Prayers for myself and my family to grow closer to God and allow Jesus his rightful place as Lord of our lives.

Hello, I'd like to share with you some background as to why I'm requesting this prayer.

I used to date G. for a few years, he was a good, kindhearted person. A baptized believer -- he was raised in church, and I know for a fact he knows OF Jesus.

In August, I finally decided to leave him after he wouldn't stop lying and cheating. Suddenly it was like he had a schizophrenic spirit on him, NEVER meaning anything he said, constantly double-minded & hateful. His conversations turned to filth and perversion and violence. I had had enough.

I am a paralegal. He is a prison guard. Less than 24 hours after I told God I'm finished with this wickedness & I erased G. out of my contacts, a family comes into my law office wanting to sue the prison. THE VERY NEXT DAY. Their son is having emergency brain surgery to stop the bleeding after a prison guard stabbed him 4 times in the face and eyes and neck. G. & another prison guard named T. are the 2 guards guilty of this attack on my client, M.A.

Now, I have to continue to think about G. This knocked the wind out of me. I burst into tears & I asked God WHY --- out of all the law firms in this area -- WHY did this case come to THIS law firm where I will be the one working on it? Why?

So I figured that God has given me an assignment. I think God has shown me this truth about G. not ONLY to show how psychotic he can be but to pray for him instead of judging him. I don't hate him -- and God knows that he can trust my heart to pray for him because God knows I have seen the good, kind G.

So anyway, God has turned this around for the good for M.A. -- I have befriended him -- I tell him he's "my adopted nephew". I brought him to Jesus -- and he was baptized last month. He also is SUCH a gifted artist that even though he only has a GED this law firm is representing him as a commercial artist, and he now has a Fine Arts Scholarship-- thanks to the lawyers in this law firm. They are so impressed with his artwork that they are promoting him at an Art Exhibit for Inmates next November called the 'Miles of Freedom Art Exhibit. What's more, this law firm represented him at his parole hearing, and he will be released in 6 months. Romans 8:28 the Lord promises He will turn ALL things around FOR OUR GOOD and according to His purpose. So, in a nutshell, a situation that almost killed him ended up getting him a scholarship and paroled to begin anew. God obviously had His hand in this from beginning until now and I think it's a beautiful story. God is so good.

In the meantime, G.'s life is a mess all the way around. He has an estranged adult daughter M. that he is terrible towards. It's like he has a hatred of all women. They need a miracle in their relationship. Additionally, by the grace of God, G. -- so far -- does not know that I or my law firm are behind this case since we have been dealing only with the legal dept. of the prison. What's more, my client M.A. has no idea, either. Each time I visit with him (almost daily) & help him stay close to Jesus I think to myself that I used to be in love with the man who almost killed him. IDK what either man would do if they found out that I've always known.

I've been fasting and praying for G.'s deliverance. Despite M.A., my client's recovery, G. stabbed him in his left eye and now he can barely see -- M.A. also has 2 brain aneurisms that are at least 2 ½ inches deep from them stabbing him with a ball point pen (per medical records).

The State Prosecutor has recommended in our favor that G. have criminal charges filed against him for aggravated assault and attempted murder. Well, so be it since M.A almost died. But I believe that if G. has a personal encounter with Jesus, it will prevent more victims like M.A. and M. and me -- AND what a great testimony G. can be of God's mercy to even the most wicked among us. It's a WIN/WIN. Peace be with you. Thanks for listening & I ask you to be in agreement with me regarding this matter.

Please pray for finances and food. Our taxes and bills are overwhelming. We have not been able to get back on our feet since covid. My daughter wants to go to college, so please pray this will be possible for her. She has good grades, she just needs the financial support. I pray for everyone to have a peaceful happy life!
