Your Question:
how can i live with the guilt of not being able to provide for my family?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of guilt you're carrying. As a pastor and a husband, I've seen many families struggle with feelings of inadequacy and guilt. It's a heavy burden to bear, especially when it comes to providing for your family. I want you to know that you're not alone in this struggle. I've had my own share of doubts and fears, wondering if I'm doing enough for my family. When I'm struggling with guilt, I remind myself that it's not about my emotions, but about my will. I need to take a step back, confess my sin, and ask God to help me let go of this burden. It's not about being perfect or having all the answers; it's about being willing to surrender to God's will. As a parent, I know that I'm not perfect, and I make mistakes. But I also know that God is working in me, and through me, to provide for my family. As I reflect on my own journey, I realize that providing for my family is not just about financial provision, but also about spiritual provision. I need to model for my children what it means to trust God and rely on Him for our needs. I encourage you to do the same. Seek God's guidance, and ask Him to show you how to provide for your family in ways that honor Him. It's not about being a perfect parent or provider; it's about being a follower of Christ, and trusting in His goodness and provision.
