Precious friend, I will pray for you; please be Very Richly Encouraged And
Edified In The Lord Jesus Christ, And In His Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided:
God's Grace Word for our infirmities!
Amen.
I haven't forgotten that feeling. Remember to give thanks when the work comes.
God is the God of breakthroughs and miracles. We have His Word '“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours', Mk 11:23-24.
Start confessing this from your heart and don't doubt God's promise but believe and expect. Be obedient in doing whatever you can for the Lord and read Heb 11, the Hall of Faith.
Lord God, I praise Your faithfulness and compassion and ask for Your perfect solution for Evansgrt1. Please bless him soon, thank You Father, IJNA

are you a born again Christian? if not, become one immediately. that's always the 1st move! proclaim Jesus Christ as your personal savior & confess it with words, believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead & you are saved & born again. you now have the Holy Spirit living in you who will guide & teach you all truths. if you already are born again, you may be going thru a season of suffering where God is trying to grow you in grace. we mostly learn thru adversity. i went thru a season of suffering from last late November to about the beginning of May. it was the best i ever handled a s. of s. & since then, i have been blessed better than i ever have in the past. blessing to you.

Welcome, welcome! I am in the same position, so first off, you are not alone. I suggest getting involved with your local worksource or something similar for your area. They can usually help you find financial help as well as a job that caters to your needs. Having that extra hand also increases your chances because you have a representative helping on your behalf, just overall making you look better. Make sure you talk to God and see what He is trying to accomplish through you, and that it is His will instead of your own… especially when you feel down and more rushed to fix your position. I had to learn God wanted me to work on my relationship with Him before the answers started to appear. Otherwise I found work that made me downright miserable and eventually let me go, putting me right back into a position of worry that God never wants us to be in. I hope this helps you! I’ll pray for you.
I was in my 20's (broke,clueless,hopeless)when I decided to try the city life....young and no idea about how to survive my life in the city... I applied as an all-around waitress(meaning I get orders,serve it, clean the tables, accompany the owner to the market etc) and she paid me not even enough to get to where I live so I needed to walk to get back to my cousin's house.
I got the job to get free food (breakfast,lunch and dinner) while I was tryin to figure out my life ....slowly I learned my way out....You see my brother or sister...your situation right now is not yet your final destination... You may be broke today but who knows what you will become tomorrow? I encourage you to keep going...no matter how slow you are... just keep going in the Lord's strength

I've been there before. I now have about 100 people working for my dept and hire a many people every year. I suggest....
Get out there doing something, anything. Call Labor ready or some other temp labor company who will send you out do different companies to work at odd jobs every day. Wait tables even if it's not your preferred career. Schools always need custodians and kitchen workers. Warehouses, especially Amazon are cropping up everywhere and have a lot of turn over and are always hiring. Deliver Pizzas. These things get a little money in your pocket while you search and makes you much less desperate when you are interviewing for the job you want.
You NEED to come off as positive and excited about the new opportunity when you interview for that "real" job and that's hard to do when your desperate. I'd even tell the interviewer that I really don't like my current job but needed to work and and am the kind of person who does what's needed to get where I want to be. Employers will like that. Look way outside of your perfect job for a little while. To make you more hirable for that perfect job.

Ugh. Car trouble. And when you can't get to w*rk over and over because your car's in the shop, eventually they don't want you to come to w*rk anymore.
How far do you live from your job? Can you bike there? You can pick up a bike real cheap, and you can fix just about anything that goes wrong with a bike with only a pocket multitool.
I live in the country about 20 miles from work, I paid 1400 bucks to get my car fixed it ran 2 days then conked out Labor Day weekend so they picked it back up Tuesday and gave me a loaner car but now they’re saying that the “real” problem is a part that will cost an additional 1200 dollars…I told them I didn’t have the entire amount and they said they had to order it and coukd get me on the road but have to disconnect the part and I can pick up my car Monday but I’m scared it will conk out on me again…

I am sorry... Life sometimes is unfair isn't it? Yeah,those were my words a long time ago for so long because I could not see the value yet in the pain I was dealing with at the time, I was focused on why it was happening to me and how unfair life was...but looking back now all I can say is thank you Lord I am who I am because of those challenges I went through....My prayers for you are wisdom, strength and protection may God be with you wherever life takes you
