Praying for patience and resilience

Hey everyone,

I just recently graduated from college. I've had a rough time through college trying to graduate, but i finally did it. The only bad thing is: My GPA is terrible. I am living back at home with family, and I currently am unemployed. I've been diligently looking for jobs and writing several cover letters. I've gotten a few replies, but my parents are getting very impatient with me finding a job. I am at the point, where I am going to find a local job so I can gain some kind of income, but some part of me feels like I am settling for less.In college, I was so stinkin poor, and I thought these financial hardships would have came to an end, but they are still here.

I am just asking if you guys can pray for my patience and the strength to get back up when rejected by these jobs.

I don't know what God's will is, but i'm so tired of being poor. I am tired of constantly depending on my parents to help me out. I am so fed up with being this way, and I want to get back up and receive the support from my Savior, not constantly leaning on my parents for this support. I am old enough where I feel like I should not have to continue to run back to them and it's killing me inside how much they have to help me.My parents are getting older, and soon they are going to retire. I don't know how long I can keep up with this dependency.

Please pray for my patience and the strength to keep getting back up when i'm down. I want to settle for God, I want to settle for the best.

You will be in prayers brother. Continue relying on God for that job, and He will give you that job. God bless

You and your parents are in my prayers in Jesus.

God bless

Hosea 4:6 God said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."


James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him

Proverbs 16:16
How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!

Proverbs 11:2
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom

Thank you everyone for your replies. I really needed this encouragement.

I wrote this recently below.... Anyway... dear lord please help this person to get back on there feet amen.

[FONT=verdana,arial,sans-serif]I'm gonna try and demonstrate a few ways to get some cash in case you're in a bind and looking for some ideas:

Finanical assistance:
1) Ask friends or family for an IOU
2) Get on wellfare
3) Apply for a title loan
4) Apply for a line of credit at the bank
5) Cash in any investments, or RRSP's
6) Sell off any excess items you no longer want or use
7) Get an extra credit card and use that temporarily
8) Get a cash advance from your employer or from money mart
9) Find a job
10) downsize your lifestyle, smaller house or car

Quick Businesses:
1) Rent out any extra room or garage in your house
2) Post ads online offering a hot shot city wide delivery service, which you simply need a car
3) Post ads offering caregiver assisted living services. Seniors often need help with things like home care, groceries, being driven around to appointments etc..
4) Buy a portable commercial grade carpet cleaning unit. There about 500 dollars. Then post ads online offering carpet cleaning services. It's hard work but it's an easy way to generate income.
5) Offer a landscaping service. Landscaping basics aren't that difficult to learn. Often people just want there lawn mowed or there sidewalk shoveled. Again an easy way to generate some income
6) Offer a painting service. Professional painters do have years of experience. But to paint a fence or the boards on the front of a house, for example isn't hard at all. That's something you could do right now and work your way up to bigger jobs.
7) Take out some ads online offering housecleaning. Again very simple to do, doesn't require much to get started.
8) Virtual assistant has become a popular role for people that have any kind of secretarial background or are just good with computers. There's tons of websites in which you can offer up your services to small businesses that need help but can't afford full time staffers.
9) Junk removal is another simple business that anyone with a truck could do.
9b) Buy a cube van for cheap, might be able to find one for under 1000. Then post ads online offering a moving / delivery service. This can make some really good money apparently.
9c) There's lots of MLM businesses out there that you can get into for under 200 dollars. Some might work, don't buy into any of the hype they bombard you with. You have to think independent of there hype and try and find something that you think you could actually market. But there are people making money in the industry, but it's very hard, the upside is it's cheap to get into.
10) Start a website selling an ebook, course, membership, services. Once you have the website or blog then you just get a paypal account link the too and start taking orders online. You can set up a basic blog at blogger.com or wordpress.com . If you want to start a fully independant website that you host, you can post your project idea at Scriptlance. Someone there will do it all for you for under 50 dollars. How? Just find a basic website that models what you want. The post on Scriptlance.com "I want a basic website like this one". Someone will take up your project and get it all set up for you without you needing to know very much. All you need to know is a website has 3 parts. 1) a domain name. That's like the same as your business address. It's an address. www....whatever. 2) Your hosting, that's like your space. So the store space you'd rent in a mall, that's basically the same as your hosting. It's the physical area in which you'd put your website. and 3) Your website. That's like that actual stuff you'd have in your store. The products, the layout, where your cash register is, and everything else that you'd put inside the physcial space. But online it's all in the form of information. So your website is like a multipage document, and obviously you've visited enough to know what they are like. So that's all you really need to know about how a website functions. Address, Space, Store. Same as a physical buinsess only virtual. But online it's called: Domainname, hosting, and website. Again anyone on Scriptlance can get you setup for dirt cheap. Websites are great but I warn you there not overnight money makers. They take a lot of time to get to that point.
Alternative or in combination with your own website you can start marketing online via an affiliate program like Clickbank.com which sends out affiliate checks bi-weekly. Very reliable program.[/FONT]
