I have been out of work for over 18 months now and not for lack of trying. I have done every little side job you can imagine to try and keep it together. I am about to lose my home, my car, and have all my utilities turned off. We not only wont have any place to go but I cant imagine why God is not answering my prayers. I have been a Christian since I was 8 years old and I pray every day. I read the bible almost every day. I know I am asking in Jesus name, I know I am asking with a heart full of faith and I have been very patient. My kids are praying as well. The sad thing is we know so many non believers who have gotten new jobs, new cars, new homes, their kids have all the latest new stuff and they dont pray or believe in anything. I am afraid my kids are going to stop believing soon. You can see why they would. I am not afraid of hard work. Their father hasnt paid support in years so i have always worked either 2 full time jobs at 90 hours a week or a 60 hour work week to make ends meet. I am not praying to be a millionaire...just for a job and maybe now a back support check that I/ve been trying to get for so long that would catch us up and hopefully restore the girls faith. I am doing everything my bible says to do when I pray and yet nothing. I am thankful for what we do have and thank God every day....multiple times. Last night I got my 2nd flat tire in two days...it seems things only get worse for us. Maybe if alot of people pray for us at once it will help. I am sorry that I can purchase candles at this point . I have absolutley no income and nothing in any bank account. I dont even have auto insurance anymore but I will pray for every request that comes my way in the hopes you will still pray for me and some day soon I will be able to purchase candles too. Thank you for all your prayers.
Kim
I want to let everyone who has been praying for me know that I got a job!!!! 18 months without one praying every day and nothing...a week on the prayabout website with all you wonderful people helping to encourage me and remindind me to keep the fait AND all your prayers and I got one!! God is SO AMAZING! You all know I was starting to get discouraged and even though I am still in horrible debt too deep to get out of with this job....today I am running around like a new person. I cant tell you how it feels to at least get that burden lifted. The rest will come I am sure. Thank You again to you all. I will continue to pray for each one of you as well. I am proof that sometimes it doesnt come when we want it to.......but it always comes. Praise God!!!!
I am still trying to remain positive and full of joy over the new job but today I received my home forclosure papers and they are coming to reposess my car on Aug.31st. It seems like it took so long to get any answer and once again....for what.? Now I wont be living here and I wont even have a car to move me and my kids or go to a job. I had already sold all of our furinture to try and catch up on the car payments once before and now I have nothing left to sell. Today is my daughters birthday and I have nothing for her. Shs is used to it but it seems so unfair. You have no idea what these girls have already been through. Our troubles started years ago with their abusive father. They've seen things you wouldnt wish on the devil himself. I would end my life but I have no life insurance either and my girls need me desperatley. On top of all this I have had so many people who I have been telling how great God is for answering my prayers and they say things like " a miracle???? it took 18 months and you sold all you owned just to lose it anyway?? Some Miracle! I know it is the devil and I know God loves me and these girls but even the strongest Christian.....Jesus himself cried up to the heavens and asked why his Father had forsaken him." I wish I still had the same wonderful feeling I used to have when I ask the Lord for something but now I just feel like Job...wondering why God would let me be tested so long. I cant even imagine why he created satan and didnt destroy him at the first sign of evil. I thought Angels ( wich satan once was) did not have freedom of choice anyway so how did he decide to go against God in the first place? I am starting to question everything I have believed in and preached to my children for years and years. If you remember God told satan before he went to test Job that he could take anything from him but not to hurt him..Does anyone think taking someones children from them isnt hurting them.? Why didnt God stop Satan? He already knew Jobs heart right? He knew he would never turn against him....God knows all correct? It is like a game they played with him and I think that is what is happening to me and I think it is cruel to be coming from my loving father who could stop it with the blink of an eye . If my earthly father could stop alll this he would...why not my Heavenly father who can and PROMISED ME HE WOULD ON NEARLY EVERY PAGE OF THAT BIBLE I READ EVERY DAY?? Please pray for our desperate situation but still also give thanks for the job he blessed me with at the beginning of the week and pray I find a way to and from it and a place to to move my kids etc. God Bless You All
Dearest Kim, I pray that you are winning and that you are receiving from the Lord and all is good in Jesus Name, you have been a source of hope for me and you have triumphed thru this ordeal< I pray the Lord will keep the debtors off of your back and that the Lord is working it out for you, so that you will keep your HOME< Lord let kim keep her home and let her doors be open to do your will. Lord keep the enemy at bay, and let your Angels cover Kims children and her with endless protection, Lord assist her to do the right thing and be in the right place at the right time to receive your Blessings, she was down to nothing Lord and you showed her who you were, rooted in your Faith, Lord comfrot her heart and let Kim love you more now than ever before, Jehovah Jireh be continuos our provider, so as it is written let your wonderous works be declared In Jesus Name Amen.
