Everywhere you turn these days, you hear about lay offs, and home forclosures and all of those depressing things that are being drivin by our economy. Here at work we have done some lay offs and who knows if we are done or not, anything is possible, we hope everytime we make a change that it will be the final change before an up swing begins.
In these tough times our faith in a good and loving God must remain steadfast, and I will be the first to tell you that mine waivers at times, it is not always easy or convenient but we have to make it that way, he will see us through anything that is happening. Tough times can make for an eye opening and awakening spiritual walk if we will just follow the path, it is not always the smoothest or the fastest but it is there. We must align ourselves with good and godly people to help keep the faith up, some of these people are the rocks I lean on at these hard times, friends and family alike. I have been very blessed with a son, sister-in-law and good friends that are my rock and sounding board when I need one.
When doubt and fear close in it makes for a very small space to work in, and even if you know you are not being considered for a lay off or you are not having financial issues you will still feel the effects and wonder if at some point you and yours will be next. The only thing I can say is put the prayer warrior in action and watch good things happen. Sometimes I just need to take my own advice to heart and lay it all at the feet of the one who can control it.
May everyone be blessed with good times, less fear and concern, and lots of love!
