I am a father of a 4 beautiful small children whom I love very much, and I am the only one working. Business has been down and I have borrowed to pay bills. I have come to the end of the road and do not see any hope to of how I could pay against these borrowings and the new bills that keep pouring in. I feel suicidal and I am extremely depressed.

Please pray for a supernatural miracle so that I may come out of this debt and be able to pay the bills and only God can help.

'He performeth the thing that is appointed for me...' Job 23:14
Sometimes God permits things, other times He actually plans them. Either way, He's got a definite plan in mind. In the midst of unspeakable heartache, Job said, 'He performeth the thing that is appointed for me.' When you realise that God has 'appointed' something for you, it changes how you see it. It's like flying. On the ground your view is limited, but 10,000 feet up everything looks different. Now you're seeing what God sees: 'the big picture'! The Bible says that after Job came through his trials he was blessed with twice as much as he had before (Job 42:10). Does that mean if you lose a 30,000 GBP-a-year job you'll get back a 60,000 GBP-a-year one? Or that your chequebook will always balance, or your car never break down, or your health never fail? No, sometimes God rewards our faith with things we can't measure in monetary value - such as relationships, joy, character, peace you didn't have before, a fresh sense of purpose, protection from danger, favour with others, a clearer understanding, more compassion, and intimacy with Him. What value would you place on those? Here are three things you need to keep in mind at all times. First, God wants you to trust Him in whatever you're going through (Psalm 138:8). Second, when it's your responsibility, God expects you to fulfil it (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Third, in order to bless you, He will sometimes move in ways that are hard to understand or explain (Psalm 25:4). Why? So that when the answer comes there'll be no doubt about Who gets the credit

Dear JW123,
Thank you so much for the trouble taken and your kind words. Please pray for me to have such faith so as to trust and hold on to His promises. God Bless

Dear Lord, please help Jerome in his situation. Please lift the cloud of depression from him and let him feel the power of your grace and wisdom. Lord, you know that I have felt similarly and you know that I love you and continue to seek your assistance.
Please God, let us see the right and best way to approach our difficulties with money and security. Help us to know how to get out of the mess and not to despair or lose hope when all seems lost. Lord, we know that you have a plan for us and want the best for your children, so why are we doubting? Why do we lose faith that you care for us? Help us Lord, as we continue through the difficulties and let us know that we are never alone.
We thank you for your healing grace and your holy words to us. Let us never doubt, and please help us through the storm. We ask you humbly and with great faith in your love for us,
Amen.
"Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions." Mark 11: 22-26

Jerome perhaps looking for a part-time job after you finish your regular job during the week, or on the weekends may also help you to pay up those bills. I believe God helps those that help themselves, so step out in faith and look for extra work, and you'll see how God can bless you for it. Just an advice for I have worked two jobs when in time of need, and my husband at one time worked three jobs just to get out of a bad financial situation.
Lord give wisdom to Jerome to find a way out of the situation he is in, and may he learn from this so he will never have this problem again. Protect him and his family and provide for them as you guide him to where you want him to be. Have your perfect will be done in this situation, his life and his family's. I pray in Jesus name, amen.

Check out "The Total Money Makeover" or read stories of success in achieving Debt Freedom on http://www.daveramsey.com. I believe that having a plan while reading other individuals' successes while in similar situations can offer you the hope and the motivation you also need to succeed. Quite frankly, I have been in a similar boat and have worked hard to climb my way out. In a few months, I will be sending off my last payment and its a great feeling! You will get there too...
