Praying for Niece

I would like to ask for prayers for my niece, her name is Amanda. Amanda is 24, last year she lost her common-law partner who is presumed drowned.  They have a toddler who is two now.

Amanda was seven when her father (my brother) died. My brother's death was deemed suicide.  Her mother was not a part of her and her sisters' lives due to her drug and alcohol use.  While living with her mom briefly, she was sexually abused by her maternal grandfather.

Amanda has not been able to cope with her partner's death and has been drinking more frequently.  At the least, she is home with her son maybe two to three days a week.  Please pray for her and her son.

My Lord, How Long?

Hello, my girlfriends and also my sisters in Christ. I am a 52 yr. old woman who has been laid off since July 9, 2010 after 30 yrs. After the layoff, I searched for jobs, got interviews, took classes went on unemployement, took more classes and now I'm on welfare.

I know that God is in control and that all things will work together for my good.  He is working on our relationship and so am I. Since my layoff, I've been closer to the Lord than ever and realized that it's time to be still and know that He is God, the same yesterday, today and forever more.  He closed the door and He will open the door again! The question is MY LORD HOW LONG? My sons finished college, praise God, got good jobs; but I did not expect them to support me!!!!!! I'm tired and feel sooooooo lost at times even though I know that I'm in God's hands! LORD WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY DID YOU CLOSE THE DOOR TO SOMETHING I'VE WORKED AT FOR 30 yrs, it's all I know and I was good at it? I'm mad at you, Lord, and know it's wrong; but, I get mad at you even though I know you got this.

Please pray, my sisters, for a job, restoration of my finances; because they're all gone!!!!! Blessings on my sons and RESURRECTION; because, I feel like I'm buried under and can't get out!!!!!
