[Endure2]

YES YOULL SUCCEED IF YOULL STAY FAITHFUL TO HIM! YES YOULL FIND "THE ONE" THE PERFECT ONE... THE ONE... FOR YOU, THATS BETTER THAN ANY YOU COULD POSSIBLY FIND ON YOUR OWN!

I am not in any position to give you advice, I have never been where you are. But I don't see any other replies to your post, so I'll just say some things that seem relevant. Maybe the Holy Spirit will use me to help you, or maybe this is one of those times when silence would have been better, I don't know.

I think of the story of the pearl of great price. If your heart and mind and soul are telling you that you are where God wants you to be right now, then you have probably made a wise trade of a number of lesser pearls.

Don't forget that we exist in time but God sees the big picture and is sovereign. Tomorrow or a month from now He may want you some place else, or even to do what right now he does not.

I think I heard the statement once "God assumes total responsibility for the life totally devoted to Him." So stay focused on Him and His Will (as you say, like Peter on the water).

May God bless you and protect you.

man....today.
i serve in the childrens church at my church, and i was was worshiping the Lord during the time of worship as i watched the kids, there are between kindergarten and 6th grade... mostly younger ones.
and this precious beautiful little girl came up to me and nudged me...

she said she wanted me to pray for her and her daddy....
i asked what was the matter and she said her daddy didnt have a job... and her daddy didnt have a car... and she never gets to see her daddy...

and man my heart nearly broke... becuase i dont have a job either, and im going through the roughest time of my life... and this little girl who trusts me to be able to get in touch with God for her becuase of how sees me worship the Lord every week and be a christian every week, so she looks up to me and trusts me... and she wants me to pray for her and her daddy...

and i did pray, just a simple prayer that she could understand and believe in also...that in the name of Jesus... God would give her daddy a good job, and good car and let her see her daddy more often...

and this just touched me... so deeply. that God had me pray for someone else's need... when its the same need i have.

and i believe that as i help make miracles happen for other people, God will send someone and make miracles happen for me.

man, i dont have a job... but man im so blessed, to be able to be used like that... man ive made a lasting impression on that little girl, and becuase of something ive done she knows and loves and trusts in the Lord. shes like 10 years old... and she lifts her little hands up toward heavon and worships God, its so wonderful... to know this one is safe in Jesus.
she knows who Jesus is... and she looks up to me, and trusts in me. man why am i worthy of this? i just thank Jesus, becuase im nobody... but his merciful hand is using me to touch precious lives...

man... that is just so awesome.
man im so blessed....

My dear brother and friend,


I too am without work, for the past 2.75 years now and God has put me where I am. He is so mighty and His ways are so far above ours. Sometimes he uses these hard times to prepare us for some future thing. For me, it has been a time of rest, although I don't worry over rent. It is not easy to just rest in the arms of God when you see the world of storms raging around you. Yet I see peace in your words, which shows you really have faith.

I went through a similar thing when I was your age, and I was very young in the Lord. I tell you my friend, God has brought me through many things since then. He has often sent His angels to minister to my needs and has taken the time to teach me many things during these times of loss.

I will pray that you find work brother, would you tell us what you are trained to do so we might pray more specifically?
I am not in a position to say more to you right now than go in peace and with God who will provide for your every need. I say this because I also lack steady income.

As a man your age, I too was lonely, and seeking a mate. Pray and the Father will hear you plea. I prayed a specific list of desires in my searching and since then He has given me 3 children and 4 grandchildren and a wonderful family. Our Father is so great, too wonderful for words.

You seem young in the Lord my brother, and I will pray too, for your steadfast and steady growth. It is so very hard when you hit a valley, full of spiritual rocks and thorns to look up, and trust that He will not allow any harm, but truly my friend, He is faithful to do just that.

Have you spoken to the Lord about starting your own business? Perhaps He will guide you there. He had Paul make tents, and still minister to the people, perhaps He would have you do the same. For me, it has been a rocky thing, but God has still provided for my needs, even when business is bad. Lately He has been sending more folks my way. Our Father is so great.

We should pray that each others needs are met, and we should do so as often as we think of it, at least daily. So this is my pledge to you my friend, I shall pray for you.

I love you in Christ, brother.

