I'm so broke my clothes are wearing out, my car is wearing out, I can't go out, and the debt keeps piling up. I take any work I can get, even though it's sometimes humiliating. I keep trying and trying. I'm so tired of being poor.

Mine came in last week - and I was at the airport!
Hang in there. Things can only get so bad. And then, they can only get better.
3 years ago, I had to dump my car and borrow a bicycle. Now things are improving. You'll suceed eventually.

First you need to make life style changes, so that you can make ends meet. this might involve moving to cheaper housing, sharing housing, buying clothing from thrift shop, using public transportation ( or walking, riding a bicycle- you can often get a free bike from the dump) instead of a car. Buy staple foods, like flour, sugar instead of premade breads/foods, making your own from scratch is much cheaper. Once you cut costs of living, you can start saving (just a little bit at a time, even a dollar a week) then you need to decide the direction you want your life to go and how you can get there. And then, make it happen, go to school, look for job in that field,etc. your ship wont come in until you go to find the port and the ship and jump on it.
You can go out without spending any money: church events, community events, yahoo meetups,etc. these will also help you meet people, and networking (meeting people) is how most people move forward in their lives. These events help you meet people that are out of your current social position, people that you normally wouldn't meet. Which gives you the opportunity to also move out of your current social position or at least recognizes the possibilities

Do you tithe to your church? The last chapter of Malachi God says that when you do not give him 10% that you are robbing him. I used to be where you are. Then I decided that I would not put my trust in my paycheck, or my job, or a spouse but rather look to God as my source. I gave 10% off the top knowing I would need that money. Only ever since than I get money from sources that would not give it before. Like insurance money that was owed me, but they wouldn't pay, and suddenly did. Or the IRS owing me money for a change, or my car not breaking down. Once a person in a prayer group in a different church heard about me, and found out where I lived and came to me, gave me a check in the amount I needed to pay a bill because she said God had told her to give it to me. She did not know me, only heard about me when someone was praying for me. Give and it will be given to you.....I think you are wonderful to keep perservering. Never give up...remember, your life can change in the twinkling of an eye. Keep trying and I will be praying for your life to take a turn for the better....God Bless.

rejoice! the Lord has put you through a winter time so that your roots may grow. even though your flowers wither, when the summer comes once again you will shoot up and bloom. Stay close to God in this time and tell him ever single thing you feel and think. This is a chance to get to know him better! remember, the joy of the Lord is your strenght. as long as you are doing everything for Him, you can know he will provide for you.

It will get better, if you keep trying.
But, remember...you have clothes, you have a car, you have food to eat, and a place to sleep...much better than many have it.
Even the poor in our country live better than the middle class in most....
So regardless of how bad you have it...you really have it pretty good.
