I've been struggling a lot with wanting to control my life and everything in it. At times, my life sounds like a succession of tragedies and that has been making me really scared. From losing my parents, facing sexual and psychological abuse as a child to move to a completely different country and learning to engage with the culture... it has been really tough. From not knowing how to deal with my emotions, I've hurt the people I care the most. I just want peace... and reconcilitation. And restoration. I know that all things are possible in Him. I want His ways, not mine.

I need prayers for the relationship I'm in. We're from different cultures - I'm from Brazil and he is from Czech Republic - and we have been struggling a lot with communication. I love him and I know he is the man God has prepared for me... it's just still tough navigating through cultures and finding a common ground. I've lost my parents and I'm living in Atlanta for the past two years... having him around me is the first time I feel home and that I belong somewhere again. Please pray for the lines of communication to be open and for the Lord to shine through our relationship!
Thank you very much!
God bless you richly!
