I am getting so discorraged. We can't pay the bills, we've lost the phone, I thought I had a job, but the person does not seem to want to hire me, and I'm at the end of my rope! I don't want to end it all, but I feel I can't take much more. PLEASE, PLEASE, PRAY
While I won't pretend to know exactly how you're feeling right now, I have been through some similar financial issues and know how stressful and frustrating they can be. It's so easy to lapse into this thinking that God isn't there or that He doesn't care about us. But, what I know to be true is that He is sovereign. He is there with us every second, even through the absolute worst moments of our lives. He sees it all and He has a plan. God is always at work, even when it seems like nothing is changing. When all the garbage from this world just keeps tearing apart our lives and chipping away at us, we have some of the greatest opportunities for change -- change in us, in our hearts. There have been bad times in my life that have caused me to think some pretty dark thoughts... There have been those moments when I've felt hopeless... But, what I've discovered is that when I cry out to God and I ask Him the hard questions and I cling to Him more tightly than ever before -- that I feel peace and that He gives me hope. And when I look back on some of those times, I think to myself: I am so grateful for having been through that, because the growth I experienced then was absolutely necessary to get me through today and to carry me into the future God has planned for me. God knows the big picture, Debby. And even though that big picture has some dark colours in it, it's beautiful when we choose to glorify Him.
Know that I'm praying for you, and please feel free to message me anytime you need to.
I'm excited for you Debby. You know why? Because you are finally at the end of yourself. NOW...
The Holy Spirit will take over! Whenever we get to the end of ourselves and the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of us, He's definitely going to move on your behalf (esp. if you've experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If not, accept it, it's available to you, and bring it brings about such divine power and supernatural strength).
Let me tell you a "secret." I put both mine and Jesus' reputation on the line when I say this....WORSHIP HIM! That's the answer for you. I don't mean just a simple, "I praise You, Lord. I worship You." But I mean....
Worship Him in spirit and in truth. Bow down and worship Him. Get in your secret closet (room), pray and worship and He will reward you in the open.
" Lord you are matchless, you are amazing, you meet all of our needs because you are a provider. You are love Lord God and you promised that I wouldn't have to worry about what to eat, what to drink or what to wear. If You take care of the birds and clothe the lillies, surely You'll do it for me. I thank you in advance for Your provision. Thank you for this new job and/or creative opportunity that you are going to give me as a resource to support my family. Thank you for numbering the hairs on my head. Thank you for being involved in my life. Even though I don't feel you there right now, I know you are. Because you promised never to leave me nor forsake me and because you are a faithful God. You WILL NOT LET ME DOWN. You are not a man that you should lie. Your word WILL NOT return unto you void, because you said so. The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just and will eventually find its way into my hands. Thank you Lord. YOU ARE FAITHFUL. YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN. You are excellent in all your ways. You are a BIG God, the one and only God. I can't make it without you. I need you. I need you Jesus. I need you. I love you. YOU ARE FAITHFUL. YOU WILL NOT FAIL. I will have a praise report to share on this website so that all will see that you are a Provider and Deliverer. This sitauation WILL work out to your glory and for my good. YOU ARE FAITHFUL LORD. YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN!"
Say something to that effect. Say it, mean it and stop wavering, no matter what it looks like. When the enemy speaks to you and says you're not going to get a job, everything is not going to work out, take your life, give up on God, etc....Speak back to Him. Let him know that he, the devil, is a liar. The Lord is faithful and He will NEVER let me down. I will get a new job, better than the one I had before. I will love the Lord and believe in Him. I will trust Him. I will live and not die and declare the illustrious acts of the Lord. This too shall pass. This is only a place I'm in. God will deliver me out of this fiery furnace like he did the 3 Hebrew boys. I am victorious. I've already won because THE LORD IS FAITHFUL AND HE WILL NOT LET ME DOWN! :prayingm:
Debby, I've prayed for you and I strongly believe that the prayers of a righteous man (or woman) makes tremendous power available!
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. Matt 18:19 :prayingm: :prayingf:
Start shouting girlfriend, rejoice, go around the house and sing a new song, because if the Lord hasn't already worked it out, He's about to. HE IS FAITHFUL AND HE WILL NOT LET DEBBY DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
