I have a few thoughts regarding this. First of all, I believe God wants you to be financially free from this stress you are under. That being said, I think He would want you to be proactive and do what is in your own financial interests. If you give the responsibility to your pastor (or whoever) to decide where you should work, etc. You are giving up your personal responsibility. I think you should look at your pastor's words as words of advice, but not as gospel law. And then make the right decision.

Secondly, although not everyone is in as bad of financial shape as you are, I think it is good to take into consideration that many cards are stacked against the working class when it comes to getting ahead. If you study some economics, you will find this to be so. The system is set up that makes it hard for you to get ahead. The system was put into place by a bunch of rich guys. That doesn't help your personal situation as much as it might help you to blame God less and know it isn't all your own fault.

Now, the key is to do what it takes to dig out. Not easy, but doable if you make the right decisions.

Educate yourself. Godspeed.
