Hi, I don't quite know where to begin but here goes, . . .
Like most people, I have my problems. Well, I am living paycheck to paycheck right now. There is no family to help out financially. I am a receptionist and am trying to earn more money. Meanwhile, my car is ten years old and barely works. I just got into my first accident and it is expensive. $350 to fix the minimum which is just fine because it's an old car. I can't afford a new one and my isn't great since my college years. I can handle that, I always have.
But do to the accident, I have to come up with money I don't have. Plus the brakes need about $200 worth of service.
God has been faithful 24 hours a day, and I love him sooo much and I have grown so far. The world is new to me now. I can't wait to wake up and learn about Him through his Word. But yes, I worry about these things. Then sometimes (last couple of weeks) this gives me anxiety. I just feel so alone like no one can help me. I live in a bad area of Mpls, and just want to get my life going and make a difference to just break even. I don't need anything fancy, I just want to not worry so much.
My dream is to suport myself full-time as a magician. Right now I do about two to three shows every couple months. I am starting to advertise but is expensive and word of mouth just isn't enough.
I believe in myself and I know that only through God's grace will I acomplish this.
I am just tired of worrying and waking up scared and stuff. I guess, it's things like, if my car breaks down (as it soon very well might) I can't make it to work to support myself for those days until I find a solution. And then, I just don't have the money to do anything but get by barely. I can't afford to fix everything right now either. This will change in the next couple months with God's grace. But I am scared. My light is out in front and I can't change it until the car is reparied because of the accident. I can't afford that for a couple weeks as is. Anyway (thanks for listening so far) I need help and I don't have any family or friends that can. I feel so alone and scared. I just want to break even.
My prayer request is this. I know that there are those out there that have it WAY worse than me. I thank God every day that I have the small apt. that I do. And the car.
But I am anxious and started to become hopeless. I will make it through. But please pray for God to open doors to me to get new work. To find breaks for me to find ways to get the money to fix my car ( or get a new one). PLease pray that answers are forthcoming to meet my finanacial needs. And please pray that God floods me with love and takes away my fear and chronic worry. I thank you so much for your prayers. Could some of you let me know you have prayed for me? I would love to hear that you have been kind enough to read this whole thing and pray for me.
Bless you, and thank you.
Praise our Lord.
Nathan
