Thankful Thursday - Finances
“So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.””
~ Genesis 22:14 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)
I worry at times. Yes, I pray a lot but there are days that I cannot help but worry. I worry mostly about the health of the family. And more on our finances. I provide for my family and my worst fear is to be able to wake up someday and not be able to provide for my dad and my siblings. No, not on a grand scale but you know, pay the utilities, my mom’s medical bills, my youngest sibling’s tuition fees…
Lately, I’ve been noticing that every time I worry about the state of our finances, God tells me something in His own way. A week ago, I am worrying that my brother will be going to college this coming June and there are just so many bills that needed payments soon. And then the blessings come pouring in.
God is good all the time.
So I was reminded of a friend’s constant advice to us… If you pray, why worry?
*I am late for this week. I will make sure to post earlier next week though

proven and tested…tama sis, “If you pray, why worry”? You know what happened to our company…sobrang down kami noon. But I Lift everything to HIM, GOD is really good!

Very good advice that your friend has. I’ve been trying to pray more and I have been noticing that to be true - less worrying.

that’s really true, sis!
ako din ganyan minsan … pero after praying gumagaan pakiramdam ko … entrust everything to the Lord; di man natin gusto yung nangyayari, but if we have done all that we can, then just believe that that is what the Lord has planned for us.
GodBless at ingat palagi, sis!

No worries that you posted later than usual. The post is open until Saturday mornings
Yes - sometimes we worry too much and all that will help us to put the focus back on Christ is to pray. He always is at work - even when we don’t see it right away.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this past week.
Blessings to you and yours…
PS: I think it is cool that you help out your family.
