God hear you, and he knows what you are in need of. Praise him, thank him for all the things that has been done for you. When the praises goes up the blessings come down.
I am in the same situation you are in. I do not have a job, can not find one, having trouble paying my bills, but I have learned, that stressing yourself out is not going to help.
think of all avenues you have available for you. I have looked up social service agencies, ways to get food stamps etc. I have not yet applied for anything, because I have faith that something will come soon, when I least expect it, that is when it will happen.
Keep the faith, do not give up, think positive and do not stress.
I am praying for you, please pray for me. We will get through this, watch and see.

I'll be praying for you as well. Why not apply, though? God may be giving you that interest to look that stuff up because he wants you to use those resources. There is no shame in that. Take the resources and continue to look for work, etc. Who knows, maybe through applying, etc you will be in the right place at the right time where God wants you later on. Apply!

Keep that faith, then when the food stamps come in, you can thank God for them and for looking out for you in your time of need. Yes you will get through it, everybody does, whether they ask God for help or not. But, if you leave God out of it and quit waiting for him to come and save you, you can get a lot more done and get out of a bad situation sooner. Get the social services you need, keep trying for that job, quit wasting time asking god for help and get out there and help yourself! Take care of business and you will feel better sooner.

I think that this is one of those situations where all looks like doom, but then God comes through and in the end you think "Man, why did I even worry??" ;) Here's some good verses I think of when I am in this situation, I hope they help you too.
Psalm 55:22Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will not let the righteous fall.
Mark 11:24 - 25There for I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have recieved it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your father in heaven may forgive you and your sins.
Phillippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Jesus Christ
I will be praying for you, and don't worry, no matter what happens God is still there for you!!! You are NEVER alone!! Much love!

Dont be foolish...there is no god...
If there is any god why would he put you in such a situation?...so that you can worship him, beg him for give you what you had?...sounds cruel to me...
My Advice...
Write all your problems on a Piece of paper....and alternatives right aside
Money,
- Minimum amt. required every month to survive?
- Friends, Relatives...see who can lend you?
- Savings if any, try to reduce your expenses and find a conservative way to spend money
Rent,
- Try talking out your problem with your landlord, ask for a time frame...a realistic time frame...tell him the truth
Job,
What are your specialisations?
Start looking for a job...
contact everyone you know be honest and open about ur situation... something might come up.
Project a time for yourself to get a job and be specific on targets
House,
Try to relocate to a cheaper rent house....
I have been in a very much the same situation in past...just a few months back...
Problems are always temporary... specially monetary problems...you might have to drop down from your present social status...but do not worry... everything will be okay....
MOST IMPORTANT....
Don't just wait and pray ...it will not help...it never does...
I had a 6 month rent outstanding to be paid...
Was jobless for 4 months...
But now everything is fine... i am back on my own... no loans, no credit cards, no pending payments, nothing outstanding...
I worked very hard... my friends helped me for couple of months, my relatives helped me couple of months... I returned all their money and our relations got even more stronger...
GOD never helped me... All my friends and relatives also do not believe in God...but they helped me out of Humanity...
If God wanted to help...why would he ever create current situation in the world...
Why osama bin laden?...why Al qaeda... why George Bush... Why north korea... why so much financial crisis...?
No offense...but its time to stand up and fight the time... dont wait for some god to help... try humans instead ... people whom you can see..
Thanks Sid

I'm soooo sorry you're in this situation.
God is there. God has a plan. We don't always understand that he is looking out for us when such things happen but then sometime later, maybe even years we may say "if that hadn't happened..." followed by something very positive in our life.
I am praying for you!!
Have you tried just being upfront with your fears with your landlord? Maybe your landlord could even give you a job to help work off your back rent. Ask.
Confide in someone at your church or a social outreach program. What country are you in?
Have you watched 'The Secret'? It's very inspiring. Message me if you need a copy.
Instead of feeling desperate... try to concentrate on being open. Be open to goodness and it will find you. Be open to God's instruction for your next step and he will show you.

Don't look to God for help. All the help you need is right inside you! Look around, make some arrangements, DO SOMETHING! don't quit on yourself and don't expect help from God, your actions alone will get you out of any mess your in...but you have to do it! good luck.

I don't want to sound offensive to anyone here - but the last entity to rely on is god (big or little G). This is not to say don't pray for strength, if you find it helps then by all means do. But use that strength to get yourself up.
I've been in bad places before (I'm in a bad one now, not money-bad - actually money-bad was easier to deal with) and the best thing to do it look at how you can get out of it. You say you are late on the rent - see your local equivalent to the Citizens Advice Bureau [ http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ ].
It sounds like you are worried about your job. Have you spoken to you manager, and again the Citizens Advice Bureau?
Finally food. I've been in that place. Netto and 5p noodles, and when I was feeling rich a pack 12p fig rolls and 50p odd-flavoured unidentifiable meat.
