I am grateful to God for my ability to walk independently. I'm seeking His healing for the difficult situation I’ve found myself in with an older man named Jerome. I often wish I could rewind to 2019 and choose not to have shared my contact information with him when I sought his assistance. I’ve expressed my regret about needing his help and how our meeting was a mistake; I realize now how unwise that was. It was complicated to visit a man’s home when I didn’t know him well enough to navigate the confusion and harshness I was experiencing with my sister. My mother’s involvement adds to the complications, even though she sometimes tries to bring peace among us. In those moments, I felt I had nowhere safe to turn. A few years ago, I stayed in a shelter that was poorly managed, and my struggles with major depressive disorder and anxiety have compounded since then. I lacked a stable income and made mistakes at my jobs, wishing I had a supportive family member or a non-toxic friend who would have offered me shelter while I focused on my healing—mentally, spiritually, financially, emotionally, and physically. Being involved with an alluring, ungodly, and unloving much older man, who later developed feelings for me, has been detrimental. Living with my sister and mother has also been unhealthy, as we have a strained relationship. Despite these challenges, I am committed to praying and reading the Bible while managing my disability, exploring potential military benefits, and attending medical appointments. I am in therapy, receiving guidance for my life, and I sincerely believe that God and Jesus will help me improve. I trust that my life will get better. I will heal and discover God’s plan for becoming self-sufficient while connecting with people who will be true friends and family. I am ready to forgive anyone who has hurt me and move forward. I will secure reliable transportation and strive to lead a long, healthy, blessed, and prosperous life by following God’s guidance. In the end, I hope to hear that my journey has been well done.

Dear God,

Thank you for everything that you are doing for me and I'm grateful for everything everyday.

I pray that you keep me safe, from a guy called Daniel Barrett. The police are after him, I don't know whether he is currently under investigation and not have anyone to speak to about this.

I feel upset how the police couldn't have told me about him, as he was living down the road from me. He is also paying for my engagement ring but I'm a bit worried about whether he is going to hurt me.

Also, I don't want to lose everything that I've been working towards.

I wish to have a friend, who could be there and knew updates about Daniel. Only so I'm safe, along with wanting a genuine friendship. Soon, my mum and I will be moving out.

I know that she has worked hard for this, I don't want to ruin everything and that's why I'm turning to you for guidance.

I got upset yesterday, as I know that my mum is only being there for me and helps me out a lot. A trusted person she knows, mentioned about the type of things Daniel had done. So she had wanted me to be careful and not be at harm. Since I'm her only child and this is something that does make me worried.

I pray that God guides me on how to exit this relationship, if it can even be called that. I've turned to Jerome for emotional and financial support, but I realize I need to stop. He longs to hug me, which I appreciate in a sincere, respectful way. However, he seems to want to treat me like his wife and expects certain things from me in return for his financial help. He becomes upset because he can't have the kind of relationship he desires with me. I need healing—emotionally, as well as with my bladder and diabetes. I also need to find a way to support myself financially, even though I have no car and I'm actively searching for resources.

Jerome Penn Sr

I'm praying for salvation for Jerome Penn Sr. God would show him how to love others and treat everyone right. He will stop trying to have physical encounters outside of marriage. I pray for conviction over his heart. God would wash him in the blood of Jesus.

I am praying for myself because I'm going through a tough time. Right now, I’m staying with Jerome, an older man who kissed me. I had to remind him that he should ask for my consent before kissing me to ensure that I’m okay with it. I realize it’s best for me to leave his life. I’m hoping that a woman I’ve been in touch with will still let me stay with her, as she has kindly offered to accept my mail at her place, even if just temporarily. In contrast, Jerome is unwilling to let my mail come to his home, even after several months together. It's become a struggle for me to get to another city, 37 minutes away, just to retrieve my mail from my mom and sister's apartment. Although Jerome says he loves me, I’ve expressed to him that if that were true, he would be more supportive and help with simple, reasonable things. I believe that a man who truly loves a woman would allow her mail to come to his home based on how he feels about her. I need guidance, answers, and a clear direction from God regarding my situation and where to go next.
