So Desperate

I am in tears right now. I have prayed and prayed. My finances are so bad right now. I can't afford to feed my sweet babies. I've had expired tags on my car now for months and I can't afford to buy new ones and I pray every time I drive that no one notices. I can only afford my house payment and am $100 dollars short of making my car payment. My utilities are going to be shut off. I have a job that doesn't pay much and requires me to drive a lot and I can't afford any Gas. I just started a second job, but it's overnight and in the morning when I come home, I have to get some sleep and with my husband at work, my poor babies are unsupervised and needing so much to be done for them, they are all so little. A month ago I was going to take a job as a phone sex operator, it's good money, but I felt that the Lord wouldn't want me to do that. I didn't do it. What can I do? I pray, I cry. Why? They are going to starve. There is no one that can help us. My husband and I both come from poor families, I've still tried to borrow money. OH GOD. WHY? I'm trying to be good and faithful and I didn't take that sinful job. Isn't there anyone that can help here on earth? I've also been praying to battle this depression that is overtaking me. I think about dying every moment. I am so lonely, I feel so isolated.I never see my husband, we both work 2 jobs, I don't have time to spend with my friends.OH GOD send me an angel to help me feed my babies. My son is upstairs crying out to get something to eat. What I have to feed him isn't much, and he can't help being finicky about eating what is there, he's only 4. I need your mercy. PLEASE LORD. My sweet babies, what can I do? I need gas, groceries, dog food and so much more. What am I going to do without water? Electricity?Please don't forget us Lord, please send someone to help. You know never in my life have I taken anything that wasn't my own, or been given things easily. I've always worked so hard for the things we've needed. What little I've had I've always shared with those who've needed it as much or even more. And now, I worry that my already delicate mental state will be shattered by the lack of sleep and abuse that my body is taking for this new job. But I need it desperately. I've never been so weary, so lonely or so in need. OH DEAR LORD. HELP. HELP. I can't ask any more, I can't work any harder. The only thing keeping me alive is knowing that suicide is a sin and that my children need me. But how long can I tell myself that? How long will it be before I can't even think straight and I don't know what I'm doing? PLEASE.

Hi Linda!

Is your husband still in the Air Force? If he is there should be some kind of help through the Air Force Wives... I do not know what the name of it is but you can call the base and ask the operator if there is a food bank for those in need through the base.

There should also be a food bank somewhere in the city you live in.

Call the local welfare office or a church in the area (one of the larger churches). Both of these resources should have a list of Food Banks in your area.

Look in your phone book and locate the Salvation Army, they have food, clothing, housing and utility help available for those in need. I am assured by Major Marrows of the Salvation Army here in Tacoma WA that your needs will be met if you call them. She does not have an 800 number, she would need to have the city and state you live in in order to contact a branch near you and send help to you.

Chidren's Protective Services = 1-800-422-7517 CPS has its faults but they are able to help you more quickly than I can since I was able to find an 800 number for you.

You can call your local WIC office. Your children are still young enough that they can get food through the WIC program.

Look in the phone book and call a local Women's Shelter, talk to the person who answers, they should be able to help you.

Father, Linda and her Family are in need of a Provider, be that Provider Lord and meet the needs of food and shelter. Send an Angel to bring them food today. Send them provision for their utilities and car needs. Forgive her sin and cover her with the Blood of Jesus so You can hear her cries for help.

Jesus, be Faith for Linda so that she can stand trusting the Lord God Almighty for her help and provision. Hold her and support her as an husband holds his beloved. Shield her from this storm and bring her and her Family safe to the shore of Peace and Rest in You!

Holy Spirit, work in her life to teach her trust in the Lord and establish her Faith in Jesus.

In the Name of Jesus I bind over to Jesus the spirits of poverty, want, fear and dispair that are tormenting Linda and her Family, I loose them off of Linda and her Household. I speak provision, full tummies and peace over them.

Thank You Father! AMEN!
