Won't go in to too much detail but myself and my very vulnerable family are going to be evicted from the home we have rented for years in a couple of months time. We have been good tenants but landlord just wants property back now. We live in London, house prices are ridiculous. We are basically all being forced into separate, unsuitable accommodation. Please pray for us, that a miracle may very soon happen for us so that we can find a cheaper, suitable home especially for my young grandchild. Thank you.

Good linfk Maw. Who are we to decide what is from God or from somewhere else. Bit insensitive Speldnan

This is every tenant's worst nightmare. Yes I will include all your intentions in my daily prayers and trust that there will be a good outcome for you. God bless.

Try the local YMCA they may be able to help. I do hope everyone ‘s thoughts and prayers do the trick for you all.

Thinking of you and including you all in my prayers.

My prayers go with all the others too.

Ask everyone and anyone you can think of for help; someone somewhere will know the right person who can help.

I believe firmly in miracles, but I also believe that sometimes they occur because we bump into the person who can help us.

A neighbour of mine found Shelter was helpful.
I am praying that all will be well for you too.

Wondergran,

There is something to be said about strength in numbers and for that reason, I am a big believer in the power of collective prayer.

The probability is high therefore, that everything will turn out OK because so many of us here will be praying hard for you tonight!

Do let us know what happens.....Good luck and God bless!

I am so sorry for you all and can't begin to imagine what torment you are going through just now. I hope you manage to get some help from CAB or local charities as others have suggested, and succeed in finding somewhere for you all to live as a family once more. My thoughts are with you, please do let us all know how you get on. Take care xx

A very good friend suggested a prayer when I needed help.
It is very simple, and the result was absolutely miraculous.
Just say 'Jesus, I put my trust in You'

auntbett Wed 04-Apr-18 13:54:00

I've sent more than one up - marked urgent!

nanaK54 Wed 04-Apr-18 13:57:01

Have prayed for you and your family wondergran

Luckygirl Wed 04-Apr-18 14:11:22

I am sending you kind thoughts, and endorse the advice to go to local housing, Shelter and to CAB. Good luck.

Jalima1108 Wed 04-Apr-18 14:20:58

Strangely enough, I do believe in the power of prayer although I am not that religious, because I am sure it worked for me many years ago.

So I will pray or at least think of you and hope that you get better news about re-housing very soon.
In the meantime, as others suggest, go to CAB, the LA, whoever can help. Can you ask your landlord to give you a letter of recommendation too, saying that you have been good tenants but other circumstances are forcing him into evicting you.

Prayer said and wishing you and your family peace of mind ???

Thank you to everyone who offered kind words, support and prayers. Things remain very difficult for my family. Dear grandson''s mental health is deteriorating daily and his behaviour is dire due to him feeling so insecure. We are having to rehome our beloved cat as we won't find accommodation which will allow pets. I have been slowly introducing her to her new home but she hates the cat that already lives there and I have never seen her so unhappy. We went after an affordable flat, spent a fortune on fees only to find out today that we didn't get it. So life feels pretty awful right now. Your continued prayers and support would be very much appreciated.