Carl

Edit 12/7 ----------------Posted prayer for my brother.

Father God, our great provider and giver of all things, thank you so very much for Endure2. I ask your continued mercy in his situation, and I praise you Lord for the answers that you have already provided for him. I pray that you would continue to help my young brother in his growth in you. Grant him the peace that comes out of faith in your ways. I pry this in Jesus name. AMEN!

 

[Endure2]

man.. i appreciate you and what you do for me.
your prayers are deeply appreciated, thankyou.
you seem wise and weathered in the Lord... becuase of the peace and purity of your words... not mixed with vanity, evil ambition, adolescence... becuase some people even though they are correct, they reek of those things...

man thats awesome, not to know you went through stuff, but to know you were faithful... and you made it through.


i didnt speak with my friend matt about my situation, but God told him to pay my rent for me...
God provided me with 30 more dollars today... 2 big meals... and a steady temporary job that will atleast keep me fed and gas in my car and pay everything except next months rent when it comes around.

and get this, my new boss Dean is a great christian... who just went through the same stuff... he moved his family with the agreement of his wife away from all he had and knew in florida to georgia becuase he felt God wanted him to be in our church.
his family of wife and 2 children and were living in a friends attic... they had to crawl through a little whole and sleep on a mattress together... his wife and kids had to do that... (he had to watch them do that, ya know what that means to a husband and father?) and at one time, his family had no job... had 3 dollars to its name... and they werent sure their car would make it to the gas station....
but now the guy runs his own business, has a large beautiful home where he served me with wonderful hospitality today, his family is so happy... and he is working wonders for my faith during this time.

well all i know how to do is fast food... all i love to do is write and teach.
i just want God to come up with something for me, he has a plan.

A lot of people are out of work, now. It is sad the economy just isn't what it should be. We lift you up in prayer to get the job you need, and be able to stay with it.

 

[angelwind]

I have different circumstances, but this is a very encouraging post. The Lord called me to get "out" of the boat too this year...and I'm way out there...would like to be a little stronger. And I'm sure He will strengthen my walk [on water]. But...the call changed when I felt I was "out"...away from familiar props...to stay there...TO ABIDE IN HIM...LIVE IN HIS LOVE. Don't go back to the boat at all.

I could use some prayer support if anybody is led to pray for me.

Father in Heaven, Most High God, I ask your blessings upon angelwind, in the situation in which he/she finds your have placed him/her. You and you alone oh Lord, are the only way we have what we have, and the only way we learn more deeply of you. Reveal your Holy presence Lord, and comfort all of your children who are suffering want and need. Show forth the fulfillment of your Holy promises that we will never want, that we will always have enough, and that if we ask anything in your name it will be done. Oh most Holy Lord we give you praise for your every precious gift. Amen.

 

[angelwind]

I do thank you for your prayer. Usually I have more to share...but my spirit is very quiet these days.


PS...I am a "she"; a handmaiden of the Lord.

LOL. Glad to meet you handmaiden of the Lord. I am one of His knights, sworn to the quest of spiritual light, shining in the darkness of Satans' kingdom. (This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine......)

All praise the King

I'm just so thankful that our God is greater than any economy, and HE is able to provide much more than we can hold. Glory to His holy name.


BTW, I love your doggy.

 

[jangnim]

man.. i appreciate you and what you do for me.
your prayers are deeply appreciated, thankyou.

I can do no less for you. You are my brother in Christ.

you seem wise and weathered in the Lord... becuase of the peace and purity of your words... not mixed with vanity, evil ambition, adolescence... becuase some people even though they are correct, they reek of those things...

At every stage of our walk we are handed new challenges. As we walk the Lord purges us of pride, if we let Him. I can't say I've always let Him, so it is hard for me to accept this praise.

man thats awesome, not to know you went through stuff, but to know you were faithful... and you made it through.

The scripture tells us that everything we meet as a trial, has a way to get through or around the tribulation. It further tells us that we are not EVER alone.

i didnt speak with my friend matt about my situation, but God told him to pay my rent for me...
God provided me with 30 more dollars today... 2 big meals... and a steady temporary job that will atleast keep me fed and gas in my car and pay everything except next months rent when it comes around.

