I need $25,000 dollars.
How odd, that this is the figure that will erase all of my problems, and I mean ALL. I’ve tried everything to earn the amount, worked, taken extra work, both out here in the world and online, even spending an entire year teaching English as a second language abroad, but just when I begin to accrue the amount, something ALWAYS comes up that drains me back to negative.
From an unexpected illness, to being rendered redundant with no severance pay, to going months without a job, taking out loans to survive, then once I secure work, bills and REPAYING those loans take every cent I have, or I wind up lending it to those with greater needs than my own who in turn can’t afford to refund me due to their own circumstances, or who just plain ghost me, leaving me at a great loss, especially emotionally.
The devil is a liar, and I have thrown scripture at my problem, but the words are increasingly sounding hollow. Can anyone out there relate? WHERE IS GOD DURING MY TIME OF CRISIS? The worst part is being related to people who are doing exceptionally well, yet cite problems {imaginary, if you ask me} as the reason behind their lacking financial support. The plan is simple. It always has been. Earn, save, and pay what I owe, yet…
I’m losing my faith, not to mention my sanity. To think of all those hopes and dreams I had for my life only to find myself a slave to $25,000? What bitterness I feel! Death would be merciful, I keep thinking. So many suffer out there, going through way worse, and I know all this and emphasize accordingly, but that’s their journey, and I would love to impact their lives, but for this pesky fiscal problem of mine.
They don’t tell you this when you get saved. The testing of one’s faith is brutal.
Hello,
What you are going through is normal. God will see you through I promise you. Just focus on God and not on the debt. Take it one day at a time.
Are you tithing? If not, start. God is faithful. I once needed $20,000 dollars to make one problem go away. I researched, thought about getting a loan but the interest rate would have killed me. So I started to trust God would make away. I took buckeled down and took one big bite at a time. You can do it!
Tonight, I pray God will give you peace about the situation. I pray God will help you focus on Him and not the $25,000 for HE IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU MORE than $25K.
Dear God, please hear your child tonight. Give her peace Lord. Make a way for her Lord, bless your child in Jesus NAME WE PRAY!!!!
Years ago I was riding my motorcycle at the speed limit of 55MPH and a deer ran out of the woods, I hit it and totaled my bike, almost died and had $50,000 of medical bills. I secretly prayed that God would restore to me twice that amount, since He did the same for Job, and since God does not show favoritism, and since I was faithfully serving Him in a ministry. Within 3 months God had supplied more than twice and I was out of debt. I’m just saying that if God could do that for me, then He can help you also, if you are doing all you can to serve Him.
Don’t give up! I know it’s hard right now but it won’t always be this way. Something that may help is listening to transformation churchs faith series. Its encouraged me in my lowest of times.
If you tithe, give it to someone who needs it not to some church that turns its back on need.
Lord, I pray now for this 25000 dollars to come in. Please, Lord, you see the need here. It isn’t fair. You are a mighty God, please look down and move on this persons behalf. Amen.
Awwww please God give me a great testimony I promise to come give my testimony Amen
One of the things God has taught me this past year is that while we are waiting on Him for an answer we can ask Him for His peace and He will give it to us. We might not get the answer to our prayer right away but WE CAN BE AT TOTAL PEACE WHILE WE WAIT ON HIM. Scripture says in Isaiah 26: 3 that “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you,”. So you don’t have to be carrying this burden of unrest.
Ask Him for His peace and He will give it to you. You don’t need to self generate it or convince yourself of it , He just gives you a sense of calm and total peace and the knowledge that it’s going to be OK even though in the natural you don’t know where or how your prayer is going to be answered. He will also provide what you need if you ask Him but it will be answered on HIS timeline. He may give you a new job or something will appear in the mail like a tax refund, who know’s how He will answer but He will.
Jesus said “So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For EVERYONE WHO ASKS RECEIVES; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”. (Luke 11:7:9-13) And it says that God will supply all your needs according to the glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
So ask God for His help, for His peace , for His grace to believe in faith (with grace being the God’s supernatural strength to do what you can not do on your own) and ask Him for answers on what to do as in His wisdom per the problem. The Bible says that God gives wisdom GENEROUSLY TO ALL without finding fault, and so He will give you His wisdom on how to fix the problem. and again it might be a new job or He might provide the finances straight up or both, or something else. But He will answer you.
But my main point again is that you DON’T HAVE TO BE IN UNREST or feel tortured while you wait. Ask God for His peace and He will give it to you.
I’ve had problems that needed answers and my anxiety over it was great and I asked God for His peace and He gave it to me. Did HE give me an answer on how to fix the problem? No. BUT at the SAME TIME the ANSWER to my prayers WAS HIS PEACE. It doesn’t make sense to our finite minds when He does this. But sometimes that’s His answer at the moment, He gives just His peace while we are waiting on Him for fix our problem. God has his plans and His timing is PERFECT. He is not always on time but HE’S NEVER LATE!
” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
I will pray for you. Be of good cheer because you have a great God that you can go to for help and He loves you and He loves to help His children!
