- Praying for finances
Pastor Banner now teaches in our school, el Liceo Bilingue La Puerta
Money is a problem for most of us. If I had just a little bit more…
We always need just a little bit more. It seems like “just scraping by” is normal. We don’t know how we make it. Having lack of money is good because it keeps you praying.
- George Mueller prayed for his orphans to have milk and bread daily, and the miracles came daily. He prayed for the furnace to be repaired in the dead of winter.
- Hudson Taylor received miraculous money for the China Inland Mission time after time.
- Elijah was fed by a raven after 3 years of drought.
- Jesus multiplied bread and fish to feed the hungry multitude.
- To pay a temple tax, Peter caught a fish and found a gold coin in its mouth.
Miss Jeannette with her class at the private school God raised up in Guatemala. God did miracles of finances.
The list is endless, inside and outside of the Bible. We can encourage faith in our hearts by remembering what God has done.
I reversed my life. Most people do what they want when they retire after working for years. Now, after 16 years of doing what I wanted (missionary in Guatemala), I’m getting into the work scenario. Maybe that’s a good way to do it: do what you enjoy while you’re young.

And I’m praying for finances. Though I don’t have much, I have the great satisfaction that my life has counted for something. A church and a school are alive and well in Guatemala today because I answered the call to go.
Whatever your situation, don’t be depressed about finances. Keep working and praying. God will provide.
