College Student. Car Was Totaled. No Way To Go To School Or Work. No Money

[davidvy]

I am currently a college student. I was unable to afford the high costs of living in the dormitories so I decided to rent a home in what's considered a bad neighborhood for the low rent. I purchased a used car cheap so that I could drive to and from school as well as to work. I should be focused on my studies but all I can do is worry about money every single day. I am always scraping by to make rent and pay bills. I have been eating 1 meal a day for as long as I can remember. Christmas this year was a jar of peanut butter and crackers. My father is on the transplant list and waiting for a new liver. All of our family's little money goes towards his medicals bills and times are tougher since my father was the main breadwinner of the family. My brother is also in college and working especially hard to pay his tuition along with helping support the family. I have no one to turn to for money. I continued to fight on and prided myself on never giving up, no matter how hard the situation is. However, yesterday, I lost control of my car in the snow and my car was totaled. I thanked God that I walked away from the wreck with only scratches and bruises but then the enormity of the situation hit me. Insurance will not cover the damages and I am left stranded. I don't even have enough money in the bank to cover the towing fee let along get a new car. I want to keep fighting and pressing forward but what do I do when my sword has been taken from me? I have exhausted all possibilities and I come now in destitute. I have no way to get to work. I have no way to get to school. Through life my mantra had always been confident that God would take care of me and that everything would always turn out okay. I always believed this and never worried, but instead always looked for a solution. For the first time in my life, I am stuck. I don't know what to do and for the first time in my life I am scared.

Beloved David, dear friend in Christ Jesus, I have read your situation and I want for you to know that not only we are aware of it in this forum but GOD is aware also! He has told us not to give up, even when major obstacles come our way!

Things happen at the most inopportune times it seems. But truly there are no opportune times for car accidents and lack of money to continue with an education. However, these times signal for you to become Stronger in the face of adversity! Some people would simply give up, and Jesus would say to them "Oh ye of little faith." God would be very disappointed in your doing that. Others indeed can find a way to persevere! You too must be one to do so!

Your family obviously has some problems at hand to contend with but that does not have to mean an adverse sentence for you in continuing and following your dream. Prayer is very important at this point! You must go to God daily, several times a day if you can, and pray to Him placing your Faith, Belief, and Trust in HIm to help you through this situation and to send the appropriate people to you who could be of help. God Does Listen To Prayers!

So, do not feel all alone in your situation, David. You are not. God stands ready to help you if you reach out to Him in faith and allow Him to help you. Do not have even one strand of fear that you will not make it. For God is not the father of fear but of Love, Strength, and Compassion. Devote time to Him in prayer and see how your life can turn around for the better!

Embrace and Believe what Jesus has to say to YOU in this Scripture!

"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." -- JOHN 14:18 (KJV)

​

When you devote time to God, He devotes time to you ten-fold!

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." -- 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 (KJV)

​

We go to God in prayer now.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we gather today to pray for our beloved friend, David, who is in great need. LORD, we ask thee to bring him aide for what he needs in order for him to continue his education as well as the new automobile he needs to get to and from work as he is trying to move ahead in his life. He has done what he can to get ahead, Father, and now he needs your help! We know you have already met all of David's needs and we thank thee and praise thee and glorify your most Holy Name! In Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Never fear! With the Divine Power of Jesus Christ, Yes! You CAN Obtain That Which You Are Seeking, According To His Will!

For ALL Who Seek Jesus and His Salvation Who Wish To Become Born Again

​

PRAYER FOR SALVATION (to be said orally): Lord Father, I come to thee as a sinner with contrite heart and ask thee to forgive me of all of my sins. I accept and believe that Jesus Christ is the One and only begotten Son of God. I believe in my heart that Jesus died on the cross for me and that He resurrected from the dead through God. I promise to serve you in the most holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

From My Heart to Yours…..

Let’s Pray: God Thank You for allowing me to live and see another day, another New Year. Thank You for 2012. With all that is within me I say, Thank YOU. I praise You. I bless Your Holy name. There is nothing, no one, nor anything other than You worthy of worship. You alone are worthy of all Glory and Honor. Let me always walk in the respect and honor that You deserve.

God I ask in Jesus name “Encourage me to be my best self this year at all times. Let this New Year cause and bring about an acceleration and fulfillment of Your purpose for my life. Motivate me daily to live my purpose driven life. Open up my heart, my mind, and anoint my ears to hear what You are saying to me through Your Word. You are the potter I am the clay. Work on me. Work Your Will in my life. Take me beyond my limits and boundaries to Your unlimited capacities as You work Your awesome power in my life. Cover and protect me as I allow You to purify me. Continue to bring me into my metamorphous like the caterpillar. Transform me by the renewing of my mind through the Word of God, so that I may know and prove what is good, acceptable, and the perfect will of God. Let me come forth as pure gold. Let me become inward and outward all glorious for the King of Kings.

Let love, peace, healing, excellent health, joy, happiness, prosperity, protection, and the favor of God reign within the walls of my home and upon my life as I surrender my life and my will to YOU. God You are my source. Let every need be met in my life and home. You are the source of my strength. Strengthen and develop my faith in You like never before. And God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for all those I love and care about and the writer of this prayer. I ask all of this in Jesus Name. And I Thank You God for Answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen. Amen!â€
