Need Encouragement?

Prayer needed for employment
Don't really know how to start this and I will sound like I'm rambling so bear with me. Have been having a "pity party" the last couple of days. I know I am here for a reason, just don't know what that reason is and I know that God will reveal this in "his" own time. The reason I know this is because I had cancer and it was dead before the surgeon got to it. I have been living with my Mother since the middle of January which is a challenge in itself being that she's a alcoholic and won't admit it. She gets very stupid and forgets what she does or says, so it's very difficult to be around her in the afternoon and early evening. The purpose was and still is to save money to get a place of my own and to be able to live comfortably. I know God has given me many blessings and I thank him every day for them, it's just that I'm not making enough money to be self sufficient. I have wonderful friends, a wonderful Mother and a terrific girlfriend who constantly give me encouragement. These are tough times for everyone, I know. So I also understand that I'm not the only one thinking these thoughts. I am also suffering with giving money to God even though I know that without his grace, I wouldn't have the job I have at this point; however its hard to do this when I don't have enough money to make ends meet and I know it calls for a leap of faith, which obviously I have to work on. I have an application in the process for the sheriffs department along with a couple other applications out there. Currently I am working in a position that pays $8.18 per hour. It gives me free health insurance; however this doesn't pay bills, food or fuel. In the end, I am asking the community for prayers for encouragement, patients and to be persistant. Thank you for your time and prayers. Sorry for all the rambling.
