Just like everyone else in eastern Canada, I moved out west for work. I thank God I have found employment, especially in a field I studied in school, but it’s been difficult.

I don’t make the high wages everyone else here makes, so I’ve had to be stingy. Now, I’m in serious trouble.

My car, which I use for work, has broken down and has sucked most of my money out of my account. I need to pay off my moving fees. I owe money to my last landlord for breaking my lease to come out here in the first place. I can’t afford to pay my cell phone bill, which is due sometime this week. I’m in an argument with my insurance company, and it looks like they’re going to win. I have student loans to pay back.

I’ve sold a lot of my belongings, but funds are starting to run dry. My family and friends back east can’t afford to loan me money. Today, I just applied for a line of credit, but I’m not optimistic. Tomorrow, I’m going to apply for a payday loan. I’m also looking at night/weekend jobs.

Back east, I couldn’t find work for 6 months, which is why I came here. I could get a job on an oil rig that would pay wonderfully, but I’d feel like a failure. For the first time in awhile, I’m working a job that I studied for in school and am actually enjoying what I do.

Please, help me find an answer, and soon. Please pray for me. I’m getting so desperate. It’s keeping me up at night. I can’t eat because I’m so stressed and worried. I’ve stopped socializing because I am so stressed.

And please, pray for people who are in similar or even worse situations than I am. Trust me, it’s awful.
 
Lord God, I pray for brokenplates1. Please provide for their spiritual and temporal needs. Give them wisdom and knowledge so that they may know the best steps to take in order to solve their current financial dilemma. Please surround them with friends, colleagues, loved ones and family who can be a source of support (moral, financial, spiritual, etc.) for them. May they be able to find gainful employment that pays higher in the field that they studied in school. St. Joseph, please pray for brokenplates1. AMEN.
 
Have you heard of Dave Ramsey? Following his plan has helped our family turn our financial life around. Try reading his book “The Total Money Makeover”. It has helped us to live on less than we make, develop a budget, stick to budget, pay off debt, save for emergencies, retirement etc.
 
Lord, may Brokenplates1 not be ashamed to take any honest job that is offered to him. He is not a failure in your eyes if he keeps faithful to you - no matter what job he takes. Help him to get over his fear of appearing like a failure. Help him to know his worth and dignity as a child of yours. Please help him to get out of debt and grant him peace, strength, courage, deep faith, surrender to your holy will and abandonment to your divine providence… Please meet his spiritual and temporal needs. Amen.
 
Remembering you in my daily prayers. God bless! :console:
