OK, as a lot of my MyLot friends know things have been pretty tough for me for awhile now,but i seems quite often now things that I need seem to come my way. Like I go to the supermarket and the thing I really had to buy is half price. Or i really need an item and it shows up in a local charity shop . Last week I got a fantastic pair of boots, never worn and they cost $5.A couple of days ago I really needed a small blanket, cheapest I could find new was $12, just found one like new in the op shop for $3. I do believe that I have a lot of faith, do you think that makes a diference ?

With our faith in God, anything is possible. God must have love you so much, that's why He gives you some small and simple ways for you to feel that he truly loves you. One thing though that i may add, God sometimes helps us just when we are already nearly falling. I always experience that and i am truly grateful to God. Makes me truly believe my faith in God always never fails.

I am glad to hear that God has looked upon you with favor. It's not merely coincidence, it's God's way of taking care of you. No doubt about it. I have had so many instances in my life where I was in need and since God is an ever present time of help, help always comes in. God is still in the business of answering prayers and he never gets tired of giving gifts to his precious children. He always delighted when we come to him when we are in need, and like a parent He can never turn when He us away. It is always a joy when he gives:)

Oh yes, I have seen that several times, not just for myself but also from the people who have shared their experiences to me. For one thing, I remembered my aunt telling me that time when they were hard-up on money and she'd fear they cannot provide for their meals then suddenly someone would call her up because there's job that needs her assistance. Another one is that of my dad during the time of his great financial problem where when he needed money, he'd find himself surprised to see that his ATM would contain that very same amount (as in exact amount). I have also encountered such both in relationships, businesses and things that I do everyday. However, I always keep in mind that though there are 'provisions' given, I should well keep my faith not because of what is given to me, but because I know that He loves me and all of us. Let's not think of only believing or loving because we can 'benefit' from it and when it doesn't come our faith shatters. Remember not to test the Lord. Good luck!

I do believe faith plays an important role in our lives and the outcome. My faith has carried me through alot the last five years. From having cancer, to my husband losing his job, to us losing our home and learning to live on a lot less than what we were use to having. I have never lost my faith and it has indeed brought ne through alot.

Well FAITH does make a difference in one's life. And yes I believe that God provides. Sometimes in a less conspicuous way. Sometimes He uses other people as channel to provide for our needs. It takes a grateful one to appreciate God's mysterious ways. So I really think you are blessed. Keep the faith.
