No job yet masters degree

Hello,
I'm 39 and I need help!!! I have graduated college 3 times, I have a master’s degree in organizational management. I cannot find a decent job and I am struggling severely. I do work and I'm not looking for a handout but I need help, I am trying to get my own place but I only make 350 a week working 40 hours a week therefore cannot save for a deposit that's needed to rent a room. A little about my background.......I was with the father of my children for 17 years, he was abusive mentally and physically. I thought I could change him with prayer and help him to be a better person, but when he became physical with our son I knew I wasn't going to stay and asked for a divorce the next day. I have suffered ever since I left and sometimes I think maybe I should have stayed and endured the abuse because life wasn't as horrible as it has been since I left! That was 5 years ago and I still can't seem to get my life together and stable. After I left I obtained a master’s degree, of course now I owe my life in student loans.
I moved to Florida 2 months ago because I thought the job market was so much better here....I was wrong..,.I've been here 2 months now am I'm homeless and slept on the beach on the hard white plastic lawn chairs that a certain motel does not lock up. When I don't sleep on the beach as no job equals no money I stay here and there for reasons I will not mention. I cannot take this anymore, I feel disgusting, and worthless although I have spent my life trying to better it....it seems like things are just getting worse. I don't know where to turn. I have prayed every day for the Lord to guide me in the right direction but to no avail. I'm still homeless. I do have a job but when I don't sleep because I'm afraid of where I am it makes for very long days. This is America, I'm educated with a masters, I should be able to help myself, and it pains me to send this but I need help. I can't afford a place to live, I can't afford food, I'm not looking for a hand-out, I just need help!!!! Can you please tell me what I can do???
