Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, I have plans to return to school. the program start date is December 2nd but in class doesn't begin until the end of January. I had applied for student loans and as it looks they are paying for my tuition at the very start. Awesome good, but they are only giving me 721 dollars per month. Rent is 600. Plus my phone and internet, and I have to travel an hour for school there and back. The money adds up quickly and I still need to buy food. Financially I'm in a horrible situation. I can work on the weekends during school, but it is a physically and mentally consuming program...5 or 6 hours of homework a night...


I don't want to not start the program because if I take myself out of this intake, I will have to reapply, but the admittance average is changing to something I don't have.

I really want to be in this program, I also feel it's where I need to be...

I don't like praying for money, I hate, but I'm in a spot where without it...I don't know what I can do...

I really need a peace in mind about this... I have just two weeks to decide...

My prayers are with you, luv ♥

Pray always and seek His will and purpose for you. When I couldn't find a job after graduating in office admin, I was depressed, felt like I had no purpose. So I prayed to God about it and ..helping animals came up. I wanted to seek a program that would best fit me and would also please and glorify God. So I decided to apply to animal care for next year. Still awaiting admittance letters but I have faith that I'll get in.

It's okay to ask for His assistance regarding money. As Christiankid_leon_ mentioned: as long as it's not for greed then you'll be fine.

Read His word when you can. Most times, for me, I read a few verses or a few chapters and I read something relating to my circumstances. And it's there that I feel Him talking to me and guiding me.

I was in a similar situation where I got distressed when my income couldn't cover my living expenses.
I tried to apply for jobs for extra income, but I couldn't go much as I don't have much spare time after university.

I worried despite I know that I should trust God, my Father who will never abandon me! Regardless, I keep these verses in mind and practice it:
Phil 4:6 [ESV]
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."
Jeremiah 29:11 [NIV]
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Then, I received email from several students asking for private peer tutoring! It is a good pay and not much time required (eg. I don't have to learn new skill, I've learnt it on my previous study, and it's a good practice to keep my memory refreshed on that subject). It's like a miracle of God's perfect supply!
I failed when I depend on my ability to solve my own problem by searching for jobs. When I depend on God, job's offers that suit me so well even come directly to my email!

I know exactly that it is not easy to face that situation, but keep on prayer with thanksgiving, let your request be known to God!
I'll keep you on my prayer too dear heart
