The past 5 years have been so difficult for my family.  I faced layoffs, had salary reductions by 14 thousand dollars annually, while the price of healthcare increased, I’ve worked second part-time jobs and searched for new positions (even outside my industry) that may replace the two positions and I just can’t seem to make headway.  We have reduced our standard of living greatly and only have one of our three children in extra curricular activity while trying just to spend what little time I have with my family.

I unfortunately had to file bankruptcy last year and have had huge guilt about it.  We got in a care accident a few months ago where an uninsured motorist rear ended us.  So $500 deducible is gone and since then I cant seen to catch up with out bills.  I have about $400 dollars of unpaid bills and $900 of personal borrowed funds that I just wish I could pay back. 

I am so not where I thought I would be at tis stage in life.  I know God has a deep love for me but I am not sure the purpose of lacking a great deal of funds to provide for my family. Maybe to be faithful to Him and to trust him more than myself. 

My request is please pray that I don’t give in to my pride.  That God will provide finances for the bills in time before penalties kick in, and that we can get caught up.

I would love to change careers and find a position that I love and will provide enough for my family.

Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

[sboarding09]

I prayed for this. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
