Submit a Prayer Request

Jerome Penn Sr

I lift up Jerome Penn Sr., Mark Penn, Darryl Penn, Tumeka Penn, Jerome Penn Jr., Jerale Penn, Shelton, and Crystal Penn in prayer, asking for God’s grace to save them from sin and guide them toward salvation. I pray for divine protection against the enemy’s plans and for the truth to come to light. May their hearts be shielded from manipulation and negativity as they face their personal challenges. I hope for a transformation in each heart and mind, leading them to renounce any extramarital pursuits and to feel true conviction instead. If it is God’s will, may they seek professional help to grow and establish healthy boundaries. I pray that everyone desires a meaningful marriage with the right partner, rather than simply cohabitating. Cover them with the blood of Jesus and guide their hearts away from evil influences. May they draw closer to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Teach them the power of prayer, leading them to seek God for healing, financial security, and a renewed passion for reading the Bible.

I earnestly seek a solution to this issue throughout my life. I yearn to overcome my clinginess. My fear is that my attachment to others holds me back from advocating for myself and making the best choices for my well-being. I am in need of guidance as I turn to God and Jesus in prayer. I desire transformation and deliverance to discover God's purpose for my life. I am inviting the Holy Spirit to be an integral part of my journey. I seek assistance in my relationship with my older boyfriend, especially after becoming financially reliant on him and his home. I strive to lessen my clinginess towards everyone. My struggle to find a job that aligns with me has deepened my dependence, and I've accepted support from him without fully knowing him, leading to uncomfortable situations. Additionally, I've faced numerous conflicts at home with my sister and mother, stemming from their unreasonable expectations and challenges in sharing household responsibilities. I want to break free from this clinginess that prevents me from even taking a moment for myself. I aim to stop prioritizing anyone in my life above God—His goals, plans, dreams, talents, and the potential He has for me. I wish to structure my day more effectively, allowing time for self-care like showering, reading the Bible, and nurturing my well-being. My desire is to grow and improve, striving for mental, emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual, and social health. Above all, I want to distance myself from manipulative, toxic, or unhealed individuals in my life.

I truly need assistance. I've been living with my significantly older boyfriend, Jerome, who has financially supported and housed me for several years. Throughout this time, he has manipulated and disrespected me, often pressuring me to engage in behaviors that didn't feel right. In the process, I crossed some boundaries. Since we met, I've worked hard to establish healthy boundaries, but I've struggled with the need to chase after him to remain in his life and continue receiving his support. I realize I’ve invested too much in him without receiving the same in return. Initially, I intended to seek his financial help and shelter temporarily, but due to conflicts and disrespect from my sister and mom while I was living with them, my unstable income, my mental health issues, and various mistakes at work, I ended up staying with him for years. Our relationship turned toxic; we both mistreated each other in different ways. He has apologized whenever I've confronted him about his behavior and my reactions. Jerome is making an effort to listen and wants me to help him learn how to be a better partner. I've been encouraging him to read the Bible while I try to do the same. To assist him further, I’ve made notes around our home, suggesting ways he can surprise me with flowers, initiate serious discussions, and address issues between us. What I really need is guidance for both myself and our relationship. I'm praying that we can get more rest, find healthy ways to work on ourselves individually, and seek help to cultivate a healthier and happier relationship. I recently apologized for interrupting our sleep for a serious conversation, acknowledging my part in the conflicts. We’ve been considering both individual and couples counseling, and I'm hopeful that he will commit to attending sessions in the morning as he mentioned he would. We’ve even talked about going to church together.

So I am certain that I am in a position that nobody can understand, and i have been in this position for over 15 years. For the past almost eight years, I've been trying unbelievably hard to work through this crazy court ordered program implemented by the United states probation department (there were also a few mistakes made by staff members in “the system”, which resulted in things dragging out even longer).

During these past few years, I was able to: Graduate Community College Magna cumlaude (And as a result, was able to transfer into what I am told is the second most applied to College in the United States, where i am also doing well, grade-wise); learned American Sign Language; learned Chinese, earned a black belt in taekwondo; earned my log book toward my private pilots license, wrote a book, etc. I have been told by numerous people in my community that I worked my butt off to set up over the past several years, that I am definitely a “comeback kid”. Unfortunately, the US probation department and the US attorneys on the case refuse to acknowledge any of this; since my attorney that my family hired for me to attempt to end probation early just told me two days ago that the courts denied our request (for the second time, despite all my probation officers applauding me in my performance over this entire period of time).

I just attended a (one of many) Bible study two weeks ago, where the whole message of the lesson is that, as a believer, God does not care what sin I committed, once it is confessed; as the blood of Jesus has wiped it out; And that I am now “the righteousness of God in Christ”; and that any kind of accusation on a believer is not from God, but is of the enemy. So now, once again The US probation department/US attorneys on my case are stepping in once again to slap me down and tell me that, I am nothing more than a piece of crap who deserves no consideration/i.e. NOT “the righteousness of God in Christ”; and try to make my probation last another two years and three months (this is the second time this has happened, over the past four years). God needs to make up his mind here. I need God to prove to me That As a child of Jesus/God, I DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS! My family and I have been shelling out $90.00 a month for The probation department to monitor my computer Internet usage, and i have proven over the past 7 1/2 years that this is unnecessary-- this is nothing more than a racket. They also have been making me do polygraph tests (once each year, now), where the person running the polygraph test behaves in a very nasty way Being very accusatory and extremely demeaning/degrading. So this time around I'm tired of it. I'm trying to put my foot down this time and say “enough is enough”. This is why I'm putting out these prayer requests, so it is on you guys to pray for this. I am supposed to be one of a community of christians, and i am tired of being treated like i am subhuman. This needs to stop!

Dear friends, I come before you with a humble heart, asking for your prayers. This year, I am seeking divine intervention to settle all my debts and begin creating a path towards financial stability and wealth. I ask for wisdom and guidance in using the money I receive wisely — to build an emergency fund, save for the future, and set aside for travel and enriching experiences. I pray that I may avoid unnecessary spending and focus on investments that bring true joy and peace. I trust in God's timing and His provision, and I am grateful for your support in this journey. Amen.
