Jesus is faithful and true.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Matthew 21:21
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
I can not judge your situation. But I can tell you to have faith and do not DOUBT GOD.
Mark 11:22
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Have patience.

In your patience possess ye your souls.
Romans 8:25
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
2 Corinthians 6:4
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
*2 Thessalonians 1:4
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

Where is your faith...Cry out to the Lord, and most of all Believe that God will provide.
Through our trials God strengthens us. God hears your prayers. I am believe this with all my heart. Why? because i have been down this road. When i thought that all was lost and no hope of anything. God restored all. Have faith believe in His amazing grace. As God has commanded me to pray... I want you to know that my prayers are with you.. For comfort read Luke 12: 22-34. It talks about worry and what God has to say.

I think we take the ASK AND THEY SHALL RECEIVE literally and maybe we should ask our self how can we help ourselves, and what can we do for JESUS and he will reward us accordingly and bear in mind that there are worse situations out there that not everyone about to loose everything has the luxury of posting it on the net for advice. There really is worse situations like maybe you never had fingers to type with or that you were blind or mental, BE GRATEFUL FOR THE SMALL THINGS YOU HAVE AND YOU WILL ATTRACT POSITIVE ENERGY AND GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN..

I have walked thru fire, flood and death. God has given me beauty for ashes....... Bad things happen to good people too.
i am a victor not a victem. The day i quit fighting and believing and trusting God is when they throw the dirt over me. Dwell on the good and not the bad. I practice an attitude of gratitude. I stay in prayer. go to church and try to obtain wisdom and practical choices.
Dave Ramsey helped me to change my choices and consequences.
Sometimes our choices have conceqences and sometimes life happens. i chose to be happy and trust Sometimes life just happens and it rains on the just and the unjust. Sometimes things are not as bad for us as someone eles. God bless keep the faith and fight onYes he cares. he cared this much he hung his two arms out and hung on a crosss and died for you and me. he is not a slot machine. someetimes we bring stuff on ourselves. I know that I have. sometimes not. but like the three hebrew children in the fire. I dont bend bow or burn.

Consider this, that the answer to your prayer is no. There is a lesson for you and your family to learn from, like Job, having everything taken so you can grow in faith. God, is not Santa Clause. He gives what you need, not what you want.

Mark 10:21-22 "You lack one factor; pass, sell what you own, and supply the money to the undesirable, and additionally you have got treasure in heaven; then come, persist with me." -Jesus Matthew 19:23"quite, I say unto you, it is going to be stressful for a prosperous guy to go into the dominion of heaven." -Jesus Mathew 19:24 "And lower back I say unto you, this is less demanding for a camel to pass in the time of the attention of a needle, than for a prosperous guy to go into into the dominion of God." -Jesus Luke 14:12-14 "once you supply a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your acquaintances or your brothers or your kin or prosperous pals, in case they might invite you in return, and additionally you would be repaid. yet once you supply a dinner social gathering, invite the undesirable, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. and additionally you would be blessed, because of the fact they can't pay off you, for you are going to be repaid on the resurrection of the righteous." -Jesus "i admire your Christ, i do unlike your Christians.

Your family has got an extensive "family" of maybe many members, a network of relatives and or friends, a job, some savings or goodwill in some bank, one or more employers, or potential employers, local authorities that may help, ... - it is these that you should visit and pray to. It is these you should try to rely upon.
Jesus was not of this world. Jesus expects His followers to abandon all what they have, all their property, all of it, and so also abandon one's own spouse, one's own children, everything, even one's own unburied dead father ... in order to follow Him, Jesus Christ, and to love Him and His Father Who is in Heaven.
His church may expect you to sell all what you have in order to give it to your church so that your church may give some of it to the poor. His church is supposed to live on tithes and gifts from the faithful, from the parishioners. His church is a hierarchical institution of Pastors and Herders, of power-seeking holinesses or saintlinesses.
So, please, confidently think about what I have said and am going to repeat, and try to see whatever possibilities there may be: "Your family has got a family, an extensive network of relatives and or friends, some savings or goodwill in some bank, a job, one or more employers, or potential employers, local authorities that may help, ... - it is these that you should try to visit and pray to. It is these you should try to rely upon."
Good luck!!
