Time is running out for me. I just need prayer

[kally101]

I lost my job back in June of this year. I think God took it away from me because I complained and wanted out. The company was very dishonest in the way they did business. Normally when God closes one door another opens, but my current situtation can not be what God has in store for me or can it? Did he get me out of there to show me that that is not what I really wanted?

Since then I have found a part time job which is barely enough to get by on or pay all my bills. I am talking 190.00 a week!! I feel God taking that away too.

I have been on interview after interview, filled out application after application to no success. I have gotten professional help with my resume and interview techniques and still not good enough.

Now for the kicker. I recently went on a job interview that I thought went very, very well, so well in fact that I steps out on full faith in God that I had it and let my current employer know I can only do 16 hours instead of the 26-32 they normlly gave me. The plan was, once I got the other job to give a two weeks notice, but since I had not heard anything and the job is due to start Sept 8th, I figure I can drop my hours, then leave the two weeks. Well this Thursday will be a full two weeks since I had the interview and I called them today to check the status and the first interviewer I had interviewed with said that she had not heard word yet, but I am free to apply for other positions. I am still confused on that one as to mean thats fancy way of saying I did not get the job, or to wait.

My current employer already is training someone in our dept and not to mention the work load is light, so I doubt I can get my hours back even if I wanted. I can no longer afford to pay anything and will be homeless if I have nothing by the end of Sept. I know we are suppose to wait on God, but will it be in time ? Living on the streets is not the way to go and I thought that when God opened a door it was suppose to be for the better not the worse. They say you are not suppose to give up and keep trying, but when is enough, enough? I know God has better for me, but when will that be? I don't ask for much, just basic living needs and human desires.


I have family, but can't move in with them because I will truly end my life. I already get extremely depressed being around them, I can't imagine having to move in with them. I have no friends, just no body to turn to.

I am to exhausted to keep on going on interviews only to get shot down, and I even have three degree and can't get no where. I am really at my wits end here.

Thanks for listening

Perhaps God is trying to get you attention. Instead of struggling turn this worry over to Him. (even if it means you have to move back with your family.) I have found simply having a willingness to be moved wherever God wants us is enough to find joy no matter what our situation looks like. Maybe He has something better for you. Maybe you should just trust Him, by doing whatever is right, no matter what you foresee the consequences to be. Truthfully what other choices do you have if you petition for remaining in your current living situation is denied?

This def gives me something to think about. I strongly feel God telling to move out of the State I am in. I was scared at first, but I will have to go where he leads me.

Be encouraged kally, God is for us not against us but that doesn't mean we won't go through trials at times. Hard seasons build our faith and character which is why God allows them. He'll get you through this if you focus on him and doing the right thing. He never punishs us unfairly or unresonably and he doesn't go out of his way to 'get us' for mistakes we make. Mistakes do have consequences but God is definatly a loving father who only wants the best for us. If it's any encouragment, reading some of the tough times people in the bible went through can give a better perspective on our own trials at times (in that we're not the only ones.)

I hope and pray all goes well for you, having been in a similar situation once. I went for an interview to a company who was really keen to see me, and they said I should hear back in a couple of days, 4 days later, my friend sent me a news article about that company closing down. >_>

So yes, I pray your situation improves significantly, God rarely does things in small steps it seems.

Hi Kally,

Just prayed for you sis.

I had a similar situation earlier this year. I had lost imo "my perfect job" through ill-health and whilst still recouping had to take up a job on less hours and a 600 pound a month deficit. During this time period my child minder had to increase her rate, the car broke down and a lost my internet connection and use of the computer for 3 months (which prevented any further job hunting online, plus pursuing any other money making plans I had). I'd reached a point where I straight up asked the Lord what on earth was going on. The word that came back to me in March was "reliance".

Though this may not apply to your circumstances, in my case I had not turned all my trials over to the Lord. I was relying on my own methods and thinking to solve the many problems instead of spending time with Him and relying on His provision.

The end result of this for me was that after I sought Him, He has pulled me through.

Your post #6 shows me that you have already quietened your soul to listen to His direction.

He will change this for you, things will improve as you continue to lean on His Word and trust Him.

Hang in there sis!

I know things happen for a reason and maybe God is giving me a better perspective of my own trials, but I truly can not take this suffering, especially not knowing when it will end, because everything is on Gods terms and many times it can be for years, regardless of how positive you stay.

Wow I am sorry to hear that. Thank you for your prayer.

Thank you for your prayer. I have no choice now but to turn it all over to him. It is obvious I can not do it on my own.
