ANSWERED PRAYER!

Thank you for you prayers everyone! He IS sustaining me. Just this week, I've had several people contact me about some work, I've received financial assistance from both my mother and my county, and was informed that I may be eligible for partial disability payments. Everything has started coming to me at once since I gave it all up to HIM.Your prayers of agreement are heard, I'm sure. My health has been more stable with less pain, which is amazing. My mental/emotional state still needs healing, but seeing God's wonderful provisions come pouring upon me lately have strengthened my faith and have humbled me so that I can receive what is offered me without embarrassment or too much pride.
Prayer Request
It's long overdue, actually. I do want to pray for a steady job/income, and I'm asking you to agree for one that I can sustain and even enjoy, so I can keep my house and pay my bills. In Christ, Amen. But instead of just asking, I want to thank the Lord for what I already have. I want to brag on Him.
My father-in-law, with whom I shared rent on housing had been mentioning retiring for years. My late husband and I had been scared that we would be homeless, but we decided to trust God and pray. Sadly, I lost my dad this year, but happened to inherit from him just enough to purchase a modest home. Sadly, my disabled husband passed as I was preparing for us to move to the new home, but I was indeed able to have a home ---the exact same weekend my father-in-law retired and moved away. The timing was only God-directed. There were many losses this year, but the Lord protected me and gave me my own home, which I never even dreamed of having! I had asked for a home, and the Lord gave me a house! And I trust the Lord will fill this house with seekers to make it a church home. I trust He will sustain the house because it needs many fixes.
My current work is coming to an end, and this time I do not have my husband or in-laws to fall back on. It is just me alone out here in this town and I must rely on my Lord alone. I have no income very shortly until the Lord blesses me with some. My physical health has been fragile, not to mention my mental health, but I am getting by, praise the Lord. The Lord has sustained me for over 6 months now, following my husband's departure to Him, and I must trust that He will continue to sustain me for every day I am on this earth.
My good and faithful Lord is a provider and protector of widows and orphans. In a sense, I became both this year. The Lord is near the broken hearted. I am, and the Lord has stayed close to me to be my husband and father and friend. He gave me a car as soon as I cried out to Him. He has always taken care of me for the asking, so any doubts I have now I must cast out to Him.
Now I am asking for a big thing -- a job that can sustain me, or an income that can do so. I have never been able to hold down steady work due to severe depression and anxiety. I have tried time and time again, the Lord knows this. But every time, I have been challenged to the point where conditions were no longer sustainable. I really have not had good experiences. Many have been beyond stressful and traumatic for me. The Lord knows this and He must know how I suffer with thoughts of going through this all over again. I ask Him to relieve me of this stress and strain. I ask Him to provide me a steady income that will not be dependent on the shifting economy or a worldly boss's moods. I need good works and I need income; they don't have to go together, but they can. Most of all I need to trust Him. He has ALWAYS provided.
Here, I pour myself as an offer to the Lord, but in Jesus' name. I ask, USE ME, Lord,and HELP ME rely on YOU and not on my own strength, which is very little. I cannot support myself alone. I will be living in my car without YOU, Lord. I will not be able to have a ministry without YOU and my health will fail more and more without YOU. I need more than I've been asking for. Please hear my prayer! You know what I need.
In Christ, Amen.
Please partner with me, brothers and sisters. The more prayer partners I have, the more angels will be put to flight. Amen.
