Hi people, I have been unemployed for 3 months and had no savings or anything to tide me over, no unemployment, nothing. I sold what little furniture I had for 290.00 to make a car payment, was evicted from my apartment and moved in with my sister and her kids in another town. I kept a log of my job search while she supplied my gas. I applied for 79 jobs in two months and contacted 100's of places. I knew that I was illegal as heck because I couldn't, so I didn't, pay my car insurance or car payments or anything else. I was hoping and praying that something would come up to bring me out of this hole and I would be able to play catch-up. I am a trained professional with many years of experience in my field and I was applying for part time this and that such as: janitor, dishwasher at a nursing home and even Burger King. I have a stack of denial letters ten inches deep, even from Burger King! Everyone around me is baffled, incredulous and shaking their heads. My sister said that if I didn't live with her and she didn't see it first hand, she would be inclined to think that I was exagerating my efforts. She said, whenever she really wanted a job, she got one, no problemo. I was so excited because I had an interview scheduled for today, for a part time position with the State. It would be a good job with a future. I was beyond excited and spent all day getting myself ready for this interview and my neighbor gave me $5.00 for gas because it's 20 miles out of town. I suddenly woke up at 3Am, looked outside and they re-possessed my car! Just when things were looking brighter too. I am and have been , beyond stuck. I am stripped down to nothing and no resources and I literally do not have a cent to my name and am completely dependent upon my sister who has a hard time making ends meet too. I really hate that. Ok, I really need a breakthrough, I need prayer. This isn't just bad luck and circumstances, bad economy, this has been warfare and I've known that all along. I'm not down and I'm not out and I'm not feeling sorry for myself...I'm tired of the fight. Pray for my miracle breakthrough because that is what is next, you know. It will be glaringly obvious for all to see, that it is God who provides, when He shows up. Please pray for that event to happen soon...very soon. Yours in Christ, Ronda

There are definitely blessings to be obtained from brokeness. I have been there, so I know When God moves, it will be apparent to all that it was not coincidence, luck, or just a fluke.

Father God, we lift up your daughter to you in this, her time of need. Lord, You know the needs of your people. Nothing is too hard for You, Father. Lord, your daughter needs a breakthrough in her life now! We come together to bind the influences of the enemy. Lord, we give you the praise and the glory and we know that You will bless your daughter with a job beyond what even she imagines and her life will be what it should be, and even more! In Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen and Amen!

IT SOUNDS ALL TOO FAMILIAR. MY HUSBAND LOST HIS JOB AND WE WERE 11 DAYS FROM FORECLOSURE OF OUR HOME AND OUR LIVES WERE TURNED UPSIDEDOWN.

IN ADVERSITY, GOD CALLS US TO DEPEND ON HIM AND ASK, SEEK AND WE SHALL FIND. YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS "WHAT IS GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE, YOUR FUTURE AND HIS WILL"

PLEASE CONTINUE TO HAVE FAITH IN OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, BECAUSE IF IT WEREN'T FOR "I TRUST IN YOU JESUS" WE WOULD NOT BE WERE WE ARE TODAY.

MY HUSBAND, "IF IT WEREN'T FOR GOD'S WILL BE DONE" AND MY HUSBAND WAS "NOT" LAID OFF FROM MARSH & McLENNEN, HE WOULD HAVE PERISHED IN THE "9/11" TERRORIST ACT.

WE MAY NOT SEE GOD'S FULL PICTURE, DURING THE TIME OUR "PAINFUL" JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE, BUT PLEASE CONTINUE TO KNOW GOD LOVES YOU AND GOD WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN

WE ARE KEEPING YOU IN OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS, WE ASK GOD TO SEND HIS ANGELS AROUND YOU TO PUT YOU IN THE PLACE AND TIME NECESSARY TO GIVE YOU THAT JOB OF YOUR "NEW" LIFE.

DON'T LET EVIL STEAL YOUR JOY, YOUR SPIRIT THAT ONLY GOD YOUR FATHER, WHO GAVE HIS ONLY SON FOR YOU, PULL YOU AWAY FROM FOCUSING ON WHAT "GOD'S PLAN" REALLY IS. DON'T MISS IT. GOD'S EYE IS ON THE SPARROW, AND I KNOW HE'S WATCHING OVER YOU.

AMEN - GOD BLESS YOU.
