Dear Lord,

I am going through a really rough time. My teenage son isn't focused at school and he doesn't seem to understand my guidance as a mother.

I am in a multicultural marriage. I have tried to teach my kids to pray and follow Jesus, while respecting my husband's religion. Out of desperation, he had pushed him to follow Islam to straighten him. That makes me sad, angry and it feels like I am losing my son. I am the one I'm charge of upbringing, homework, soccer practice and I hit rock bottom when nothing that I say matters. My husband took charge (his way) and I feel EMPTY INSIDE.

I want my son to love Jesus. I want my son to follow my faith and see that I want nothing but the best for him.

Finances ARE SUPER TIGHT right now. I am overwhelmed and over stretched in all directions to bring more money and be patient and loving at the same time.

I feel lost and I just don't know what to do. I am falling out of love with my husband. Falling out of love with my life and hanging on a thin rope to be the best I need for my children.

God, please GUIDE ME. GIVE ME WISDOM. REMOVE WHAT IT ISNT FOR ME AND ENLIGHTEN ME WITH WHAT I MUST PURSUE.
