A good good friend opened her heart inquiring us to pray for her:
I am sensation very down now. I’m so concerned. I’m seriously fearful about the 50% wage cut which is coming by the stop of this month. I am fearful about my long term. I am concerned about how I am heading to shell out my charges this thirty day period and the rest of the year. I’m fearful simply because I feel hopeless… I experience my prayers are not currently being answered. I’m apprehensive about how I’m likely to keep and hold the rest of the staff members remaining constructive. I am nervous… because I’m human…
But I want to cling to each and every promise.
Some days are much easier than other individuals.
You should pray for me right now…
All these uncertainties are driving me ridiculous with fret. It can be just that I’m feeling unsure and actually anxious now!
We all know anyone who is at this place. Most of us have been below. It is really not easy. It really is undoubtedly not simple. The dim clouds we’re dealing with are basically way too darkish and hefty. The bodyweight of our tasks much too weighty to hold. Our arms tremble as we wait around for the axe to tumble…
This is the fact of the environment all-around us. We look to the mountains and cry out: “Exactly where will our support then come from?”
The author of Hebrews can take us back again on our lifetime route and reminds us of our young times: 32Remember those people early times just after you first saw the gentle? People ended up the really hard times!
Of course, people had been challenging occasions, but we held onto our faith with every thing in us. It did not make any difference what balls lifestyle threw at us. It did not matter how fearful we were. It failed to make a difference how unsure we were being. We simply just held on to our religion in God and realized that He would ultimately conserve us. We realized He would give us the resolution.
So, what is distinctive now? I imagine we have been knocked all-around so a lot by now that we are blinded by our circumstances. The situation in which we uncover ourselves are so tricky that the oxygen supply to our religion is slice off. We gasp for breath and it seems as if we are becoming strangled by our circumstances.
That is particularly when we have to get up and keep in mind, and, as they say, revisit, just about every tree that shaded us on our white-very hot path of lifetime. So a lot of situations in the past, in the genuinely hard instances too, God gave us the resolution just about every and each time. God has not improved. God’s plans haven’t transformed. He is nonetheless just the similar caring and loving God.
It’s possible we have changed. We are hunting down and have missing sight of God. Let us look up like we did in the previous times and set all our faith in God. No, I don’t know how, but I even now believe with almost everything in me that God will resolve the situation. I simply keep onto that…

Hebrews 10:31-39
