Recently I have been a bit distressed. My job has taken a dive, my health has been anything but healthy and now my son’s car is not working right. My son’s car is old, like 25 years old, it has been an amazing car to say the least but every car has its limits. My son lives in Louisiana and I live in Texas so it is not like I can drive him to college or to work.

My son is such a wonderful kid. I just went to see him this weekend to take him his car manual along with a box food and snacks. I took a girlfriend of mine along with me because she was sweet enough to be concerned that I didn’t have to make the drive alone. We all had a wonderful time together.

During our visit I talked with him about his car. I am still trying to pay off a debt to the attorney general for child support that I got behind on for the few years he stayed with his dad, so my money is limited. When I think of all of the things I need to take care of financially I realize that a car payment for my son would not fit into my budget.

It is frustrating to me that his dad does not help out more but I don’t know his dad’s financial situation, nor do I care to know it. In the past I have gotten very angry at his dad because of the way he spends his money. I am trying hard not to go down that path this time.

It is tempting to lash out at an ex but is that what God would want me to do? I don’t think so. I think that God wants me to pray about this situation and ask Him to provide a working car for my son, then have faith that He will provide it.

Since you all are so lovely and I know that you are prayer warriors I ask that you keep both my son and I in your prayers. My son needs a car which can actually drive, (25 year old cars commonly don’t do that), I have several health issues which may require surgery and I also have financial needs regarding my car and home.

I know that God can provide all things but sometimes it takes the help of a generous person so I ask that you pray that God will lay it on someone’s heart to gift my sweet son a car that actually drives. Thanks!
