My family and I are in desperate need of prayers. We are having so many financial problems right now that it seems like we will never be able to get back on track of where we were a few years ago. My husband lost his job less than a year ago and my hours have been cut drastically. My husband has since found a new job but is making about $3 dollars less per hour. Last year, my company withheld raises and has stopped any and all overtime/extra hours. I am a hospice nurse so I travel to/from patients houses.....the company has also decreased the amount that they pay us for mileage. With that, I made $25,000 less last year. We have four children. Two of them are in college and the other two are in high school. Next year, we will have three in college and one left in high school. We are three months behind on our mortgage and we owe money for the kids' housing at college. There are so many other things we owe for such as medical bills(my husband had to have two surgeries last summer), student loans, etc. I am so afraid to even go to our mailbox and I avoid phone calls at all cost. I am afraid to even look at my checking account because I know I won't have enough to pay for our bills and expenses. I am waking up several times at night with panic attacks and am slowly giving in to feelings of hopelessness and depression. Please pray that God will give me the strength and the means to fix this. I have never cared about "things".....but I do want to be able to pay what I owe. Thank you for taking the time to pray for my family and me.

Praying for you and your financial problems.

I know this sounds radical, but maybe you need to evaluate your spending. You are already not making ends meet and thinking of sending another child to college? My kids paid their own way through college. It was not easy, but they appreciated it and worked hard. Perhaps they need to take some time off. You should not be going into debt over their education. It is not a right to have a college education, although sometimes we think that.

If your situation continues, please pray about this. I know it would be very sad, but if you can't pay the bill, don't lose you home and get huge problems over it.

Financial crisis is a way through which satan brings depression and discouragement. You loose your focus from God and pay attention to financial lacking.

I want to tell you according to word of God that you should tithe first and if needed make a covenant with God. It is your time of trail so keep your faith in him.

Malachi 3:10
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need

God said here that put him to test and see what he do. He is saying to trust him. Just go for it, i guarantee that he will bless your house and you will never have enough place to store your wealth. Give your tithe and offering to church which you visit and test him.
