I'm Broke and Confused

Your prayers will be answered. Have faith! God has a plan for you and will reveal it when you are ready. Seek out other believers to hang out with (offline as well as online) and stay busy helping others. When we take the focus off ourselves we allow things to flow towards us. There is much good coming your way- you just have to stand with your hands open!

Wow, everyone. Thanks for all the prayers. I was surprised to see all the added prayers on this thread. Especially with it being quite old. I do have more faith now and I am glad to have wonderful people like you praying for me. This makes me believe even more.

You are all right. I will be just fine.

A friend called me yesterday and told me about a tithing program that a pastor was inspired to put together to create wealth for people struggling in this economy. When I looked at the plan it brought water to my eyes because this is the answer to my prayers. I will share with anyone intrested. Honesty, trust and prayer is a must.

Hello Broke and Confused,

You have everything going for you because you are so young. What things turn you on? What are your goals? We all want to make money, so that should be the reward for your goal. Have faith and do some serious soul searching. It will come to you.

Thanks Dora and Lucy.

I will pray for you as well. You should also consider going to school to learn a trade if you haven't done so yet.
It's easier to earn good money when you have a college degree.

Good advice Debby. Thank you.

Proverbs 3:5,6- Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.

You can be confident in that God assures relief for those who trust in him and guarantees to never let the righteous totter. Psalm 55:22 says "Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you, never will he allow the righteous one totter".

Remeber Jesus didnt even have a place to lay his head but he was always taken care of. Matthew 8:20 "Foxes have dens and birds have roosts, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head". Now we know Jesus was a carpenter so he could have built a comfortable home for himself or even sold furniture to make extra money, but he was very self-sacraficing. He didnt have alot but he was happy.

Im sure with God's help you and guidance you will find something to provide for your needs.

Thank you MCW,
I do have faith that I will be successful and already have a plan. I do love that proverbs verse. It use to be one of my favorites. It's good to be reminded that I shouldn't lean unto my understanding but have blind faith in God.

I am thankful that I am well taken care of and know that soon I'll be taking care of myself. I will try to practice putting my burdens on God so I can rest.

Prayer is okay I suppose but it doesn't pay the bills.

What do you like to do?? What are you good at?? Everyone usually has a few things they do better than others..you just have to figure out what it is.

Go online and ask questions about things...try videojug.com (it's a how to video site) and has lot's of helpful ideas. Read books on how to start a small business from home and while you're looking, pick up a part time job to make friends and connections. It doesn't have to be a job you love..just something to help out with your bills for now while you think about the stuff you love to do.

Try going to your local small business center for suggestions or do it right here on these forums. Follow people's links and you'll discover entire new worlds out there.

Good luck. just get out there and see what the world has to offer!
