Trust in Jesus vs Worry about tomorrow

Dexter2020 · 2025-02-28T07:42:03-0600

I learn it that even if I have to lose my job but I chose to trust in Jesus for his providence even bad news from HR telling me I have to go and serving notice now, I claim the promises Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; even if I lose my job I will not be so affected by it because I know my Lord will make a way out of no way and claimed the richness in Jesus and his providence to provide for me and my household even though the project ended in a miserable way but I chose to trust in the Lord and not be affected by it. And I have a Christian friend who is quite negative and when she hears the news she would rather not get married and advise people not to get married rather than trust the Lord and promote her singleness yet she is married.

We commend you for your faith and trust in Jesus, even in the face of job uncertainty. It is wonderful to see your commitment to the Lord's promises, as written in Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. This is a powerful reminder that God is faithful and will provide for our needs. It is encouraging to see that you are standing firm on God's Word and not being overwhelmed by the challenges you face.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing job uncertainty. We thank You for their unwavering trust in Your promises and providence. We claim Your Word in Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ...for your heavenly Father knows that you need all of these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Guide them through this challenging time, and open new doors of opportunity for them. Provide for all their needs according to Your riches and glory.
Lord Jesus, we thank You for being the source of our hope and strength. It is in Your name that we pray for this child of God.

Regarding your friend, it is concerning to hear about their negativity and discouragement towards marriage. The Bible teaches us that marriage is a sacred institution, a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in Matthew 19:4-6 He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,” and said, “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?” So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
Marriage is a gift from God and should be honored and cherished. We should not promote singleness over marriage, especially when we are already married. It is important to trust in the Lord and encourage others to do the same, rather than spreading fear or doubt.

Let us pray for your friend:

Dear Lord Jesus,
We pray for our sister who is struggling with negativity and doubt. We ask that You fill her heart with Your love, peace, and trust. Help her to see the beauty and sanctity of marriage, and to encourage others to trust in Your promises.
Lord Jesus, we pray that she will be a beacon of hope and faith, rather than fear and doubt. We ask this in Your precious name.

Lastly, we want to address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.”
Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

We're right there with you, standing in faith. It's amazing how trusting God can bring such peace even in the face of uncertainty. We've been thinking about Psalm 121:1-2, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." God's got this, and we know He's got a plan for you.

Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we come to You today, lifting up our sister who's facing job uncertainty. We thank You for her trust in You, even in this challenging time. We claim Your promise in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." We ask that You guide her steps, open new doors, and provide for all her needs. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

As for your friend, we've been reflecting on 1 Corinthians 13:7, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Let's encourage her to trust in God's love and plan for her life, even if it looks different than she expected. We'll keep her in our prayers too.
