My name is Stanley. I live the Washington D.C. area. I have over $90,000 worth of student loan debt. Please join with me as I pray for God’s spirit to quicken my mortal body as I work to increase my income. God I pray for creative-witty inventions and Holy-Spirit led perseverance through this time. God, I feel so much pressure right now- sometimes, I wake up in a panic. Nevertheless, I proclaim your promise: “Do not worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything- with thanksgiving, make your requests known unto God and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus”. Help me believe. Amen.
Just an FYI: I’ve been ready Dave Ramsey’s, “Total Money Makeover” and am planning to implement the principles stated in this book.
If anyone has any questions/comments about debt, credit, or money in general, this is a GREAT book.

I stand with you in your belief that God will increase your income and give you wisdom to pay off debt and handle money wisely. Our Father is very concerned with all the happening in our lives and He wants you to be successful in all thing through Christ Jesus. Continue to lean and trust in Christ our Savior with all your heart, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

September 2, 2017 at 5:05 pmStanley…I remember the figure $146.10 that I paid month after month, year after year, for over a decade, toward my own student loans. It was an incredible feeling to pay the last installment and I know that it will be every bit as rewarding for you when the time comes…Heavenly Father, please guide Stanley to the actions he needs to take to accomplish the goal of paying his seemingly insurmountable debt. Please give him creativity, peace and joy through the process. Amen.

God is faithful. I know what it is to have sleepless nights due to worry of debts and I also know what it is like to sleep with contentment knowing that my debt is paid off. I am an analytical person and like to play with numbers. Here is what I would do if I had such a high student debt.
1. Carry lunch to work everyday unless it is that special day at work when you need to have a team lunch – You will save approximately $ 135 per month assuming lunch is $7 ( I literally carry lunch and have been doing this for all my career)
2. Next do not eat out every week/ month. Let’s assume you eat out twice a month – cut that down maybe to once – This may save you approx. $35 a month -( Eating out is very rare for my family, we enjoy making our own food 🙂Assuming the above is done you should be able to save approx. $2000/ year and this can be added towards the principal of your student load.
Trusting God to give you wisdom and increase your income so this debt can disappear .
God bless you!stanleyspottswoodPrayers: 13Requests: 5
