Dear Anonymous,
I am so sorry you are going through this. Hold on. God promised He will never leave you or forsake you. He hasn’t, and he won’t.
I have been in that place. My husband had left me. I became a single mom with four teenagers. When he left, my dryer quit. I hung the clothes on a rail on the bottom of the garage door with it open. My washer broke. I washed the clothes by hand in the bathtub. My kids helped me turn our couch on its side to shake out change that fell out of the pockets of those who sat on it. That change bought us the bread and potatoes we needed to eat that day. My vacuum broke, my
hairdryer went out, I needed tires on my car.
One day, I walked out into the garage to hang the laundry, and the light burned out. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I raised my hands in the air and cried out to God, “You said you would not give me more than I can handle—I’m there!” I broke down and cried, pleaded for help.
The church showed up with food, a neighbor brought me a gift certificate for tires, another neighbor came to fix my washer and dryer. The blessings poured out.
Today I am an RN, have a nice home, and more than that, blessed way beyond what I deserve. My kids are all grown with kids of their own, each successful in their own way.
Had I given up, I never would have known the faithfulness of God in my life. I am ever so grateful for His faithfulness, love and mercy. I trust Him more, because of what I went through. I pray that you will hold on—hold onto God, who owns everything, sees everything, and is all powerful to do above and beyond what you can even dream of.
Blessings my friend, I will be praying for you.
