Keep Faith
The righteous cry out,
and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all.
Psalm 34:17-19 NIV
Hello All!
Lately I ran into some financial problems (as we all have) and for the past few days I was really worried about how I can pay certain bills and pay back people I owe. Yesterday morning after I viewed my on-line account, I was put in such a rotten mood, I then realized that, that was the devil trying to destroy my spirit and get the best of me. I started to pray at my desk asking the Lord to keep me faithful, I prayed all day at my desk, with my prayer partner, and in my car. I read scriptures through email, and in my book and a magazine. All during my 8hr work day, I was determined to get Gods attention and made time for his word, with distractions and all, it was like a 24hr praying marathon...Lol.
Every morning I get daily scriptures Emailed to me, and the first thing I do is read them. Well this morning I read some along with the one above and that one really opened my heart, and God told me that he will ALWAYS provide and meet my needs, I just have to keep my faith in him and trust that he has it covered. After reading that I SOO hesitantly checked my bank account, and you know what? The Lord provided me with an unexpected deposit... Praise God! Almost in tears I told my prayer partner about it, and realized that God wanted me to share this with you all. He wanted me to tell you that no matter how hard it gets, no matter how dark your future looks "Don't Give Up".
Don't give up on his word or on he's promises for us. Give your hardship to Jesus, like the song "Jesus Take The Wheel" let him drive away your issues, and you'll start to see his miracle's. No matter how small or large he's at work, and trust that he will never leave you and he'll always provide. When you feel like he's not hearing you call, do all you can to get he's attention, and soak in his word.

I have been seeking patience without really asking for it; this part of patience has been TO keep the faith and don't look down. I always tell people to look UP and not OUT at people because people will let you down and drop you quick. But these past few weeks, I let my faith waver, but I am back on track...and Praising God for what is coming..not what today looks like.
Thank you for sharing..we always need positive, spiritual affirmations.

It's so nice to hear your story! We are in the same place with our finances and it can really get you down, but I have to keep telling myself that God is in control and he won't let us down when we need him. You know, He has to bring you through the storm so we can see the rainbow waiting on the other side! Keeping the Faith!

That is so true Latriece! last night I read (Isaiah 43:2) and it talks about how god is with us, protecting us, even during our worst moments, when things seem impossible, he can make it possible. He never gives us more then we can handle, and we have to start thinking of our hardship as life lessons and a way for God to strengthen us for the future.
God Bless!

"This the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his/her testimony is true." John 21:24
Prayer is a powerful thing but just as amazing is the testimony of His beloved, those God has answered in prayer. "For faith come by hearing and hearing by the word of God". I'm sure this was an awesome faith builder for you but sharing your true story with others has expanded the reach of God's Mighty Arm, to touch, strengthen and build up the faith of those struggling to BELIEVE that to, will answer they devout prayers.
Build Up...Build Up...those in waiting!

This is such an awesome story, and I am so glad to hear that you were blessed!! I definitely need to get more connected to God, I have definitely not made him my first priority..I am so glad to be apart of this site, it really is uplifting being around so many people who have such good relationships with God or want to get closer.
