Every morning I'm reminding myself of the truth. I am not of this world, God is pouring his love out on me and he is never surprised by my actions or my troubles. Although I may be blind sided by many problems he saw them coming and has a plan if I would only listen.
Nothing is impossible for God. He placed the moon in the sky with his awesome might. He laid the foundations of the earth and knew the number of hairs on my head before I was born. And although I do not know what God has for me in the future, I know it is good. So I am thankful for what I have, content in my situation not longing for something more but thanking God for what he in his loving kindness and mercy has given me.
In this life I shouldn't focus on where I'll be in ten years or how am I going to afford the new car. Or even where am I going to live or where is my income going to come from. These worries that seem so important are not what God wants me to focus on. So I will seek him first and I will trust him to provide a job and a home for my family. I give thanks to God for where I am in my life and showing me that I must Reilly on him.

Mathew 6:25-34
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
