Dear God,

Thank you for all good you have done for me and my fiancé - Daniel (My first, future and forever husband)

I remember seeing how he was telling me how my family use me and yesterday it was confirmed. How I'm only here to clean up after the rest of my family while they are allowed to go out to posh restaurants, dates and holidays.

Yet if I wanted to do any of that all my family would have a go at me and to make me do all the housework. Whoever I have explained this to realise it's much more bad than what I think it is. It's awful as there is a constant negative atmosphere and yet nobody works as a team.

2 family members had wanted to keep all the family together but I didn't want to stay here. As me and another family member get treated differently as to be used for the housework.

I'm constantly walking on eggshells here and when I'm at work, college (When I used to go) and being with Daniel I felt safe. Even though I just want to constantly be at peace in my life and to heal from things they have never apologize for.

I'm not allowed to just go out for food with any of my friends as nobody else will do the housework and they all fall apart. Get angry as there is no washing or their bedroom is a mess. Yet they expect me to do all of this and not allowed to be truly happy.

Whenever anyone left the country to go on holiday I felt relieved as didn't feel burdened with everyone else's housework. To just enjoy life the way I wanted to and not need to be scared or watching my back.

If I'm genuinely happy with only pure, sincere happiness with a big smile on my face. Everyone will literally have something to be negative at to the point I'm in floods of tears and weak to stand up.

I wanted to leave home 4 years ago and be with Daniel as to get out of this environment. Before it really emotionally destroyed me as a person as then can still salvage the rest of my life. As he kept telling me "Don't worry I'll get us a place and you can stay with me. We will spend the rest of our lives together happily in love. You will wake up to me every morning and to enjoy life. "

As Daniel had thought at the start of our relationship that my family just won't allow me to date. Then I explained to him how they just don't want me to date as they want me doing the housework. As time went on he started to understand and to see how bad it is.

When being at school I was also treated like this as to clean up after everyone and get spoken to like nothing. While my cousins were allowed to go out with friends and go on school trips. If I was to ask why were they were allowed and not me would get told off to the point I'm upset.

Even when being happily in love with Daniel early days into our relationship. My family found out and all started to give me a hard time. Putting pressure on me, watching me as I walk home from college and taking my phone calls. As I couldn't take my phone calls in the house after they found out about Daniel.

When I had a lovely day at college would get spoken to like I'm a villain and shouted at even though I helped. Get told how I've been behaving suspiciously and literally everyone turned against me to the point I was shaking and not able to eat as much.

I convinced myself it would change but it never did and couldn't talk to the rest of my family. They just want me to stay in the house to clean up and have no voice.

I always find the end of May and start of June extremely difficult because of this. First I thought all positive hoping to see Daniel and take the risk to get out of my hometown. Spend time with him as he wanted to help me have a break from the housework.

I was willing to take that risk and also been helping me to set up some meeting. As of course I always get told to do the housework and it's not right for me to get treated like this. As of course it made him sad too and I wanted to get better so we can be truly happy.

Instead of that happening things fell apart due to circumstances beyond my control. He had been put in no position but to let me go and not see me outside of college. Or for his family to speak to my family as not allow me doing as much housework.

Either way whatever the choice had been I would of been in pain. As it would fall back on me as everyone else expects me to clean up after them.

Then had to go undercover and grateful for having spirit Ministries Prayer request and my volunteering. They are really God sends for me and to help me to cultivate me as a person and in life. Know there is a life beyond housework and had to go through hardships and obstacles just to do that.

Of course I understand how Daniel's family had a reason for it as not allow him to do anything silly and rash due to his mental wellness. While I didn't have a good enough reason to just break free from the housework.

Mum eventually came round as Daniel spoken to her and was only being an over protective mum. Even though it was easier for Daniel to explain than me. If I was to explain anything to the rest of my family they wouldn't listen or hear me.

Of course I'm grateful for the person who is speaking on my behalf to do this. I just don't understand why my own family wouldn't listen to me. Yet I live there and do their housework.

