must lean on and depend on
God for He will make a way
where there seems to be no
way. There is absolutely no need
to become overwhelmed with
fear and doubt. Neither should
you go into a state of depression. For God did not give us
a spirit of timidity or cowardice
or fear, but [He has given us a
spirit] of power and of love and
of sound judgment and personal
discipline [abilities that result
in a calm, well-balanced mind
and self-control] (2 Timothy 1:7
AMP). God will take your ruins
and bring beauty from ashes.
When you have done all you can
to resolve the problem, it’s time
to give it to God. Trust in His ability to take your financial Goliath
and make something good come
from the bad. Watch God do the
absolute impossible. He’ll give
you unprecedented favor with
the creditors. He can touch their
heart, thereby allowing them
to cancel your debt. With God
nothing shall be impossible.
Allow me to conclude by sharing my amazing story with you:
Since December 28, 2013, I
have not had any viable income
coming in. I lost my job in September 2012 due to abuse of
power and my unemployment
ran out on December 2013. My
daughter’s fiancé died in July
2013 and there was no doubt
that I would relocate and help
my daughter care for my three
grandchildren. Although, I diligently sought employment, it
was one rejection after another.
Or I was unable to accept the few
jobs I was offered, due to the distance required to travel to get to
them. I reside where there is no
mass transportation and most of
the buses run every hour. Even-

tually, an opportunity opened
whereby I became a Freelance
Writer. This led me to becoming an Author and I published
my first book on August 10,
2015. And any money I receive
from the sale of my books, with
the exception of my tithes and
offering, I give to my daughter.
Although it’s a tremendous financial strain on my daughter, she
never complains. And yet, we
have not gone one day without
eating, without lights, or without
our necessary needs being met.
I am not in distress, because
I know God is working behind
the scenes and will turn it all
around for our good. You see
– as I continue to give as I did
when I earned a good salary,
God honors that. Honor GOD
with everything you own; give
him the first and the best. Your

barns will burst, your wine vats
will brim over. (Proverbs 3:910). And when I least expect it,
God will Show up and Show Off.
All these others made offerings
that they’ll never miss; she gave
extravagantly what she couldn’t
afford—she gave her all!” (Luke
21:1-4). Beloved, trust the Lord
no matter what. He will come
through in ways you never imagined. He will not allow the enemy
to prevail over you. God keeps
accurate records. He’s looking for faithfulness so He may
prove Himself to you. This too,
will pass and you shall reap a
mighty harvest. God bless you,
Beloved.
