I keep facing rejection and I'm tired of it. I can't find a job, will soon be unemployed with mounting debt. My car keeps having problems that cost more and more. I have health costs that are enormous (at least to me). And every job I apply for, I get a "thank you but no". I see my peers getting jobs that I apply for.
This also pains me...the job I work for now isn't hiring me back. But I have worked many extra hours w/o getting paid. When I do get paid for the hours I'm contracted to work, it often comes late or is incomplete. I really believe God won't leave me stranded and completely destitute but my level of comfort may be (and seems like it will be) diminished.
I try to think positively and don't want to doubt God, but I am really struggling to keep my head above water. I just felt like I needed to vent and not drag my friends and family down with unnecessary complaining. So for those who read this, thanks.
I am so sorry that you are going through all this. I went through a situation about 10 years ago involving a job (I lost it). I knew it was comming, and there was nothing I could do about it (believe me, I tried everything). It nearly destroyed me. I started having panic attacks, and it depleted almost all of my self-esteem and self-worth.
A friend of mine at the time (who I truly believe to be an angel sent from God) really helped save me emotionally and spiritually. She turned me on to an author named Iyanla Vanzant. She has written a lot of books about getting through tough times. I think Faith in the Valley was my favorite, along with One Day My Soul Just Opened Up. (She has other titles that may appeal to you).
I am glad you choose to voice your delima's to us. I also hope you consider talking to your family about things. They may want to help share your burden in a sense. I hope things work out for you.
Oh - loosing that job turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened in my life. There was a time when I didn't know what I was going to do, then I came home on a Saturday with a message to call someone about a job. I did, and the rest was history.