I'm fed up of constantly cleaning and walking on eggshells. Even get told how it isn't my fault I can't drive as got frustrated but yet there is always housework for me to do. As it's me who has to constantly clean up after everyone and not allowed to have a voice.

Got told how I should marry someone of my own religion and caste as to keep the community happy. Along with me still being here to clean up which isn't the life I wanted and been trying to say that for the last 4 years.

Since I didn't have a good role model for a man as would always get told to do housework. Get sworn at, bullied and pushed out all the time.

I kept saying "I just want a good man who will be on my side throughout everything. To not use me for cleaning as he will help but for us to share life together. To be strong and able to defend me as I can't defend myself. To enjoy life together."

Then God sent me Daniel and I feel so safe with him. Like I'm truly at home where nothing else in the world matters and to have that I've always longed for in my life. Love, security, safety and peace.

Nobody else wants me to have this as they want me to clean up after everyone. Even when guests, visitors and family members come over, I would always get asked to clean up and get pushed out.

I tried alot of ways to make things better for me and to take control of my life but get held back. As of the housework and have to be there to clean up after everyone else. While they are able to get jobs and do things in life.

Once again I convince myself that things would change but they never did. Nobody else even cleans up at all and get spoken to like I'm always the villain.

While the rest of the family and people in my age group are doing things to live life. I'm still stuck and waiting for there to be a change so I can just be truly happy and enjoy life.

Even when I was revising at school wouldn't get left alone as get told to do the housework. Yet my cousin's were allowed to and it's still like that now. Luckily when I was at college would be able to revise there as get time to be left alone.

Once again I convince myself that things would change and for everyone to be treated equally. Sadly that isn't the case here as I don't get heard and just fed up of being on edge with everything.

Also I'm really sad how I've had to miss out on doing things and just being happy. Not in a way of causing problems to the general public but just to be happy in life.

- Able to just eat out with my Daniel

- Enjoy life

- Go on days out

- Celebrate my birthdays

Just wanted to do this and other things in life not having to be worried about cleaning up.

It's like the older everyone gets the more obligated I have to clean up after everyone. Be stuck here and I don't want to be living on eggshells.

What is helping me through this is praying to God as he knows I'm telling the truth. Knowing that I will be out of here one day as to settle down with Daniel and be married to him.

That's the hope that I hold onto and to pray that this never happens again. I want to have my forever home with the man who had been there for me at my lowest. My first, future and forever husband who I can't wait to see his handsome face smiling and laughing when I wake up. As he is happy and truly blessed to have me in his life.

I know I have to wait but can't wait for this day to arrive soon.

Prayer For Marriage Protection

I know that Daniel and I aren't married yet but would like to have a strong foundation with God. As to know our love will stand the test of time and to be protected from people outside of our relationship and future marriage.

Since people started drama and eventually God started to speak to me how I have to stop talking to people who enjoy drama. Make time for him to be in prayer and praying for my now fiancé - Daniel everyday over the last 4 years.

I really do want Daniel and I to be married in peace and truly happy together. Got to ask God to protect our beautiful blessings like our relationship, new home together, our future marriage and everything what will be in store for us.

Remember how a family member would always tell me to pray to God and seeing how our hearts connected in love and prayers. Like how I found all of these prayers to speak to God and just softened my heart over the years.

Please protect mine and Daniel's future marriage as to keep us together until death do us apart.

Dear God,

Thank You for your protection over our marriage. We continue to declare Your victories and miracles in our marriage. We ask for discernment so that we may know how to protect and intercede for each other. Especially in times of uncertainty and confusion, we pray for Your wisdom and strategy to help us persevere and keep our hope in You.

Let our marriage be interviewed with Your truth and love so that no weapon formed against our marriage can prosper. We declare our love for You and receive Your promises over our marriage.

Prayers for Paolo, to trust in God again and be closer to him. Prayers that he becomes faithful.

As a kid he believed but because of bad experiences in church he lost the faith. May he find faith again and grow in faith day after day

In Jesus's name
