It would be great if anyone could keep me and my roommates in their prayers. One of my 2 roommates has not received financial aid and has no means of paying his portion of the rent. It's a pressing issue and has been weighing on me heavily. It has been hard to have confidence that God will provide when I don't know what His plan is regarding this burden.
Last week a heard a pastor's sermon (about how Joshua and his army continued to have confident hope that God would come through despite how the unpleasant process of marching around Jericho was) and it really hit me. Two days later, I heard another pastor speak on Jonah. After submitting to God, Jonah asked to be thrown into a raging tempest! I know he had run from God up until that point, but what confidence he had to actually have once he got to that point! I mean, the other men didn't want to throw him overboard because anyone would have drowned. But in both circumstances, Scripture speaks of God's faithfulness. He provided for them when they relied on Him. I'm trying to do the same. If I can get additional support through prayer, that would be awesome. Scripture tells of God answering His peoples' cries (even if in unexpected ways) and I believe that He will hear my honest plea for Him to have His hand in this situation. Thanks for listening.
