There's a Lesson In It
As most of you already know things have severely been hard for me financially. I have struggled most of my adult life to try to make ends meet. Being a parent, let alone a single parent, is definitely a hard job. Though most of the time I have relied on myself to figure out a way through my messes, when I could have easily leaned on someone much greater then myself. That someone being God.
I am so thankful to have such a merciful God that he would see my plight on a daily basis and make it His mission to help me through each and every month. Of course it takes my trust and faith in Him to make it all work, but I tell you the biggest roadblock I have in my life is ME. Always getting in the way. Trying to take back my will and do everything in my own strength only to fall on my face every single time. You would think I would know by now that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result never worked for anyone. Hello, McFly?!?!
My Lord is gracious though and He has fresh mercy every day for little old me. I am thankful that He cares that deeply for me. So deeply in fact that He scoops me up, dusts me off and lets me start over again, time after time.
I tell you all of this with a point in mind. I have been a worry-wort about my finances as of late. I have been stressed to the max. Crying out to the Lord for help. I have been a mess. I turned to my Pastor and he prayed with me. When he prayed that we need to claim the promise that God would never leave us or forsake us then my burden began to lighten a bit.

This same day I was given an opportunity to receive the money I sorely needed from some loving people in my life. I believe God put it on their heart to give. I am thankful to God for these people He has put in my life and I pray for an over-abundance of blessings to those people for their love and kindness.
Here is a verse to reflect on:
Psalm 55:22 (Amplified Bible)
22Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).
