Finances: How has Jesus helped
you
My husband and I always struggled with jobs..he worked for himself.. But Jesus ALWAYS came through for us. We never went without... now my husband passed away four months ago and I am standing firm that Jesus will see me and my daughter through... I know he will help us because he said he would, and also he always has. I thank God that I know him and can rely on him though anything. I love him sooo much.

Anxiety: How has Jesus helped
you?
Throw all your worry To be humble, and subject to our reconciled God, will bring greater comfort to the soul than the gratification of pride and ambition. on him, because he cares for you. (1 Pe.5:7)To be humble, and subject to our reconciled God, will bring greater comfort to the soul than the gratification of pride and ambition. Refer all to God's disposal. The golden mines of all spiritual comfort and good are wholly his, and the Spirit itself. Then, will he not furnish what is fit for us, if we humbly attend on him, and lay the care of providing for us, upon his wisdom and love? The whole design of Satan is to devour and destroy souls. He always is contriving whom he may insnare to eternal ruin. Our duty plainly is, to be sober; to govern both the outward and the inward man by the rules of temperance. To be vigilant; suspicious of constant danger from this spiritual enemy, watchful and diligent to prevent his designs. Be stedfast, or solid, by faith. A man cannot fight upon a quagmire, there is no standing without firm ground to tread upon; this faith alone furnishes. It lifts the soul to the firm advanced ground of the promises, and fixes it there. The consideration of what others suffer, is proper to encourage us to bear our share in any affliction; and in whatever form Satan assaults us, or by whatever means, we may know that our brethren experience the same.

Finances: How has Jesus helped
you
Oh I just love these conversations! You all have such valuable things to share. Thanks to everyone for making a difference in my life. My husband and I have had a lot of financial challenges in the last couple of years. We got caught up in all the mortgage problems plaguing our country. We lost our home and had to move into something smaller and cheaper that we are renting. I was devastated. Our credit report tanked and that caused me all kinds of sleepless nights. But just like God, he turned it all around for our good. We were able to make some changes and now we are in better shape than ever. I came to realize that I was trusting in our jobs (we both work), our home and our credit report more than we are trusting in God. Now that my world was turned upside down and we came through it and life is still good, I learned that God really does love me. God really is taking care of me. He is involved in my life. He is doing things unseen everyday. When we were in control of our life, it was hard to experience God’s goodness. But, when our lives were shaken, there was God right in the middle of it taking care of us. I learned that when I trust in God, it releases him to do miracles in my life. Now I don’t want to experience difficulty any more than necessary but I know that God works all things for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purposes.
