Your Question:
How do I make ends meet when I've lost my income?
Answer:
I can relate to your struggle, my friend. As a pastor, I've seen many people in our community face financial difficulties. When I lost my income, I had to rely on my faith and trust in God's provision. I remember praying with my wife, Susan, and asking God to help us make ends meet. We had to be wise with our finances and make some tough decisions, but we also had to trust that God would provide for us. One thing that helped us was to create a budget and prioritize our expenses. We had to cut back on some things, but we also had to be intentional about giving to our church and to others in need. As it says in Matthew 6:19-20, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." I believe that when we give to others, God blesses us in return. We had to trust that God would provide for us, even when it seemed impossible. As a family, we also had to rely on each other and our community for support. We had to be creative and find ways to make ends meet, but we also had to trust that God was working everything out for our good. It's not always easy, but I believe that when we put our trust in God, He will provide for us and help us to become economically self-sufficient.
