assistance.



It is in your hands to lend her the help she needs!!! Take care of your friend!

A sad story - but your friend really needs to LEAVE her husband NOW. Sounds like an abusive situation. I know it is VERY HARD to leave him, but you can help her out, possibly. Can she stay with you for a while? She needs to get out of that kind of situation. Who is to say that if the husband gets really mad, he won't hit her, or worse?



There are plenty of organizations out there to help this woman. She should NOT stay with an abusive husband just for health insurance (or any other reason).



Please call her now and tell her you will help her make the hardest and the best decision of her life.

She is in a bad situation. I will pray for her. She does probably need to leave her husband if he is starving her. God has a plan for her life and it may end in a sad way or her life may turn around and she get healthy and get a well paying job. Either way, she needs to trust God and do what she can. You do need to help her in her situation in her marrige. If her husband is starving her it isn't right to just leave her their to suffer with him. Do what you can to help her and I'll keep both of you in prayer.

Praying is not going to help! You need to help her actively. Dont just sit there and wait for god to do something. What sort of a friend are you, anyway?

always happy to pray for others, but please follow the advice of those who have urged you to get help from a local or state agency. this kind of treatment is illegal and cruel. May the Lord bless and keep both you and your friend.
i want to talk
2006-05-29 00:06:34 UTC
I have to pray for anyone you ask for, but i hope you do something else, like helping her with her children, cleaning her house,maybe giving her some money or collecting it from old friends, thank god something like happened to me and my family, i know praying works.

and thank you for your confidence.

Has she contacted Social Services or the Salvation Army, anything, something?

Tell her to call the state social services so she can get set up with medicaid. It will pay her medical bills. She can't work so she should be set up with social security disability checks.

It's nice that you want to help your friend and asking for prayer because prayer can make the difference, but have u prayed for her yourself or tried to go somewhere in your city to see if there is chariable help for her? I don't mind praying for her because Lord knows he is the only one that can help her, but you as her friend need to have some faith in for her as well. I would say to her that God hears your prayers and just pray with her and then go out with her and try to find some organization that will help her temporary. As for her husband, he's wrong will not go unpunished. It looks like it's looking like he will, but it won't. Before long he will need his wife more than she will need him. She just needs to look to God for strength, more faith, and to strengthen her salvation if she's saved. The whole world right now is going through a trial and tribulation adn to so many it seems God has abondoned them, but he's right there looking to see who will call out to him in true, sincerely prayer and lift him up within their suffering. We are so quick to look to God in giving us, but do we truly try to give back to him in the form of some kind of praise. I have been going through with terrible female pains and sickness and yes at one time I was like shouting out a pity party, but then a good friend came to me and said that in the mist of all that you are going through u need to life up Jesus. Thank him for all that he has done for you and not look in what you are in right now. He woke her up this morning, able to breathe, able to walk and talk. Able to think clearly and rationally. She's able to be alive and well, even if it seems like she's in hell. There are so many out there that are homeless and dying because they have absolutely NOTHING, but some have more faith that the Lord will help them through it all that its worth it just to go on another day. We just need to say Lord I thank u for being alive and able to see another day. Even if she's hurting in her body and there doesn't seem to be any money. Hun be a true friend and pray and interceed for her everyday. Try to do what you can even it doesn't seem like its only just a little. Trust me she will be blessed and you will too. God bless and will be praying that it all turns around.
