Okay so I have a prayer request - Our lease expires end of April and this would mean a 10% increase in rent, which I can't really afford, but more so, the house itself has just never grown on me, I mean I've never felt it to be my home, it is as if there's just something about the house that doesn't gel with me? Going back over the past year, since we moved into the house, everything in my life had gone to shambles per say. So we've been looking for a new house, and it's still sorta early because people tend to only advertise in the month the house comes available, so I worry that it comes to lease renewal and I haven't found a new house. On top of that my finances seem to rule my emotions, if my finances are not in good order, my life feels like its falling apart, and I KNOW the answer to this, but to actually practice and have that ultimate faith sometimes evades me. I would truly appreciate your prayers in these matters.

Thank you.

I know how you feel, I am the same way. When there is enough money to go around I seem to be at my best. But let things start getting tight,- I worry.

Father, I pray that you will give confidence to Tash, -and myself for that matter- to trust in you in all matters of life,
including finances. Let us remember Lord, what you say in your word in Matthew. Take no thought in what you will eat or wear.
Our Father in heaven knows what we need before we even ask.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added.
Father I ask that you bless my sister in all her choices, that she makes the very best ones possible.
In Jesus name, Amen

Ed - thank you. You know you're unto something here. Every time I pray to God and ask him to help and provide, there's the silence.. and then its followed by "SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD" I think I'm on the wrong track here and your prayer just confirmed that I should change my focus, and pray NOT to receive but to Seek HIM first and foremost.

Thank you for your prayer.

Just wanted to say that both myself and a friend of mine also have situations going on in which we are approaching some kind of turning point in life and are have been anxious about God coming through. In my case I am approaching the end of a course at uni and looking for a job and hoping God will provide me with one before my finances run out. My friend is approaching retirement and again is hoping God will provide for her. I know what it is like to have that low level anxiety in the background - when you are not 'seeing anything' yet...I pray that God will help us to give Him all our worries and trust Him to provide for us all financially and in every way. Also - God knows what words you are going to speak before you say them...He knows everything about us....and all about our needs....so we can trust Him to help us even when we feel that our prayers are not that good! It sure sounds like you are not comfortable in your house and God can help with that too - to give you peace while you are having to live there and protection!!

Jips old friend, I take no offence to any word of God. This scripture has left me with Goosebumps all over - and how true this is... You know I have made so many wrong judgement calls when it comes to finances. The worst one for me is the inability to say no, especially when there is no money to do things the family would love to do. I this case I'm very much going along with the flow if I can put it that way, and this has landed me in so much financial trouble in the past - so I do not deny the fact that I've been the Wage earner who puts his wages into a bag with a hole in it. I can only hope and pray that God will guide me with his wisdom moving forward. I could really use a break to be honest, but I also know that God doesn't just give things freely - we have to suffer the consequence of our actions, or we will never learn. Thank you for this wonderful piece of Scripture!

Robin and I pray that God will provide for you and your friend too! Thank you for your testimony, and letting me know that I'm not alone in my worries. Lets all give our burdens to God.
