Taline felt stuck. Though married with children, the economic crisis in Lebanon meant her family couldn’t afford a house of their own, so were forced to live with her parents and unmarried brothers. Feeling robbed of her independence, and with her emotions and relationships worsening, Taline turned to SAT-7 on social media.

“Our living situation is negatively affecting the upbringing of my children and my relationship with my husband,” Taline shared. “He is not ready to find another house to move to because of the financial situation. We don’t get along any more and I’ve even thought about divorce.

“I don’t know what to do. I am not happy,” Taline confided. “I’m always angry and in a state of despair and depression.”

The team from the SAT-7 Family page on Facebook got in touch with Taline and told her about God’s good plans for her and her family. They prayed that God would make a way for her to have a house of her own.

Taline felt so supported by their response that she posted on the Facebook page encouraging other viewers to get in touch. She said she had gained the strength to overcome her problems.

SAT-7’s social media pages are providing a safe haven, particularly for Arab women, to freely share their opinions and burdens, and receive private counselling and support. 

Pray

• This week, let’s pray for “the scrollers” – those who scroll through and engage with SAT-7 on social media – that Jesus would stop them in their tracks.
