Hello -

There is no such thing as deserving or not deserving prayers. In my estimation, that is one of the things we are called to do for one another, is to send up prayers - always - and most especially when they are asked for. You surely have been through a lot of pain, and you have taken on a terribly painful role for yourself at the shelter. Is there a way that you can find some healing and support for yourself, so that you are not constantly drained of your emotional energy? Take care. I could not do what you are doing.
