How long will a spell of misfortune last?

I feel that I am in the grip of a strange misfortune since a considerably long spell of time.For all these days nothing is turning in my favor.Moreover I am in the situation of being pestered by creditors.Faith in God and prayers directed in all earnestness seem to be exercises in futility.I could not find possible solutions to my present crisis from astrological notions.I am giving a serious thought as to what exactly might be going wrong in my case?

I think that the big reason for being pestered by creditors is the inability to pay debts. This is a sure sign of misfortune. The happy thing is that it can be corrected and reversed by not going into debt. This is what I did and I no longer owe anyone any money. Cheers!!

I think it would serve you best to keep a cool head and just pass the days. We all go thru such spells in our lives. My husband, and therefore me, had his last bad spell from July 2006 and it ended in May 2008! Yes, two years in which I have seen him turn to a mental and physical wreck. Two years when I watched from the sidelines coz there was nothing really I could do except be at his side. During those months, him most trusted friends deserted him when he needed them most, many gave him false hope and still some others made fun of him and advised him to do things which would crush him mentally. BUT we have passed those months and though time is not best, but it is good indeed. So fortitude, self-belief, love of family and determination will see you thru…there is always tomorrow.

I can commiserate with you. I went through a similar process that lasted about 5 years when I was in my mid 20s. Whatever I did, didn't work out - something just seemed to go wrong as if the universe had it in for me. Eventually I just gave up caring and thought, if this is it, then fighting this karma is only going to stress me out more. It all began when I was around 25/26... I was a musician at the time and at one venue, I had been working venues all week and this was the last one. I was part of a band and we were getting changed to take our gear out. Suddenly I hear some drunks singing through our microphones and quickly dashed on stage to take them pack them away. The others followed me. In the rush I had left my working pants in the dressing room with all the money I had earned all week. It wasn't until I got back home that night, that I realised the money wasn't in my pants. I rushed to the venue the next day, but of course nobody new anything about it. I knew I had left it in those pants, because I always kept it on my person on and off stage. After that a series of incidents followed where my car was broken into and all my gear stolen, then the car go stolen.. I remember my sister saying to me, "it always seem to happen to you!" And she was right. One day all the bad luck stopped as quickly as it had started. I was out of the music business by then though. So perhaps I wasn't meant to be in it in the first place. But I did love the work. - Derek

The blissful hope that ill luck would cease as it had begun is welcome.As for me, I still have a feeling that I am groping in the dark,finding no way out.The darkness seems to be thickening .Thanks for the nice words.

I can understand only too well how hard it is. If you can habitually visualize your own interpretation of some light in your life, you can change the way you are seeing life and be under less stress. It doesn't cost anything to do this, and even if external circumstance stay the same, at least your mind will have generated something positive for the future - nothing in our earthly life is permanent. - Derek

The best way is to get a piece of paper and write all the money that is coming in on one side and all the money that is going out on the other. During one week write down everything you spend. You will soon see where your money is going and where you are spending too much. The money you save you can pay off your bills and this will make you happier but dont expect it all to happen at once. Good luck

I just happened to see the Secret movie, all it says that you are attracting those creditors. The power lies within you, and only you can and change the situation by not expecting creditors, but by expecting payments and payments, one after the other. This creditors stuff is bothering many of our friends in here and everywhere, there are ways through which we can help them pay up their credits. Contact me personally for my plan to do so.

sometimes we dont need to pray about certain situations ,and unfortunately may people make the mistake of praying when all they actually need is to take certain steps or make some adjustments in their activities,i dont think being bombarded by creditoors is a misfortune but the quuestion is how r u u handling the situation,most times we only need to ask God for wisdom on the best way to go about things and the soliution will come and pplease disabuse your mind from thinking it is misfortune

I'm sorry you're being pestered by creditors. I remember those times and they are so stressful! But they are of our own making when we buy things on credit. It is always better not to borrow money. Sometimes we have to in order to feed our children or buy a car for transportation but we always regret buying things we don't need if we borrow to get them. Make it a priority to get rid of your debt and never borrow again. It's a long, hard road but you can do it! Call your creditors and tell them you want to pay but can't pay what they want right now. Work out a payment schedule, they will usually work with you. When you are out of debt, never borrow again!

As far as I know there is no option to have a misfotune. What we are doing in our daily life all of these controlling only one super powered being. We can't think about thy planning and mode of action. We don't know what is good for us or bad for us. Only allmighty fix those for us which are really good. May be we feel sometimes something bad or dis favor. Please, think so Allmighty God doing all of these.
