Hello fellow Christians!

My name is Aaron and please allow me to give you some background about myself.

I am 23 years of age and three years ago met my wife, Marcea, who is 30.  2 years ago we were blessed with a wonderful boy even when Marcea was told that she would never have children due to Ovarian cancer.

We are not rich by any means, monetary-wise.  We have always struggled to make ends meet, even with the two of us working two jobs each.  We have always had faith, even when things looked down.

About a week ago, Marcea lost her fulltime job.  It was the altinatum: Quit or we will fire you.  We don't know why, and we probably never will.  We lost our benefits and we are stressing.  I am starting to lose faith.

We are up to our necks in overdue bills with no end in sight.  We need your help.  We need your prayers.  

I am now working at least 80 hours a week between my jobs, weekends as well.  When my college classes start in August, I will have to cut my hours dramatically so I can study and graduate.

Please help us with your prayers and if any of you feel necessary to help us in other ways, we will be grateful.

I feel terrible that I am losing my faith in Christ, and I try to buck up and tell myself that things are going to be ok, but I don't see any relief.  I will never completely lose faith, but I am slowly dwindling...

If you have any suggestions, prayers, ANYTHING, please feel free to email me at nightfoxi@comcast.net

Thank you all and may Christ bless you in all that you do.

Lord... I ask Your blessings upon this family. Mostly Lord, I ask for spiritual growth for these folks... that in that growing in Christ, the true victory of life and Spirit may be made known. Send them conviction for their failings, along with repentence and contrition. That being done, heap Your blessings upon them. Let them see Your power and also Your unfailing and perfect judgements. In Christ Jesus I ask and trust, amen

Aaron, God loves you enough to sacrifice all your dreams and plans, for what He wants for you. How you feel right now is not as important as how much He loves you. When things are happening that you dont understand, and your rushing around trying to come up with the solution on your own, the only way to quiet your spirit and renew your faith and trust in what He is doing is to take time to sit in His presence. God is so able to meet every need you have, His work, not yours, but you must be willing to put all these things, and your family, into His hands. You will find that the more you choose to trust God, the more your faith in Him will grow.
