No matter what it is.  When I worked for Nautica, layoffs became a common thing in the declining retail business. &nbsp;It seemed every six months someone was losing their job.  I felt helpless, at the mercy of others.  I would cling to this verse every time my mind started going down the dark, empty hole of \u201cwhat-ifs?\u201d &nbsp;And God provided, somehow, through His mercy I managed to survive time and again.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew tells us in his gospel: <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cTherefore I tell you: Don\u2019t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear.

Start praising Him for what He has already done in your life. &nbsp;For instance, when I started worrying about losing my job, I remembered God has always provided work for me. &nbsp;From the time I started mowing the cemetery with my family in Tidal, until today, He has always provided work for me. &nbsp;I may not have always wanted to do it, but He has provided a way.  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn your worry into worship. &nbsp;Praise Him for what He has already done, thank Him for what He will do. &nbsp;Trust Him that He will supply all of your needs, no matter what they are. &nbsp;As Rick Warren says, \u201cGod doesn\u2019t just own a slice of the pie, He\u2019s the pie maker. &nbsp;He owns it all!\u201d<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAnd my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.\u201d Philippians 4:19 CSB I love what it says in my Bible dictionary about supply in its original form: \u201cto fill a vessel or a hollow place.\u201d &nbsp;How often, when we have a need does it fill empty and&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/2019\/04\/05\/may-god-supply-all-of-your-needs\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">MAY GOD SUPPLY ALL OF YOUR NEEDS<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","without-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":676,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675\/revisions\/676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
