So I'm new to this site and figured I'd post about some problems I'm having. Number 1 since my college didn't give me the proper knowledge about dropping classes I now owe them almost $1200 and can't take any classes until I pay it. Number 2 I have no money and a lot of trouble finding a job right now since I also don't have to money to afford my own car. Number 3 is the worst one. My dad has been out of work for quite a while and was taken to court recently and given an eviction notice since we couldn't afford to pay our rent for a few months so there's a chance I will be homeless soon. There's only one chance we can possible keep the house and avoid a pretty awful future that may put us either on the streets or in really awful living conditions in horrible area that involves a complicated legal action we're trying to work out. I live in NJ not too far from Camden (one of the worst cities in the US), so I really do not want to end up there and there is a chance it could happen. By the way I'm also only 21. I don't understand why all this is happening to me. Someone give me something of substance rather than the cliche, typical things people always say. They don't affect me or do anything for me. My life has never been amazing, but this year just hit me like a sledgehammer. I appreciate any support and prayers because I need them big time. Thanks.
 
Hi mikedrums and welcome to CF.net. I'm not understanding your comment about a cliché and other things people say, but we can offer prayer for you. It is certain you are going through the trial of your faith as we read of in 1 Peter 1:7 and that is one of the ways God works His will in us. And then 1 Peter 4:12, "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you." A modern solution is a cliché brought forth by Comedian Steve Harvey when he says: "Don't Trip... He Ain't Through with Me Yet."

Dear Father, please bring Your wisdom and grace to this young man, and lift him above circumstance and set his feet on stable ground. Help him to know Your will for him and establish the walk with You that You desire. Thank You Father and I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
 
Hi mikedrums. I am praying for you.
I've been through it all myself several times and somehow miraculously, he's brought me through it everytime!
Don't give up hope, he won't let you down.
 
WOW mikedrums Sound like a lot of problems. God and His Word are not clichés... He is your best friend and He knows your heart/needs. At 65 years ups and downs have happened, only through looking back could I see His Mighty hand. He does not leave us ....

Some folks will pray for you online here, some will pray privately. Our God already knows your needs...
 
Thank you everyone. I'll find out soon if we're able to keep the house. I hope we can and I also hope my dad and both find jobs soon because I really want to save money to pay off my school and start taking classes again. I make a little bit right now teaching drum lessons at my house, but literally 100% of that goes towards utilities and basic needs. Money is the a great thing and a horrible thing. It's great since money can feed starving people and fund research towards awful diseases and such, but also the worst thing because it's what puts people in horrible positions in the first place and I'm finding that out the hard way now. We've had financial problems before, but nothing of this like. We've sold so many of our things just to try to survive and still have a chance of losing our home. All while I see my friends and acquaintances from high school ready to graduate college and move on with their lives and here I am stuck. It's pretty discouraging honestly. I feel like music is the only thing that's kept me going and actually one of my favorite bands to listen to when I feel down is a band called For Today. Amazing christian metal band. Probably a little heavy for most of you, but I think you'd like their lyrics. Anyway I really appreciate all the prayers. During the worst time of my life it's nice to see there are good people out there.
