I am in the middle of a lot of problems right now,financial problems that If only I could erase I would. No matter how hard I tried to solve it is just not enough to finish it. Right now, all I really hope is a miracle to come, to pay all my debts and be able to start anew.I'm daydreaming that someone would help me,lend me the money so that I could have my life back. Honestly now, my life is really a mess and the only hope that I have is to receive a miracle. How about you guys have you received a miracle already?

LIfe in itself is a miracle , even you too can get miracles provided you are ready for it ,when it arrives.
I can understand the feelings you are going through , because one or the other time everyone goes through this failure phase ,i mean thats why we are humans ,we tend to make mistakes ,but most imporatantly we need to learn from those mmistakes . I am sure you would have learnt a lot of lessons in the phase you are going through ,if not please learn ,else it would take you even longer time of suffering .
All i can say is that there is miracles ,and be ready for it ,be truly honest to yourself and keep working hard ,give everything to your work.
All the Best
Cheers

I receive miracles everyday, they are there but you have to watch for them, like the guy who back out of a parking space and just misses you. Take note a miracle just happened, recognize it and more will show up. be thankful. The miracle you are waiting for may not happen, but what you can count on is that there are small ones all around, pray and start to notice. You are in your situation for a reason, quit banging your head against the wall sit down, start to write possibility lists of wants and needs, take just one small step each day. I know this sounds trite to you because your needs are now. But look at each moment, you did wake up, first miracle, and go on from there. Blessings

I dont believe in miracles of any kind...I think your best bet is to back up and look at your situation from a different angle..There is ALWAYS a solution to our problems, sometimes several solutions actually...the key is to NOT get hung up on the issue but to be able to look at it from different angles AND to let go of our pride a little too....I know that my husband will get totally bent out of shape if we need money for something and I end up selling some of my stuff..but the reality is, at that time we needed the money and its just stuff...his pride takes a hit when I've done things like that and it shouldnt...having the money was more important than keeping some of my belongings ya know..

Although, I do kinda believe in miracles... I also could not agree with what you have said anymore. You are absolutelty correct, there is always a solution to our problems, whatever they may be.
As humans we can be very rational and logical thinkers and while most of the time it works great for us, sometimes our own thinking can also be or worst liability...sometimes we greatly complicate mattters that are really quite simple, when we are not able or willing to think "outside the box".
Stuff is just stuff... and for me it always helps when I concentrate on the things that I do have in my life and what I am grateful for having.

Well stated Ravenladyj. I couldn't agree more with your perspective. Though I do believe in miracles an have experienced a few in my life. The danger is to do nothing while you wait for something miraculous to happen. It just doesn't work that way.

I do believe in miracles. I believe in people being healed, people turning their lives around, and people in financial trouble getting the help they need. I'm going to pray for you, and although I don't know what is going on with you, I can understand somewhat. This month, I can't even tell you what has happened financially to me. I'm sure you have been struggling just as much as I, if not more so. Events that I had no way of knowing would happen, have happened. I'm trusting the Lord to get me through this. I don't know what will happen, but I'm going to pray for you. I believe prayer works. And like I said, I do believe in miracles. In fact, just last year I received 500 dollars from someone who didn't want me to know their name, but had left me the money at church. I had needed it so badly. I believe it will all work out again. Maybe not with 500 dollars... lol

My eldest daughter had been there five years ago.I have pictured her like drowning in the middle of a quick sand.I have always imagined her of holding her hands telling her to hold on.Debts after debts have come after her.I even almost lost the property I lend her to solve her debt problems.If you believe in miracles,it can help you.Every night before going to sleep Pray this lines with your heart"The infinite power within me is taking away all the burdens in my life.Luck will soon come.When graces comes it pours".Don't lose hope.Always ask for God's help.Imagine you are tired of walking in the middle of a dessert and God came to help you just like the story of foot prints in the sand.I am more than happy for my daughter now.In the wheel of life after being down,now she is on top.Don't lose hope.

Thank you po for sharing your daughter's story, I will remember this story and the prayer. By reading your story, I realized that this too shall pass and I can't wait to be on the top just like your daughter now. Honestly, sometimes when I'm really really tired and thought that I couldn't do anything anymore I just said that "Lord please take over" and amazingly I get by. Thank you so much, I'm having more faith because of your stories. God bless us all.

I do believe that miracles happen. The birth of my daughter is mine. I had been trying for 5 and half years to conceive; we tried every possible medical treatment, I had surgeries, you name it all to no avail.
I fell pregnant one month after I threw my hands up in the air and said to God, "I can't do this anymore if I am not meant to have children so be it, but please take the pain away, I just want to be happy" I left it in God's hands and we conceived naturally we had no medical assistance whatsoever after years of gruelling fertility treatments.
Take heart because you never know when things will turn around. My mother in law lived on the other side of the country and she was terminally ill, we had no money to visit her for what may have been the last time. We didn't know what to do, my husband had just started a new job and we were at a loss as to how he could visit his dying mother. Out of the blue upon doing my banking I discovered a large sum deposited into our account from his old work. We had no idea they owed him anything, my husband phoned his old employer and although they couldn't explain why, they confirmed the money was indeed his.
It's been four months and no one has asked for it back! Needless to say we managed to take the trip, if that's not a miracle, what is? I hope things work out for you. Keep the faith.

