Praying for you, dear sisters . . .

Precious Lord, it is such a privilege to pray for our sisters here, and we thank You that Your answers are already on the way! As many of us face difficult decisions, new directions, or unexpected challenges, You have gone before us, and Your light shows us the way! Help us to trust You for unseen paths, knowing that You will guide us according to Your grace and lovingkindness! Hold us close, Lord, when we need the gentle reassurance of Your faithfulness and steadfast love! For annah, we praise You for joining her in her trial and using Your Word to strengthen and encourage her! For Kathy, Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and direction, as she prepares to make a decision that has burdened her heart! Surround her, Lord, with sound counsel and guide her according to Your knowledge and will. Grant her peace, then, that she may trust You for the outcome. For Andi and her husband, Lord, we praise You for Your continued blessings and provision during this time of unemployment! May it please You, Lord, to bring a new job opportunity for Andy, and ease the burden of financial uncertainty for them. For life-renewed, we praise You, Lord, for Your grace in returning her husband to work, and we thank You for Your faithfulness to them during his lay-off! And for Cathy, Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in providing local employment for her husband, that they would be able to stay in their home! Lord, You know how precious friendships are, how their roots run deep, and how the security of familiar surroundings is a comfort in challenging times. May it be pleasing to You, Lord, to bless Cathy’s dear family with a new job for her husband, that they would be able to stay in their home. May they trust You, Lord, for their future, if You choose, instead, to start them on a new adventure! Thank You, Lord, that in all these praises and petitions, You are faithful and true, worthy of all glory, laud and honor! In the matchless Name of Jesus, Amen!

Thanks Andi, Will pray for you and your husband as well. I will pray that God makes it very clear to you both what direction you should take in regards to your home and that the right position opens up for your husband. God Bless

Good to hear from you Cathy. I knew you were out there somewhere & I’ve wondered about your situation. We didn’t get our place sold. The one offer fell thru. I still believe we should sell but Andy, my husband, is letting his ‘feelings’ over-ride and wants to keep this old house. LOL and driving me nuts as I wait for us to return to consensus; until then we stay and I pray Andy is right. So now both husbands need a good paying job so neither of us need to move. Will keep praying for you [have your name on my computer screen as a reminder].

Thanks Gail for your devotion today. Andi, your comments are always inspiring. We are going through a similar situation with my husband’s job loss. I am so glad God is providing for you in such loving ways from those around you. That is so encouraging. God has blessed us in many ways at this time and I am so thankful. You are right Marilyn, Everything in heaven and earth belongs to our Lord. Good reminder. Please keep lifting my family up in prayer. We are getting ready to put our house on the market, and this is a very emotional time for us. Hopefully my husband will be blessed with a new job and perhaps we won’t have to sell.

Thanks Gail for your inspiring devotions. I feel God speaking to me through your words. They always give me comfort and peace.

As we realize that all that we have is not ours, but on loan to us by God, and that He may choose to take from one of us and bless another, we find it easier to let go of the things of this world. I have often thought that the fewer material things we have, the less distraction from our ‘first love,’ and the greater our dependence upon Him, which leads to deeper intimacy with Him. Sometimes, God causes financial uncertainty and sometimes He allows it. But, ALWAYS He provides during it! I join you, Andi, in praising Him for His loving kindness to you and your husband during these times of unemployment! He has used this difficult time to manifest His faithfulness to you and to draw your praises! May it be a faith-builder to those around you, that God holds nothing back from those who trust in Him and pray expectantly! It is my prayer that others can see that “my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness!” Amen!
