Trust in God brings resources

Gillian Litchfield

Our house needed some new windows. My husband and I had saved up, and had what I thought was enough money to have them installed. The company we called came out to the house, gave us a demonstration, and told us the cost per window.

I was shocked. We had nowhere near enough to replace all of the windows. But my husband and I talked and decided we really needed to replace the living room and porch windows. There was no way around it. So we went ahead and made the arrangements with the company representative, and applied for a loan with them. I didn't know how we were going to be able to make the monthly payments. But it did seem the right thing to do. As the man left, I remember turning to God and thinking, "It's up to You, God. This seems necessary, but I don't know how we're going to pay for this."

The next day I prayed off and on. I was totally putting my trust in God. I don't remember just what I thought, but I wanted things to work out, and Science and Health says that "... no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds" (p. 1).
