Jeremiah 29:11-13:
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
I'm with davevk, this is my FAVORITE scripture! I know money's tight, but if you can get a copy at the library or something, read "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer. Do not let the devil defeat you by making you think God cannot or will not help you. He will. All of us, regardless of what our circumstances are, have been in a state of mind where we think there is no light at the end, no hope, no way out, and that the worst is going to happen. Just remember that you are not alone, and God is there to give you help. Have Faith and it will happen.
God bless and good luck... you'll be in my prayers tonight.

Hi Dave. Don't be afraid. You are not going to be homeless because you are praying and GOD can hear you and HE answers prayers. Keep praying and keep having faith in him. When you pray, believe that it has been done and thank him for your blessing. He blesses me all of the time so I know that he hears and answers prayers.
You cannot have faith and worry at the same time. Take those worries and give them to God and enjoy your family.
Take care Dave. DeeDee.

Dave,
I am new to all of this so bare with me. God tests us all of the time!!
David you willing to put your faith in God and trust in him no matter what happens? I see you are in Southern California, what did you do for employment and what is keeping you from getting another job. In your E-mail you keep using the word hopeless. You are alive; I am assuming your wife loves you and your children also. Have you attempted to refinance the house? Do not ignore the problem it will not go away, call your bank Monday if you have not already. David file bankruptcy if that’s what it takes. My wife’s best friend has panic attacks to the point she can’t keep a job, she had to sell her home. My point is this, credit can be fixed in time, homes can be replaced, do not get caught up in all the material things. Family is what is important not your credit score or the stuff you accumulate. People who judge others by what they have are not your friend and are suffering from there own short comings. Stop panicking and formulate a plan and follow through. I am 44 and live in a one bedroom apartment with my wife. I do security for a living. I have only been at my current job for two years and two months and my wife cant work do to chronic pain and with my temper I never know when my last day will be. What ever is going to happen is going to happen. Maybe this is Gods way of letting you know he has other plans for you. Smile that’s an order.

Bg Dave,I am new to this community, and I am saving fofr this program, becasue I just feel in my gut that it is the key wihich will unlock freedom for me. For your situation, nothing is hopeless and helpless when you reach out your hand for help, and I feel you are doing that. Please do not give up. Each one of us that are here, I feel as though as long as we do not give up, can find the keys that we need to unlock the prison of anxiety, depression, and fear in our lives. You sound like you have more going fore you than you realize. Financial setbacks come and go for everyone, and you can and will get through this. It is not the end, maybe it is the beginning of the rest of your life, a new and wonderful life in which you can become a more whole and happy person with the help of this program, and others who have been through the same things you have. I am praying for you and your family, and your situation right now, please keep going, please do not give up, for you and your family, most importantly, for you. God Bless you and your family. Stay Strong......

Hey Dave,
I've prayed for you while reading about your situation and I'll continue to pray for a speedy turnaround. I watched Joel Osteen this morning and he said "Don't focus on how big your problem is but focus on how big your God is". Keep this in mind and I know he'll see you and your family thru this. As others have said, "You're not alone" we're right here with you and for you. Hang in there. God Bless and keep you and your family.
Peace be with You,
Rocky

Hello BGdave, I have not posted here in quite some time but when I read your post today I had to respond. The sermon at my church this morning was about going throught he storms of life . The focus was on Isaiah 43;v2 and Matthew 14;v22-27.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
When you pass through the rivers, they shall not overflow you:
When you pass through the fire , you will not be burned; Isa 43v2
(notice the Lord did not say that you would not go through it , but his promise is that he will be with you when you do).
and in Matthew, when you read verse 25 , notice how it says Jesus came to them in the fourth watch of the night The fourth watch is the darkest hours of the night. He came to them in the darkest hours ,( Cool eh) I love that.
Bgdave trust in the Lord, He is our Rock to stand on .
God bless.

Guess Satan is messing with me now or it's just bad luck. My car was broken into last night and now I have a broken window to fix and it's raining. I don't have extra money laying around to do this. God why is this happening to me? It really makes my depression go through the roof. I couldn't sleep most of the night from the anger it created feeling violated by the jerk that broke into my car. I ended up staying in bed all day back in deep depression. I know it won't help but I don't feel like I can help it. The hopeless feelings are so overwhelming.

Ok, you win your cursed!!! Just kidding it is Philip from this morning.
I hade my old car broken into about six years ago, they cracked my steering Column but never got the car. My ability to quote scripture is not that good, so if there is anyone who can ad to what I am about to attempt to tell Dave please do so if you would please. There was a person in the bible that satin made a proposition to God. If God would allow him to be tormented, before he was finished making him suffer he would curs Gods name. He gave him boils all over his body and just tormented him with all sorts of thing unfortunately I forgot most of them. Point is no mater what was dun to him he never lost his faith in God. You half to give over control to him and trust he will help you. I talk to God like I am talking to you, well with out the computer. You still have the car, put a garbage bag over the window and take every thing you do not wont stolen out of it. Let go he is the captain not you.

Dave,
It's not selfish to pray for a financial blessing for you and your family. Try to handle one thing and one day at a time. Pray "God give us this day our daily bread" and He will provide what you need for that day to sustain you. Don't turn away from Him. Many people come back only when they have relied too much on themselves and God is the only person left. Build a relationship with Him now and watch the blessings, every one big and small, pour into your life. Don't feel sorry for yourselves. Pick your head up and trudge on. We will all be praying for you and your family. Beverly.
P.S. I think the guy in the last message might have been Job???? But Job's story would be a good one for you to google and read up on.
