I was inspired by the story of Joshua and the fall of Jericho. They shouted their faith and the walls of Jericho fell down. Likewise, I would like to do the same with my problem. I need prayers so that I can buy my brother a round-trip plane ticket from Japan to the Philippines. You see, my brother is an overseas contract worker. He works part-time as a tennis coach and full-time in a factory in Japan. He already sent me some money for safe-keeping, but I told him that I would invest it. He did not know that my investment did not prosper. Now, my problem is that he is coming home and he wants me to buy him the ticket from the money that he sent me, but I could not do it because I lost it in my investment and somehow I mismanaged my finances. I feel so ashamed to tell him that. I dont want my brother to lose his trust in me because I have always tried to encourage him to save and invest, but here I am, I mismanaged my own finances and worse, I lost his money. This may sound that I am saving myself from shame… Yes, I am saving myself from shame, but I don’t focus on what I did, but on the love of God for me. I failed, but God made me a champion, so I have to rise and move on. God knows how hard I tried to become a good steward of His blessings, but I just kept on failing. I tried to change my bad habits and commit to learn new good habits such as spending wisely, saving and investing. Well, old habits are hard to break, they say. But, I don’t lose heart. God does not give up on me, so I wont give up trying. I am very confident of God’s love for me, his mercy, and his provision. He will never abandon me and I know He will bless me because He delights in blessing me, and He is not done with me yet.
**Please pray that:
All these things I ask and thank God for, believing in faith that I already have them in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
I just know miracles will happen.
Praise God!
**Please pray that:
- I will be able to find funds as soon as possible so that I can buy my brother a round-trip ticket so that he can come home and be with my mother for the holidays.
- I will be able to really manage my finances better this time, to become a faithful and trustworthy steward of God’s blessings, especially in the area of finances, my area of difficulty.**
