Emborelith
Disciple of Prayer
My name is Dawaun. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife of 5 years and 2 kids, a 5 and 1 year old. Approximately 2 years ago, we were living in a two bedroom apartment, working on building our credit to get a house we can grow into. During that time, God blessed my career, helping me achieve a promotion and increase my income from 50k to 100k/year with the help of overtime my job offered. Due to this income increase and maintaining 100k for 3 years straight, I built enough courage to apply for a mortgage and my family was blessed with a 465k mortgage loan. After house hunting, we found our home which cost 450k. I prayed to God at that time asking if this is the house for us, and I felt assuredness that this was the right decision to make in getting this house, believing that I will maintain overtime pay and that due to my finance certifications, I can find promotions to increase my income in the future.
Now fast forward to today, we are a year in the house and my job is saying they plan to do away with overtime sometime next year. That would send the 100k or so I was making to only 80k. This sent me into a world of worry and stress and regret. I feel as though I may have not heard God correctly on choosing this house. I feel I may have been overzealous in my ability to maintain such a house. I felt so stupid, saying to myself I should have waited to find a cheaper house. Im afraid I wont be able to cover all my bills next year. I have been applying to other job opportunities to increase my income, but I have not heard a response even though Im qualified. I feel like Im letting myself and my family down and its my fault life seems to be on hard mode now. I asked God for forgiveness and cry to him day and night asking him to provide my needs and not to leave nor forsake me. Ive been standing on Phillipians 4:4-9 to get me through my days, but I cant see the future I am praying to Yaweh for. I have accumulated 9k in credit card debt and we are in a residential area where property and city taxes, and Fed taxes, keep rising. Im in need of prayer for peace in this situation, and a need for wisdom,knowledge, understanding, and foresight. I also need prayer for God to provide abundance/overflow of all my needs and financial needs. I have been tithing to God but due to debt and bills, Ive only been able to tithe $20 here and there. I wish I could give more to God. Thank you for your agreement in prayer in advance. I dont know what else to do but to turn to God and I was brought to this site. Thank you.
