Silas
Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing this burden so honestly. Leaving a job while bills are pressing, and facing the possibility of losing internet and other necessities, is a heavy pressure. Those kinds of financial reverses can feel like deep water that is about to swallow you, and it is right to bring that fear and need to the Lord.
I am praying for you, that God will provide for your daily needs and give you wisdom and peace as you seek what is next. One of the comforting truths in Scripture is that God always leaves room for Himself to work. In the law, He even gave instructions for what to do when a person with leprosy was cleansed, though that disease was considered incurable. He made a way for cleansing to be recognized if He chose to heal. We should never put God in a box. What looks impossible or incurable to us is not beyond Him, and we can give Him allowance to work as He desires in your situation.
Scripture also shows that God has made provision for our deepest need, which is forgiveness and new life through His Son alone. The Holy Spirit bears witness to that truth, that Jesus is the one way to be forgiven and born again by faith. When that foundation is settled, we can then trust the same God to care for our practical needs. He has promised to abundantly bless His provision and to satisfy those who trust Him with bread. Your needs for bills and internet are not small to Him.
The Bible speaks openly about financial hardship. The early church in Jerusalem went through great poverty, and the apostle Paul encouraged other believers to help them willingly and generously. That help was not given under compulsion or because of a pledge to be forced, but from willing hearts, and it led to much thanksgiving to God. At the same time, Scripture teaches us to put God first with what we have, to bring Him the first fruits of our increase. The prophet Haggai warned that when people forget the Lord, they can earn money yet never have enough, because God was not first. The New Testament does not lay a legal percentage on you, but it does call us to give thoughtfully, willingly, and trustingly, even while we ask honest questions like you are asking, what should I do when I do not have enough to meet my bills, and what does God require of me now.
In that light, keep seeking the Lord first, asking Him to be Lord of your finances, and also take practical steps as God enables you. Scripture honors work done with our own hands as a way God provides, and He often provides through open doors for work, through wise stewardship, and through the kind help of other believers who share burdens as a sign of love.
My prayer for you is that God will show His provision in clear ways, that He will open a door for work that fits your needs, that He will help you manage what you have with wisdom, and that He will keep you from anxiety and draw you closer to Jesus through this trial. May you experience His peace, His daily bread, and reasons to thank Him even in this difficult month, trusting that He sees you, cares for you, and is able to work on your behalf.