It is so wonderful to know that our Lord can, and does speak to His children. My prayer is that you continue to see His blessing my friend. Praise be to the King.

and get this, my new boss Dean is a great christian... who just went through the same stuff... he moved his family with the agreement of his wife away from all he had and knew in florida to georgia becuase he felt God wanted him to be in our church.

I rejoice with you and him in the on-going work of the Lord Jesus in your lives.

well all i know how to do is fast food... all i love to do is write and teach.
i just want God to come up with something for me, he has a plan.

My brother, I know times are hard for you, and I equally know that our God is greater than any adversity you face. Read Psalm 112. It will encourage you and lift you up when you are down. Read it out loud, as it will get deep in your spirit that way.

I would recomend that you find out what your state offers in the way of training funding. I would think you qualify for training assistance and you could end up with a trade that will pay well. The construction fields are begging for people, but it is very hard work. Your local community college might be able to provide you with some guidance too. Health care professions are the newest craze, as the population is getting older. In that profession you are in contact with lots of people, so you have lots of teachable moments.

Fast food jobs simply don't pay enough for easy survival, so unless our Lord says otherwise, I would counsel you to get trained in something.

amen amen and amen.

Godbless.

Hello everyone. Years ago when I was single, I was feeling like you. I had a temporary job assignment that was ending. The day before it ended, I cried my heart out to God. I was so worried that I wouldn't have a job. The very next day, to my astonishment (PRAISE THE LORD!!), my job assignment got extended indefinitely!! So, I can testify that miracles DO happen. God is a faithful, loving, God. Do your best to find a job and God will help you. I hope to hear testimonies from all of you soon. May God bless you all.

 

[Endure2]

well im still working on my testimony and if it is ruff... its the hardest thing ive ever been through in my life... if you want to know why, i put a new prayer request in the prayer request thread you can read.

but amen, thats awesome. its good to hear that you were faithful.

thankyou so much for taking the time to reply... im alright, but this is just the hardest thing ive ever been through... im doing things i think are just crasy becuase God told me too... its a test. to see if ill be faithful.
hes teaching me.

but your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

If you are walking in God's will He will make a way for you. I cab testify to that. I am not quite where you are but there are time when I don't think I will get through the month. I come up with all sorts of plans, but then when I decide to let go and let God, He comes through for me. Just this weekend past I was talking to a friend and sharing with her about my problems. I had got a lift with her to church and when we got back to my house she said that she had a R20 and R50 in her purse when they took up the tithe and asked God what she should do. She felt that He said to give the R20 and He had a purpose for the R50. She blessed me with the R50. I didn't expect it.

God often uses ways and means that you don't expect. He tells us that His ways are not our ways and nor are His thoughts our thoughts.

I pray that God will bless you, that He will honour you for your obedience to Him. I think He also teaches us to rely on Him in times like this.

i know.... see ive heard all this my whole life, and ive even told it to other people... but going through it yourself is the hardest thing ive ever done.

im not saying i dont appreciate your reply, i do. thankyou.

its just, putting all this into work, and really living it, is so hard.
i feel like im being torn apart. like i have all these people around me, and i dont feel like anyone understands, that im all alone. my parents think im just being foolish, my christian friends seem to think i just dont trust the lord enough...

my parents really dont understand, theyre christians but they dont understand why i didnt move back in with them, when God told me not too. i feel so alone, i know God is there, but i dont feel like anyone else is. and its so stinkin easy to say "well praise God hes all you need!" with a big smile on your face. part of me is so afraid becuase i dont know what tommrow holds... and while i try to believe in the one who holds tommorow... its so hard... this is tearing me to pieces.

but this is the hardest thing ive ever been through, it has completely broken me and taken me to my wits end, and i have no idea what tommorow holds for me, i hope i dont lose everything. and like last night... i just broke, and i cried and cried and cried... praying that God would open a door for me.
becuase you can only go so long without paying your bills ya know? and its getting to where i dont have any money period.

but i know God will see my through, and while i dont have the joy i had 2 weeks ago... i still try to let my petitions be made known WITH THANKSGIVING like the bible says, as faith in action. but its just wearing on me and it seems like everyday i can do less and less to keep my enthusiasm about my life.
