" Your Answer is Only a Prayer Away"

For many of you, 2011 has brought a lot of fear and uncertainty about the future. We are tempted every day to believe every word the media and government brings us. The early years of reporting News used to be good and bad, now it's just bad! The News is now readily available on our cell phones, ipads, laptop, desktop, it's seems to be streaming in from everywhere, our communications systems has the ability to blast gloomy pictures of current events from all over the world no wonder most people are on the edge. I'm here to tell you there's a remedy for all of this doom and gloom his name is Jesus.

If you've you been listening to anything other than the promise of God's Word it will cause you to think twice and start talking about the what if’s in life. How many times have you heard this message in your head? What if I don't have enough money to pay my bills? What if I can’t pay my car note? What if my property taxes go up? My children are in college and I need to save money for my retirement. Where does it all end? It starts and ends by having a relationship with Jesus Christ and trusting his Word not the worlds words. I can speak with bold confidence because I have lived and walked through what I’m sharing with you.

I've been a single Mom and my son and I have faced homelessness. I've face divorced and I've lived through a bad relationship and a turbulent marriage. I've had to make hard choices for myself and through it all my heavenly Father was only a Prayer away to lead and guide me. To be lead and guided by the Spirit of God you have to know his voice and that comes from having a relationship with him. When things seem hopeless instead of hopeful I had to look-up.

As I begin to trust God and take him at his Word my financial situation begin to change. I took God at his word, I begin to meditated on the word of God I put it in my heart, I spoke the word of God, I lived the word of God and I was also a tither giving 10% of my unemployment income in the lean times.

My financial situation begin to change. Financial seeds I had planted years before begin to come up,
I would go to my PO Box and there would be checks in the mail from companies I’d worked for fifteen year before. This were large checks made out in my name for thousands of dollars I stood in amazing and cried and thanked God right in the post office I knew it was the providing hand of God.

The checks just kept on coming I’d do a double take because it almost didn’t seem real, but it was very real. Many of the checks came from a stock split or dividend shares. Others checks were pay outs were credit cards companies realized they I'd been over charged in services fee's and interest, still other checks were from former employers that charged me double for personal medical premiums.

In one year I received over $32,000 dollars in unexpected income. And yes, I tithed on that income too. The checks continued to pour in for another two years I knew it was the hand of God. The headlines are screaming losts, market collapses, home foreclosures. Major Retail chains and business are closing their doors. With all that is going on around us your life still testifies of the daily goodness and blessings of God. God is not surprised by anything that goes on in our lives, so now I'm not surprised.

It's says in his word that many are the afflictions of the righteous us but the Lord delivers us out of them all, I have testified to this truth. Don't listen to the nagging voices of doubt and fear which play like a recording in your head 24 hours a day. Trust God. During the lean times there were several scriptures I relied as I walked through the fire, one of my favorite is "Fear Not for I am the Lord thy God and I will go with you and go before you".

The Word of Gods says I'll never leave you nor forsake you or leave you without support. I had to trust that! The world has heard our message; now they need to see us living it. Obstacles and challenges will come and go don't be afraid just look up your answer is only a Prayer away.

I'd love to hear how my story has touched you!
