In debt, child on the way, affects my happiness - ericbart - 07-19-2011 05:54 AM
I recently started a new job in May and have come to discover that I may not be making enough money to pay our bills after my wife gives birth to our second child. We have very good credit and own a home we are renting out, but our bills have taken over. I stress over not being able to pay our bills and losing everything constantly and I feel terrible. I am getting a promotion in September and I have prayed that the pay increase is significant and will help us pay our bills and climb out of debt. I believe this and have put it in God's hands. Some days I am weak and doubt tries to creep in on me, but that is when I pray to God for strength. Today is one of those days. Thanks in advance for your prayers!

I stand in prayer believing that The Lord will give you peace, that He will bless you, your Wife and your children, the 1 whose already here and the 1 on the way, that He blesses your bills and finances, your job and gives you abundantly more then what you need in Jesus Name. For blessings and miracles we pray and that your cup runneth over. Amen.
This passage and actually the whole Chapter has given me so much peace. I pray in Jesus Name it does the same for you. For this is what He promises:
28 And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves.29 (O)But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers.30 It is God who clothes the wild grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have! So do not start worrying:
Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?32 (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.33 Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.34 So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
MATTHEW 6:28-34

I will keep you in my prayers. I understand you are going through a hard time and God will help.

I appreciate the prayers and comments. I simply feel very human some days and that is when doubt tries to take me down. I never let it and I thank God for answering past and current prayers, even on my weakest days. I know and believe God will provide for me and my family. All I can do is keep working hard at this job and enjoy my growing family, even on the tough days. Luckily, my marriage is as strong as ever. These tough times have only helped us grow closer. I must admit, as a man, it is tough to not be able to provide comfortably for my family. I struggle with that too, but I know God will make things better soon. My faith is in him.
