Laying my fears before God

Debt. How will I ever finish paying for school? How will I ever be able to re-pay my parents for the loans they took out so that I could come to College? Not to mention the debt I ow to them for providing for me for twenty years of my life and still giving up their lives for me and my siblings on a regular basis. Will I ever be able to get to the missions field with all this debt? Will I ever be able to get a job that will allow me to pay back what I ow? How will I provide for myself after school ends in August?

Make Your requests known to God... with Thanksgiving.

God has never forsaken my family. He has always provided for us. He is leading us and guiding us. He knows our needs and understands our financial fears. The Bible says that God clothes the lilies of the field, and if He clothes the lilies of the field then He most definitely cares about providing for me (Matthew 6:28)! I am thankful that God has given so much to my family and has blessed us in so many ways. He has allowed my parents to support me and my four siblings growing up, and I can trust that He will continue to provide for us. I am thankful that God is the center of my family, knowing that we will all turn to Him for direction. Financially, God has everything under control even if we don't seem to see it yet. He cares for the birds of the air, how much more does He care about His children (Matthew 6:26).

And so I am laying down my fears before God in prayer, trusting that He is in control.
