Another Prayer Request?

[Jaypeeto4]

Please pray for me.
I just got a new job, minimum wage plus commission (sales).
The thing is, I got this job after 2 years of unemployment and searching,
and after I had to start missing payments on some of my credit cards
due to no work/very low cash.
I want so badly to “catch up” on these payments, but now one of my creditors
has sent me notice saying I am in “default” and they are demanding a big payment right away. There is no way I can make this big payment right now.
I know that I am reaping what I have sowed. This isn’t just the fault of being unemployed,
it is my fault for getting into high debt through impulsive spending and also presumption, assuming that God loved me and would never let me get into financial trouble.
I will never do any of that again,
but I am begging God to rescue me from this situation.
I am not well, at all, mentally and emotionally (and I am sure I brought that on myself, too, somehow, due to my sins), and this is going to send me over the edge I am afraid.
I really do want to pay my bills and get back on track and support myself and help my poor family. I am in despair and don’t know what to do. Please pray for me,
and for my elderly folks, too. God bless all of you so much.

I’m praying hard.

Can you get some free legal advice on this? Many companies will try to bully people into making large payments but if you are going to be able to pay a small amount regularly, they should be happy.

I know that financial difficulties are very stressful and you have my sympathy. Please don’t feel that this is a judgement on you, When Jesus called Levi, he didn’t critise his past, just said “follow me”. It is good that you are accepting responsibility for the debt but don’t let that turn into guilt.

God would never punish you for sins with mental or emotional illness. He loves you. Would you give those you love the kind of suffering you are feeling? No? Then why would God? You can ask God to let some good come out of this suffering.

You sound like you need to talk to someone, can your priest help? You are obviously suffering and need help with this.

May Christ support us all the day long, till the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over and our work is done. Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging, and holy rest and peace at the last.

Amen.

Thank you all so much for praying for me, and for your helpful comments.

Things are actually worse than I described, there are more problems than these,
but these are the most pressing and crucial at this very moment.
Thank you again.
