Your Question:
What if I can't provide for my family?
Answer:
If I'm unable to provide for my family, it's a terrible feeling. As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle to make ends meet, and it's heartbreaking. But as a husband and father, I know that I'm not just responsible for my family's physical needs, but also their emotional and spiritual well-being. If I'm unable to provide for them, I feel like I'm failing in my duty as a provider and a father. As a Christian, I believe that God's plan A is to provide for my family, and I feel a sense of responsibility to do so. But I also know that I'm not alone in this responsibility. My wife Susan is a huge help in managing our finances and making sure our children are taken care of. And when I'm struggling, she's always there to offer a listening ear and a helping hand. Together, we're a team, and we work together to make sure our family is provided for. But what if I'm still unable to provide for my family? What if I've done everything I can, and we're still struggling to make ends meet? In that case, I believe that we need to rely on God's provision and trust that He will provide for us. As the Bible says, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38) I believe that if we're faithful in our giving and trusting in God's provision, He will provide for us in ways we never thought possible. And even if we're struggling, we can still find joy and contentment in knowing that we're doing our best to provide for our family, and that God is with us every step of the way.
