I only have enoguh money to get me through this month. After that, I'm broke. I still have student loans, and though my parents will pick up my slack, I don't want them to. I'm thrity one years old, I should handle my own life by now! But every time I struggle to take one step forward, life pushes me ten miles back!

God does provide, He is there. So where is He when I need Him most? I just... I don't know what to do?

>>I don't know what to do?

In your circumstance, it is clear what to do. Seek and gain employment as soon as possible ... with determination.

Don't let this happen ...

You are waiting on God while God is waiting on you.

I appreciate your advice, but I have been looking diligently, then later desperately, for four years. I have no result for my effort! And I really don't understand at this point why God is waiting on me when I'm hurting and still moving.

You might go a lot further if you don't give yourself sympathy. I've heard so many people say that finding a job is hard, but I knew for a fact that they would do a few rounds, to their favorite spots, and give up for a few weeks or month. Decisions say what we want most, but if you really do want to get a job, look throughout the entire day without break, for days. The odds will be with you.

UndeadParagon, I have been doing exactly that. Every day I spend all the time I can muster to apply. I've even applied to almost anything that's not fast food or janitorial and I still have no results.

You are not alone ,I am struggling so much financially that I just wanna give up myself...At least you do have family support..Maybe they can help you with employment ideas you may not have thought of....I on the other hand are responcible for seven people and 13 animals and the stress is killing me...Sounds like your family is there for you so thank them and let them know you appreciate all they do and then ask for their help in fixing your situation...They love you,,you are not alone.take care