When we feel let down, we say its a game of chess and we are the pawns but they say whilst your here you will have trials, Kim, its just the way it is, a lot of christians say you must not question God is ways are not are ways and he is apt to show up at the last minute, the test is you holding on to the last hour
and lean not on your own understanding, the Lord knows our heart, he warms to a sincere heart and remember Jesus is with us interceding to the Father on our behalf, he will not let no harm come to you, I am praying for you and your children.
stay strong and encouraged, read psalm 27 for uplifting the soul and to find confidence in the Lord.
THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION WHOM SHALL I FEAR THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID, WHEN MY ENEMIES THE WICKED AND MY FOES CAME UPON ME TO EAT UP MY FLESH THEY STUMBLED AND FELL, FOR IF GOD IS FOR ME WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME...HE HIS MY RIGHT HAND MY CONFIDENCE AND MY DELIVERER AND MY PROTECTOR, AND NOW MINE HEAD IS LIFTED UP ABOVE MINE ENEMIES, ROUND ABOUT ME, AND I WILL SING PRAISES UNTO THE LORD MY GOD, I SING A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE UNTO HIS HOLY, MIGHTY AND PRECIOUS AND WONDERFUL NAME IN JESUS NAME WE SAY AMEN..
Men & Women of God,
We certainly don't feel blessed when we're being insulted and persecuted. But Jesus said in Matthew 5:11 that we, in fact, are blessed in those times. The Lord's perspective on persecution differs from ours. He considers it a positive thing if we suffer in His name. You may ask why persecution benefits us.
First, it proves our faith. The only way we can know the capacity of our faith is through testing. When we persevere through a trial, we begin to understand our ability to remain steadfast and obedient in the midst of challenges. We also learn the magnitude of God's strength to support us through persecution.
Second, persecution purifies our lives. It snaps our attention away from meaningless things and onto the Lord. We're driven into His arms by suffering. As we grow closer to Him, He'll remind us of wrong attitudes and actions. Some may be related to our trial and others may not. Persecution is a powerful cleansing tool.
Third, it prepares us for greater service. Suffering breaks our pride and self-reliance, attitudes that hinder our usefulness for the Lord. Pride crumbles when we realize we're incapable of living the Christian life alone, especially when we've been insulted and hurt.
A life of ease and pleasure isn't always a sign of blessing. First Peter 4:12 says to not "be surprised at the fiery ordeal ... as though some strange thing were happening". If persecution strengthens our faith, purifies our hearts, and equips us for greater service, then we should thank the Lord for the way He'll use it in our life.
God Bless You

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
II Corinthians 9:8
I am keeping your family in my prayers....
Dear Lord Jesus, I will not leave you alone on this situation please deliver your daughter Kim out of this, Lord let supernatural transfer of monies move from one bank account into kims right now in Jesus Name Lord remove all obstacles and give kim a divine message of hope I deploy all the financial Angels to surround her now and annoint her for increase of money right now in Jesus Name, we bind up, and cast out every negative energy from kims home Lord establish her comings and her goings so that she can be positioned in the right place at the right time for that job, move quickly holy spirit and swiftly to bring back faith and restoration of kims livelihood, let there be a testimony to the Glory of your name Lord, let the Name of the Lord Be Magnified in kims household today and let it spill out into the streets and procalimed on the roof tops the goodness of the Lord in the Land Of the Living In Jesus Name Amen.
I stand in agreement with tante37, you must start to affirm positiveness just like affirmitive action, the devil likes to play havoc with our emotions, if you can see in the spirit and see that on the other side God Jehovah Jireh, has everything laid out and his plan is that he has a future and a hope for you not of evil but of good thoughts and love that you will prosper in the name of Jesus Christ jere. 29.11, the same thing was happening to me and I thought how much more I screamed at the Lord, every where I turned it was like a stumbling blok, but then I realised by the spirit of God that my own familiar friend was the cause of my dissappointments, although they are sitting in church they are angry with God and they are Jealous that you were coping even if you were'nt, they still want to see you, in the street and maybe 6ft under but you must stand firm on Gods word, and if you can pray and cry out with your daughter let the hurt out in warfar prayers stamp on the head of your enemies and fear not the Lord will send a help mate, and read this book called the power of the psalms by Anna Rivas it helps you to know what psalms to read for what situation, for quick assistance she says read psalm 40 fervently anointing your head after you have blessed it and evoke the holy spirit to intervene. you can use salt to remove negative energy by placing it around your home in corners or someone told me to get lime and salt, boil the lime and add salt then clean your house quoting psalms i.e. 37,91 23,24, I pray I have been some help in your time of need, I know we must always stand on the word call for Yahweh keep saying that name see how it makes you feel, then call Jesus the son of the living Yahew, this I say when it feels like no one is hearing me, what they mean't for evil the Lord will turn it for his good just cleanse and light a white candle for his angels to encamp around you and give you rest In Jeusu Name I rpay do not fear nor do not worry no more the Lord Thy God Is here, this is my expectation Amen...
