I recently got engaged to a guy outside of my culture. My parents and siblings are not happy, but did give their blessings before we got engaged. I waited 2 years for their acceptance, but they are still unhappy behind closed doors. I pray they truly accept him into the family with open and loving arms. I pray they ignore what others are saying in our community and see that I am happy. I pray the gossip about me and my fiancé stops. I pray they stop making me feel like a horrible person for choosing a spouse they are not happy with just because he isn't from the same culture. I pray they see Gods hand in my relationship with my soon to be husband. I pray they come around and love him like I do. I pray things start to get better between us and my family. It is becoming more and more tough behind closed doors with my family, I am becoming more depressed as the days go by. Please Lord hear my prayers. I also pray for a happy, blessed, loving, Christ filled marriage. I pray for protection and guidance in life with my spouse.
I also would like to pray to pass my 2 pharmacy board exams (NAPLEX and MPJE) these exams are approaching and is the final step for me to get a job. I am in desperate need for a job at this point to financially take care of myself as my family no longer supports me due to their anger towards my decision that they gave their blessings to. Please pray for passing scores. I am struggling with everything going on at home and financially and feel alone. I need you Lord, please be with me.
