I was swimming in tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt I thought I would never repay. And then, one day not long ago, I was free. Was it luck? The result of some kind of mystical event? Definitely not. Actually, it came about through prayer and spiritual growth. I’d like to share how.
For a while, I’d been praying about student loan debt, not just for myself, but also for the millions in my country, the United States, and around the world who are burdened by it. At this time, borrowers in the US collectively owe over $1.5 trillion in student loans. The issue has already promised to play a role in the 2020 presidential elections, with some presidential hopefuls making ambitious proposals for canceling much or all of student loan debt in this country. Others aren’t sure such ideas are feasible or practical, but regardless, many agree that countless people need to find relief.
Whatever may or may not change politically, I’ve been learning that there are solutions to this crisis that are rooted in God. In fact, I’m convinced the real answer people need must ultimately come through divine Mind, God, enlightening human consciousness. Debt forgiveness isn’t just a political issue. It’s a spiritual one. It’s about relying on God. And I’ve found in my own life that relying on God is practical—this reliance actually meets our needs.
