O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing." P34910
I would like to share this short praise that means a lot to me. This month my finances did not go exactly as I expected and I fell short in certain things that I needed to do. I must admit that I was a bit anxious, but since Friday night, every time my thoughts overwhelmed me, I have cried out to God about my financial situation. I am thankful that God has given me the strength to leave it at His feet and every time I start to think about things, just hand it over to Him again.
My 2-year-old daughter takes a nap every afternoon. This afternoon we decided to sleep with her. When we woke up and I turned on my phone, I saw a text message that money had been transferred to my account - just enough for what I needed, plus an additional R200.
Today I just want to praise and glorify the Lord again for the wonderful way He provides for me and provides for all my needs. God is so good and I am so thankful for all that He does in my life.
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen." P4:19-20
Mila from South Africa
Thank you Hanna for sharing Mila’s praise. It reminds me so much of the beginning of my journey when I had nothing. I had the desire to start tithing, but I had no income, so my Beloved led me to start tithing from the little food money my former husband had given. It was such a big step of faith for me because I only saw “lack”. But it was the best thing I could ever do, because ever since, my kids and I have always had food on the table and clothes to wear, even though my bank account looked empty.
Thank you for sharing. Just like Adina, my account shows zeros, but it reminds me of a lesson: even if it’s empty, believe that it is filled… And by giving my tithe, we have lacked nothing.
Thank you for sharing this praise, it reminds me, along with Adina’s comment, of when I had no way to pay the rent and utilities while separated, I could only pray, trust and wait. My precious and faithful Husband appeared right on the due date with the money!
Hanna, thank you for sharing Mila’s testimony. During this time, I have seen how Our Beloved provides for us and multiplies food. And yes, we worry about finances, but He
comes and gives us what we need. We are never alone, and He takes charge as Our Husband.
Hanna gracias por compartir esta alabanza, siempre que le dejamos el control a nuestro amado y esperamos en el nunca nos deja sola, ni nos deja en vergüenza.

Hanna, thank you for sharing this praise, whenever we leave control to our loved one and wait on him, he never leaves us alone, nor leaves us in shame.
I have been going thru much lack and my 2 teens also (not so much my older 1, but that’s a long story). I’m not of marrying age any longer but I did have a restored marraige (‘05)—solely to have my youngest in ‘07 , I now believe. I think their dads deceased the last decade also. But circumstances are such and the world today is such that esp my younger teen I can’t feed much, me either. I believe I may be coming THRU and not just in this disaster but I’ve become almost numb to alot this past 1.5 yrs of desperate situation, esp the fire of the last 8 mos. I was tithing all along too. Pray for my situation pls. I can make utterly no plans as I am utterly w/o means. It is quite debilitating.
I srsly think He is about to bring me thru instead leaving me here any longer. But I honestly think my patience becuz of my faith went into depression last Aug.
Dear Héléne, what a difficult time you are going through. It really touches my heart and I immediately prayed for you when I read the response. I have also experienced that waiting is difficult and have also regularly lost my patience and thought I could solve my problem myself. Unfortunately, all my self-conceived solutions have not given the result I was looking for.
My beloved told me to share the following book with you: ‘Finding the abundant life’ https://loveatlast.org/finding-the-abundant-life/
And very special also this chapter: https://loveatlast.org/finding-the-abundant-life/chapter-5-its-so-worth-the-wait/
He is so looking forward to giving you the abundant life with Him too! He loves to see shine faces 😍
