Your Question:

What if I can't provide for my family?

Answer:

My friend, I can sense the weight of responsibility bearing down on you. Providing for your family is not just a matter of financial security, but also a spiritual and emotional one. As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that it's not always easy to balance the demands of work and family life. But I want to remind you that you're not alone in this struggle. We all face challenges in providing for our loved ones, but that doesn't mean we should give up.

In fact, the Bible teaches us that parents have a responsibility to provide for their children in every way - materially, physically, socially, spiritually, and mentally. This is not just a moral obligation, but also a way to show our love and care for them. As a father myself, I can attest to the importance of being present and involved in my children's lives. Joshua and Rebecca are growing up so fast, and it's my duty to make sure they know they're loved and supported.

If you're struggling to provide for your family, I encourage you to seek help and guidance from your church community, friends, and family members. We're not meant to do this alone. And remember, providing for your family is not just about meeting their physical needs, but also about showing them love, care, and spiritual guidance. As the Bible says, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40). Let's work together to build strong, loving families that reflect God's love and care.
