A"Peace"of Hope

I never understood how a person could go to work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, every day and still come out financially with just enough to get by. "The struggle", gets old real quick. There's simply never enough. Never enough to eat, never enough gas to put in the car, never enough warm clothes in the winter, and never enough to keep the lights on. I work too hard to never have enough of anything. I don't even have enough to make ends meet. I'm tired of trying. I do my best to never get sick because I can't even afford to see a doctor. I'm doing my best to stay in the word of God, but my faith is hanging by a thread. Right now, spirituality and mercy are not at the top of my priority list. I need tangible things, blessings that I can see. I'm looking for God to bless me with tuition money, personal expenses, gas money, new clothes, food to fill the fridge, a husband, a paying internship, graduate school acceptance, new friends, a new car, an all expenses paid trip, or better yet I'll take a blessing in the form of a break. Just a moment to get myself together because life around me is falling apart. Yet time is consistently moving forward, and I feel like I'll never be able to catch up.