Hello guys who had been reading this discussion, I just want to share that today I receive a miracle. Bo Sanchez, (www.bosanchez.ph)a very powerful and great religious leader here in the Philippines, sent me his latest book for free.I joined his site last year and I regularly receive his emails entitled God whispers. The title of the book is "How To Live A Life of Miracles", isn't it amazing? I'm writing this after receiving it and I can't really express how happy and in awe I am. God is really good and more miracles for us all.

I do believe in miracles. I put all of my trust in God and somehow all of my bills are paid and everything has been the way it should be. Many around me say I am a walking miracle because God healed me of cancer in less time than the doctors estimated. Put trust in God that he will provide for you.

you are not alone my friend. I too am waiting for such a miracle to happen to me. Meanwhile, I will do what ever I can to reduce my problems.
So searching around on the net to make that few more dollars is gonna help a lot.
Just sitting and moping all day is not gonna help. When you make the effort to do better, and you want to do better hard enough, that miracle will happen to you.
Have faith and you will get what you ask for.
At least, that is what I am working on. So, be assured that there is some one else out there who is building that faith for that miracle to happen.

I have received a miracle before. Many in fact. That really changed my life for the better and made me closer to Jahovah evermore. Sometimes things happen that we do not understand at the time. But prayer and trust in Jahovah is what is needed. I mean look at the birds do they worry? Since i put all my trust in Jahovah my life is almost completely stress free. Even in my period of homelessness. I maintained my faith and didnt stress. I had his blessing even then. Today i live in a house and the person that caused me to be homeless is now homeless. That is Jah justice.

I really believe that there is miracle but we may not come to know that how it works. Even I am facing the same problems of money and I expect some miracle should happen, I pray to god every day to take out of my problems and lead a good life but it is so far that I dont know but one day the day will come so that I will be free of tensions and have a happy life. Keep faith in God and he will surely help you out of your problems and will show the source how to get rid of your problem and to be happy. Be tension free leave in the hands of God he will show a miracle one day.

I have dreaming for some to help me out for along time and keep hoping it'll happen! I'm sick of struggling! If we both get some one or someones to help us out that would be a miracle!

Im in a position similar to what you are, im in hard debts, and after calculated, i cant spend a single cent for 3 years to pay off my debts!! but instead of hoping for a miracle, the best way is to bite the bullet, and pay off slowly. I have prayed, i have buy lottery, nothing works out, face the fact.. you need to pay it off.. treat this as a hard lesson learnt on why you are in such problems, and you will find that its a valuable lesson that you wouldnt made in future.

I'm doing everything to be able to pass this phase in my life, working harder, saving to be able to pay more debts, praying hard and yes sometimes I do buy Lotto tickets. I think my miracle will be a friend who will help me or a ticket to win, seriously I'm learning a lot while I'm in this situation and the replies here help me a lot to be stronger. Praying for everybody's blessings here and thank you for your word of wisdom..

I advise you'd better take a record of your count everyday. I have experienced the awkward of short of money, I had some loans from my parents and friends and even that, I can still feel the life stress.
After that periord, I have been learning to manage money, in other words,I take records of each financial volatility and every one week, I will look up these records and find which expenditure should not be necessary, then I would overcome difficulities to correct this mistake.Now my financial is much better and it's no need to look up the count records everyweek, one month is alright.
Hope you have a good day!

I do believe in miracles. And my proof is things that happen in my own life. It's one of those things you cannot explain to others. You either see them or you don't. I believe in the whole pay forward thing, karma, what goes around come around, etc. Call it what you want, but they are all true.
Have faith and keep going, because no matter what we are fortunate to always have a tomorrow to start new.

Well, we are receiving miracles every now and then. Not the miracle to get rich to pay our debts in an instant (because we too have lots of debts to pay) but God has provided us enough of what we need everyday. Since my hubby is in business, our income depends upon our customers. There were times that hubby is so worried because he ha no more customers to expect for that week which means no income also but then God provides. It is a miracle when the phone just ring and somebody on the line ask of an estimate of a job. since my hubby is in a construction business, we just live by every customer that would ask him to do a job. God is always there to give a sort of way for us to overcome our financial problems.

Miracles do happen. My entire life came crashing around me on 1/28 when DH collapsed at 10pm. He had a stroke and had to have a 4 hour brain surgery to remove a blood clot. Saturday, the Doctors were able to stop sedating him and today his breathing tube was removed because he can breathe on his own. We're still looking at a 5-12 month recovery period. He will need speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. Our 27th anniversary is Thursday and I am grateful that I still have my dear husband. That's my miracle.

Dear Bekindcaty, I would say miracles only come to the one of hard working, whatever he is doing, only when he tried his best (not to do daydreaming on bed), miracles will happen. I heard that someone got rich through buying lottory, but that's few, I tried that only to find I loss more money, maybe not everyone is so lucky. I find a job and tried my best to do it, now I have a very good payment all out of my hard working. And also, I never borrow money beyond my ability to payoff.
