Debt

I woke up at 10 AM this morning. I forgot to take my medication last night so I didn't sleep well, and a debt collector decided to wake me at 8 AM this morning. I was pretty perturbed and told them I don't have any money right now.

Then, I applied for an increased line of credit on one credit card, and a new card that was offered through another one, with a new line of credit.

I really don't want to use credit for anything, but right now I feel as if I have no choice.

I am waiting to hear back on my credit increase, but I was approved for the new card, so I don't need the increase on my other one. However, I won't see the new card for 2 weeks. It wouldn't help me if I needed the credit today.

Today, I would owe $980 on my car rental. I need to make $367 today to have enough to pay it - unless I can get that line of credit increased.

God's got this.

But, I feel good knowing I at least have new credit next month, and if I need it for the rental after 2 weeks from now.

I'm going to get ready to go to work, then go by the mission to eat.

I may not have a boss, but my masters right now are the loan companies. I have to work.

Lord, You are the God of finances. You know my needs.

I ask You to look down and touch those who approve my credit rating, so it may be increased and I can afford my rental better.

I ask that You make today profitable, both for You and for me, and that You get my car back to me as quickly as possible.

Be with my children and my lists.

I am tired Lord. I am weary. Please send a breakthrough! But, I know that whatever debt I incur on this earth is nothing compared to the debt Jesus has already paid!

In Jesus's Holy Name, I pray, Amen!
