God Provides for a Struggling Single Parent

3/10/2020

There was a time in my life when I was a single mom. My three daughters were in elementary school and we had just moved into a home. I was divorced due to an abusive marriage and had no idea if I could continue to support my daughters on my own. I received none of the court ordered child support, and although I had family nearby, there was no help coming my way. My job as a Head Start Teacher Family Worker didn’t seem to stretch far enough. Even with some help from the state I was living in at the time, I was challenged to provide for my children. I found myself one night standing in my kitchen with three potatoes in my hand. It was all I had for dinner. I never really said a prayer. I just cried out to God and said, “God, how am I going to feed my children!” Less than a half an hour later, I heard a knock on the door. Standing at the door before me was a woman who I knew as the wife of a man my father had worked on some construction projects with. In her hands where four bags of grocery. She handed me the bags and told me was it was on her heart that I needed some food. Then she left. I was in shock as I never told anyone of my need. There was enough in those bags that kept us feed until more resources arrived and I could go food shopping again.

I had many more struggles in my journey as a single parent. Yet time and time again God provided. His word never comes back to us void. He is a Loving Father who cares for all His children’s physical and spiritual needs of their hearts. Matthew 6:31-33. "Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

If you can relate to this person’s story know that God loves you and wants to help with anything you are facing. Just ask Jesus to help you and be a part of your life. Say to God, “God I need your help. Help me with ______________” or “Jesus please be in my heart and life. I need you.”
God loves you so much and wants to help you, and be in your life.

    Every month we print out testimonies to give out at our Free Store and Food Bank of what God has done in the lives of people in our day and time. 

    We believe testimonies are powerful: They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimonies - Revelation 12:11a
    So as we share these stories monthly we post them here to encourage others.
