Dear Pastor,
My husband and I have been married for two years and we have a son together. I had two other kids a boy and a girl who are not his and to tell you the truth, he takes care of them as if they were his own. I don't know where my two other kids' father is, but I am in the USA and the kids are in Jamaica with my sister.
I am trying to get my stay here, so I can take my children here. I haven't seen them in eight years. I cry myself to sleep at nights when I know I cannot see them. I pray to God every day to see them. At times, I give up when I pray and pray and still there isn't any answer. Sometimes, I wonder if God has forgotten about me, which I know He hasn't.
Could you please pray for me while I pray for myself to be with my kids? Thank you, pastor and may God richly bless you always.

Dear S.R.,
There are some things a person should not do. For example, you left your children in Jamaica and went to the USA. You could have returned, but you made the decision to remain. You knew the children were in Jamaica and that you would not have received permanent residence in the United States overnight. There is a process that has to be followed and no prayer will change that. I understand that it is difficult for you to be separated from your kids for eight years, but you should have considered that you have to suffer the consequence for the decision you made. So don't blame God because you have not been able to see your children. God has nothing to do with that.
Now having said the above, let me hope that in the near future you will be able to be with your children. I could only pray that the Good Lord will keep you strong and that you would not do anything illegal in trying to get your children to join you in America.
Pastor
