Ask, Believe, Receive – Really Does Work

Submitted by: Dee - Starting to see the results

Dukinfield, UK

38 year old who has been trying to make her life better!

I need to say thank you to The Universe for showing me that it does work and thank you to everyone who is in my life and for those of you that are showing me the right paths and for those of you that believe in ME!

I’ve submitted a story on here previously (related to my clear skin – which is still clear by the way) but since then, I have been struggling. Especially when I felt that I was doing what The Secret and The Power said to do (which i read over and over again). I couldn’t understand why I was feeling so much unsettlement. I kept looking at these pages and tried not to feel upset or negative about the situation I had found myself in. I was angry as both my ex partners having left me in financial difficulty and walked away and just left me to pick up the pieces and cope on my own! I realize now that I was omitting negative thoughts and possibly brought all that to me as I felt that everyone I would meet was going to hurt me. Luckily I am not thinking that anymore!

Like most people, I have found myself in a financial situation that I thought was unfixable. Waking up with cold sweats every night, not eating, and trying to find money to pay bills. I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough money to buy food for me and my 14 year old. My beautiful daughter was seeing her Mum get upset and crying most of the time and feeling unloved by me when she is in fact the most precious thing in the world to me. I didn’t want her to see me like that. I wanted her to be proud of me.

I did what I could to find money but every time I went into my online account, I had a debit instead of credit. I didn’t know how I was going to manage. I even went to my bank and asked for a loan (thank you for not allowing me to have one as this would’ve been worse in the long run) and they refused me. That was the last straw and I thought I have nowhere else to turn. I knew I had to change it.

I sat and prayed to God and asked my mum and dad to pray for me also as they are born again Christians and their faith has never faltered them. My dad told me that God will find a way I just had to believe! That was when I stopped in my tracks and looked at my text from my Dad and thought…Ask, Believe, Receive! I had to give it one last go as I couldn’t see a way out of my dark hole.

I sat on my knees and prayed – please help me – I believe in you and I don’t know how, or who but someone is going to help me.

That was 2 weeks ago. I changed my thoughts to negative and have told everyone who has been helping me through on a daily basis that The Universe was going to come along and help me.

I got paid last week; I am still in credit and will continue to be in credit. I will have enough to pay all of my bills and will have enough to treat myself to a new pair of shoes for work. The funny thing is, last night I suddenly woke up and thought that I have been so relaxed that I hadn’t transferred money over to my mortgage account and felt a sense of panic! Then I thought that when I would get to work I would log into my account and will have a credit in my mortgage account for money owed from my Child Benefit. Guess what? It was all there! All £166.20 worth!

Thank you Universe! For all of those people that sit and read these stories and for all of my friends and even my daughter who thinks I am completely mad and crazy, I am not! I am determined to make my life better and this is just the start!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Love and magic dust to everyone.
