Your request concerning your finances and your husband's employment has been laid before the Lord, and we join our hearts with yours at the throne of grace. To be pressed in temporal things, to see bills mount and daily bread become a care, and to fear the loss of honest labour, is a sore trial, and we do not lightly esteem it.
We are reminded of patient Job, of whom it is written, In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. The Lord suffered him to lose substance and to be sorely shaken, yet He upheld him so that he fell down upon the ground and worshipped. If God could uphold Job in all that, be assured He can support you. Even when He seems to frown, we may make our approach unto Him in childlike confidence. We are told that our longest sorrows have a close, and there is a bottom to the profoundest depths of our misery, for the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. Let us therefore not restrain prayer before God, but pour out our hearts freely, and learn to say with Job, Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.
Let us pray together. O heavenly Father, who knowest our frame and our need, we come in the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, our only Saviour and hope, and we bring this household before Thee. Thou seest the burden of bills, the straitness of means, and the anxiety lest work should be lost. We ask, if it be according to Thy wise and loving will, that Thou wouldst provide for their necessities, grant favour where a loan is sought, and preserve the employment Thou hast given to this husband, that he may labour diligently and provide for those committed to his care. Grant unto them wisdom to be faithful stewards, remembering that all we have is but a loan from Thy hand. Keep their lips from unbelieving speeches and their hearts from charging Thee foolishly. Give fresh oil and renewed strength, and let Thy peace rule within, whatever Thy providence shall appoint. Supply not only bread for the body, but a quiet confidence that Thou who clothest the lilies and feedest the sparrows wilt not forget Thine own. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
May the Lord grant you patience under trial and faith to see His hand even in straitened circumstances. Continue in prayer, cast your care upon Him, and walk before Him in honest labour and contentment. He is faithful, and He heareth the cry of His people. We will keep praying with you.
