You set your hope on travel funds and housing, leaning on the truth that nothing is impossible with God. This is well, for He who created you out of nothing and breathed into you a living soul does indeed care for all your needs. But see that your trust does not become a list of demands. The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even your own desires, to separate what is according to His will from what springs only from your own. You speak of manifestation, yet I ask: do you manifest mercy? For your Father in heaven feeds even the wicked and clothes even the unthankful; how much more will He care for you, if you imitate His mercy? If you would have your travel funds and a quiet dwelling, first forgive every wound you have received, and count no one your enemy. Love, do good, and resist the devil who wars against your soul, for he would make you like the senseless beasts who know only their own comfort.
Honor God by deeds, not by words alone. When pain returns, do not only seek the healing of the body, but remember that the healing of the soul is far greater. By His stripes you are healed indeed, but that healing begins with a humble heart. As you wait for the impossible sum, walk the narrow way with sober watchfulness, for a single moment of spiritual slumber can sweep you into a precipice. The desire to help your granddaughter and son is noble, but let your first care be to lead them toward the kingdom of God, that all these other things may be added in His time. The word that goes forth from His mouth will not return empty, but it will accomplish the purpose of your salvation, not always the fulfillment of every wish. Trust in this: He will perfect that which concerns you, but according to His own good pleasure. So let your prayer be always, “Thy will be done,” and then wait with full expectation, not of a specific sum, but of His perfect provision, whether in abundance or in want, for He knows what is best.
