DEVOTION: "With my voice I cry out to the Lord; with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord. I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him." Psalm 142:1
Have you ever found yourself saying, "I don't know how we are going to afford it?" or "It's going to take a miracle for us to get through this." or I don't really know how we made it through that." Let me tell you the secret, IT WAS GOD.
God, who is rich in mercy and grace, takes care of us. When we don't see the solution, God provides it. When we "supposedly" don't have the money to provide for His work, He provides. When we don't have the energy, the will power, or the mental fortitude to make it through, He provides.
So it goes with the church. When we don't think we are going to make a budget, we need to cry out to the Lord. He will provide. When we want to do more ministry, but don't know how we are going to make it happen, we need to plead for mercy to the Lord. When we are struggling with another person in our church we need to pour out our complaint before Him, knowing that He will give us the answer we need to make life work.
You need to call out to the Lord with your problems. He will answer in your distress. You need to quit relying only on your own abilities, your own strength, and your own mind and start realizing that God is taking care of you! he is the one who makes things happen. Wen you don't know how "that" happened, IT WAS GOD!!
Prayer: Lord God, help me to know that it is always You working good in my life and help me to simply follow You. Amen.

Pray for these guys. Some of these guys are in harm's way right now, others are training to put themselves in harm's way. All of them have volunteered to serve and protect their country (which is you).