Our Father who art in Heaven.Hallowed be thy HOLY name.Let us first give Praises and Thanks to a merciful and understanding GOD who knows all and sees all.Let us pray: We shall first ask for forgiveness for the things we do not fully understand and for the daily mistakes that we commit over and over unknowingly.LORD JESUS hear me in my hour of need as I have been led to believe that all, that I have been doing is the right way and sufficient.LORD JESUS as I come to THEE I open my heart to release the fears and doubts that has taken hold of me.LORD GOD, as I stand before THEE now ready to give to THEE all my wants and needs I fully realize that I must first give of myself and surrender completely to THEE LORD.I have taken the time to fill my heart with amazement on how others benefit in material things.I did not understand that THINE plans are in the workings for each and every one of us.With my eyes fasten upon others I have missed the blessings that were reserved for my steadfastness in honoring and worshiping THEE DAILY. I understand that it is by my actions and efforts that my children and I will benefit. I did not realize that I have already planted many seeds to be harvested.LORD JESUS forgive me for taking mine eyes off the prize.Help me to understand that the time has come to make changes in my life,that will benefit my family and also pave the way for my future.May I receive your insight on how I can place myself into a positive and lucrative position.Give me the confidence to ask questions about and read about how I can turn my situation around.Reveal to me LORD any hidden talents or skills that I can bring to the surface and use to supplement my income.LORD I am ashamed for the way I allowed myself to think.I give to THEE all my children that they may remain protected and open to the workings of GOD.Let the blessings fall upon my children as they prepare to inherit the KINGDOM OF GOD.I promise to uplift my faith in THEE and give willingly to others in need.I thank THEE for our union in prayer.IN JESUS NAME I WILL SURVIVE !!!
Will pray that God gives you strenght to go through what you are experiencing now. We are of the flight. I was also forced to quit my job and at the age of 51 yrs its too difficult to find a job. I have two children in college and a special child. Same with you I dont know where to get our daily living. I am also not in heavy debt just to pull through. But I dont lose. Our God is a last minute God, He is just testing our faith. and I believe than in HIS time He will give what we truly needs. GOD BLESS.

Hi Kim
Your letter makes me cry..believe me I have been where you are...walked in those shoes..what you are going through really hits home with me so much..you can write me to my email address..lovegod2@sbcglobal.net..I want to pray for your situation every day..tell you how I walked through all you are going through..it was pretty rough..all because of the antics my ex husband was doing to me back then as he dragged our divorce proceeding out..should have been a simple divorce taking 2 or 3 months tops..he dragged it on and on..out of pure hatred..to the point where I had no money and was on the verge of losing my house and car..he refused to pay the support he was ordered to pay and the courts did nothing about it..it was horrible. kept firing lawyers the day before or on our court date so the trial was postponed for more months..all that was so trying on me..could not figure out why GOd was letting me go through all that bad stuff, when I was the CHristian and he was not a Christian at all..it was really hurting the kids..but going through that really taught me to depend on God..even when things are totally hopeless..and yes I lost a lot..but I got it all back and then some.Hang in there and write me to my email..You will get through this and come out on top..It's God's will for you to make it..He doesn't want his Daughter Kim harmed in any way
God Bless You
Lord I pray for this family. Teach Kim to speak life into her situation. Do not compare yourself to others..Do not look at what the sinful non-believers have. Instead of speaking how God has not answered you, start speaking of how He will. Praise and thank God for how He will save you..He will bless you financially. Have you children speak life into this situation also. Thank God for the blessings you will receive..Show God that you have faith in Him, even though you cannot see the blessings you. I pray that He gives you Abundant Financial Blessings. Dear God I pray that you show Your daughter that You do love and care for her and that You can and are able to meet ALL of Her Needs. You have supported her all this time and You will continue to do so. I also pray that her ex has to pay child support. God I praise and thank You for the blessings You will shower upon this family and I pray they do not give up hope..
In Jesus Name I pray for them..Amen..
Thank you for your awesome prayers and know that I am keeping you in mine also for God's provision. God bless you.
I am praying for you. Expect those answers from God and you will receive them. He is an awesome provider. My husband recently left us and we have little income and go sent us $2075.00 on Tuesday. Praise the Lord. He can and will do the same miracles for you. Call those things that are not as thought they are and I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
