I Have Questions - Why Is Money So Complicated?Sample

Written by Cherish Faith W., age 17 from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA

I’m sure at one point you may have wanted something that you couldn’t afford. Maybe it was some new shoes or a new video game. Maybe it was something more serious like a new computer that would make it easier to get your schoolwork done. It’s easy to feel abandoned when it seems like God isn’t providing. It feels like when you need Him the most, He’s not there. But I promise He is. He sees your commitment to living out your faith. His plan for you is so much bigger than a temporary situation. Don’t get me wrong, He cares about your financial problems. They’re valid! But His promises to you are bigger than monetary value. So you may have to go write that long essay for English at the library instead of on a computer in the comfort of your home. You may have to get up a few hours earlier to catch the bus because you don’t have a car. When you have a lack of money, it’s not particularly fun.

But I promise that God has a way of using everything for His plan. God’s ways are always greater than our own.
