I could use a little help from my frens...
🧐 Help Wanted 🤔
Tomorrow, I am up for a 3rd interview for a position that I really want. I've been laid off since last summer and it's getting tough. I feel pretty good about it, but a part of me is trying to play it down, not get hopes up, etc. frankly, because I don't want to be disappointed again.
However, someone told me the other day that fear and faith are two sides of the same coin. You don't know which side is going to come up until you flip it, so why not lean into faith? So, I am going to take that advice. Therefore, I humbly ask you if you don't mind saying a little prayer for me tonight. It would be most appreciated.
That is exactly the difference between an atheist and a Christian. One chooses to live according to fear of the unknown and the other chooses to live according to a loving promise.
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:25-34
