I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength... And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:12-13 & 19

It can be a daunting thing to go through unexpected financial hardship. Perhaps there was a loss of a job, unexpected health costs, or a legal bill that drained the accounts and left you in the red. The weight of the world can fall on your shoulders and leave you wondering how you're going to make it. Rest assured, you will make it. Perhaps your lifestyle will have to change and difficult choices will have to be made, but you will make it through this, and hopefully, you will emerge on the other side closer to God and more thankful for what you have. Though it always feels better to not be in need, we know that the secret of contentment is to understand that in every situation, God is enough and He will give you strength to wisely navigate whatever season you find yourself thrust into. God will supply all of your needs. You may have to sacrifice some of the 'wants', but what you truly need will be provided in a supernatural way. We've heard hundreds of stories of God showing up when people needed him most. These promises of provision from God are true for you as well.

If you want to read a great encouraging story that is sure to spark your own faith, look up the biography of William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. Numerous times in his life, he didn't know how he and his wife or the numerous orphans in his care were going to eat. But every time a need arose, God provided for their needs in a supernatural and miraculous way. He depended on God and every time they faced lack or need, William would hold his wife’s hand and he would pray with his head up high in faith and confidence that God was looking out for him. In the same way, instead of worry, fear, or depression, your financial struggle can be a season of spiritual growth, of  trusting God, and living life according to His endless riches, instead of your own.

Find a way to serve others. Proverbs 11:25 says, “those who refresh others, will themselves be refreshed.” There is something powerful about being in a tough situation, but taking the time to step out of it and serve those around you who are less fortunate. When our perspective changes from lack, to recognizing how blessed we are and we are left encouraged and thankful.
