Fundamental Principle
Christianity does not protect you from worldly issues. Most Christians, if questioned, would agree with that assertion. However, when confronted with a challenging circumstance, we behave as if something strange and unexpected is occurring to us. Some of us even doubt God’s commitment to them, particularly when confronted with financial difficulties.
When we read Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you,” we might easily misinterpret what it means. Yes, God has promised to take care of us and our needs, but how he will do so may differ from our expectations or the lives we are used to, and here is where the fight starts.
There are several reasons why Christians have financial difficulties, and we cannot address all of them in this essay. Instead, I’d want to concentrate on three major reasons why Christians have financial difficulties, as well as what you can do to overcome and even prosper in the face of them.
Tips for Trusting God amid Financial Difficulties.
Ask God for assistance
I understand how painful financial hardships may be. You’re anxious, you’re sleeping poorly, and you can’t see the way ahead at times. In certain times, you need actual assistance, direction, and tranquility. When Sam and I were battling, I kept begging God for help. I prayed Him to help us find chances, to give us energy to work, to give us ideas, and even to open our eyes to places where we needed to improve. And God remained loyal.
Remember, God has a plan for your life
Let’s imagine the worst-case scenario: What happens if your home is foreclosed on? That would entail finding another place to reside and maybe renting for a spell. It may be uncomfortable or even humiliating. But at the end of the day, you and your family will be OK, right? You’d still have a roof over your head. And chances are you’d find a way to keep food on the table.
Study your Bible
When you’re dealing with a private crisis of finances, a little encouragement might go a long way. And, believe me, there is nothing simpler to keep your head up than to read the Word. Yes, I am speaking about the B-I-B-L-E.
Give gratitude
When it appears like your whole world is collapsing due to financial difficulties, it’s tempting to believe that nothing positive is occurring in your life. Nothing to be grateful for. Nothing is worth celebrating.
