James 1
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
God loves you, I love you..... and I declare abundance of joy and patience over your life,
in the name of Jesus

whoever is in charge of it all does sometimes.
Your situation is VERY serious.
FIRST, get some food, from neighbors , relatives, churches, dumpsters, food stamps, churches that aren't even your religion,
even make a sign and stand somewhere.
Feed your daughter first, even if you have to go a few days without food, she can't and shouldn't have to. Maybe catch pidgeons. You have a pc that works, there are web sites that tell you how to do it and how to cook em.
Ask relatives and neighbors if they have any small jobs you or he can do to get money. My grandfather used to build porches for people during the depression, and terracing yards, probably for low money.
If my neighbor asked me, I would give then ALL the leftovers and some canned food and whatever we hadn't eaten in the past 6 months. And maybe a few bucks too. A handful of change probably.

Been there, done that! Funny thing is that when you look back on it from twenty years down the road you may just see some real humor in it. It is not easy though when you are going through those times, and I do encourage you to pray, and read the first few verses of james 1.

Read Job, in the bible.
God agreed to let the devil test Job. He lost his house, his family, his pride, and most of the book of Job his friends trying to tell him how he screwed his life up. After testing Job, God gave him back everything tenfold.
Point being, God allows bad things to happen to good people, not because of a sick, irony-loving sense of humor, but to test his followers. If you trust in god (and make an effort to help yourself) He should pull you through. (Also try contacting a church nearby, they should be happy to help you [If not, rest assured God will judge them for it.])
I am praying for you.

Praying is just going to frustrate you because nothing will be done about it. You can either keep praying and be homeless or fix the problem yourself. The latter is much harder but then again it usually works.

God doesn't play jokes on his people...its more like a test of faith for you to see if you are really trusting him.
Maybe this is a blessing maybe someone out there will bless you a few bucks?? I would!!
Will be praying for you and your family...

If there is a god, I believe that he created this whole world as a twisted amusement for himself. But personally I think that everything in life happens for a reason; whether to test us, teach us, help us in the long run, or etc. I hope the best for you and your family and just keep faith in yourself and your loved ones.. Good luck to you.

Yes he does! He plays them on me because every accident that happens to my car, not being my fault, its always a hit and run type accident. Last week some dude tried to kick my *** and throw me out of car when I was driving cause he wrecked his beamer. God hates me. Just try harder and follow faith, then God will accept you and make life great. Good luck

hey i am sorry that you are having such a bad time..but how do you pay for the enet? and i sure hope god has a sense of humor but if he's the prankster that causes all your and my grief then the joke is on us. if god had wanted us on our knees he wouldn't have given us two good feet to wade through this life with. only a tyrant wants a man on his knees praying to him for survival. i wish you good luck

No, God do humble people for many reasons. He likes to get people attention, test their faith, and your you and your husband repentaces of your sins. He is not a joker.
