I am poor and in financial need. I'm unemployed
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33. This is the verse that the Lord marked me.

furthermore it is written:
Do not work for perishable food, but for food that remains for eternal life, the one that the Son of man will give you, because this is the one whom the Father, God, has marked with his seal. John 6:27

What do you think? that I should go with these verses to a pastor, to know what to do?

I am sorry to hear you are struggling. I am sure your congregation will help you get back to securing an income source. We are all responsible to work out our own salvation in truth and conviction.

Look for a food bank. Look for a job.

The second verse isn’t a prohibition against work. That would contradict scriptures which say otherwise.

The point is balance. Not investing all your thoughts and energy in material comfort with no concern for God.
