I'm in a financial bind. I've bit off more then I can chew.... I work and work,but the pay isn't enough to cover the bills. The lord has always come through.... but I'm at my witts end. Going through the struggle is hard I need some encouragement, prayers, positive words.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear you are in financial trouble. So what are you going to do if God gets you out of this situation? Does "biting off more than you can chew", mean overspending?

My thought is to keep track of every expense. Don't buy anything, no matter how much you need it, if the money is not there. Commit to pay off your debts.

When my husband and I were raising 4 children, we were both working, although I was part time, so I could be home with the kids when they got home from school. I had a double entry booking system and kept track of every penny we spent. Every month, our bank balance was $0. But the bills were paid, and the kids never went hungry.

When they moved out, we were frugal in spending. Now we have been able to save a lot of money, including paying off our home.

I pray you will get a miracle, but also that you will settle down and live within your means. No one teaches or says that any more, but it is God's way, and he will take care of you, if you are sensible and don't overspend.

Father, we ask in Jesus name that you help our sister in her time of need. We know no problem is too big, or to small for you to handle. Bless our sister and give her the strength to figure out how to get them bills paid.
Amen

Our Father - being in a financial struggle, I know exactly how our sister hear feels, the trials she has to endure, the endless nights she lays awake worrying about finances, being able to relate I also feel that I can lift her up in your name God, and I trust and believe that you will give her the wisdom she needs to become financially stable. Our own manmade plans leave us worse off than ever so I pray that you will guide Mistee and show her the way. In your name Jesus. Amen

Sweetie, so many times in life we don't do things properly according to God's will. :(

Yet He never ceases to be a faithful Father to us. ♥
Psalm 103 says He pardons all our iniquities, and that He is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

I have been where you are, through my own sin.
God not only forgave me, but showed me the way out of that pit, and taught me never to repeat what I'd done.
Not that there were no consequences for my behavior--:rolleyes:.
But He faithfully cares for His children, even when we've disobeyed Him.

I encourage you to meditate on your own testimony that "the Lord has always come through".
I know the waiting is difficult, and I pray you will be strengthened and given grace to stand on His Promise to care for you.

love,
ellie
