No barriers between you and God's provision

How a wife prayed when her husband had been out of work for a long time.

The insight I had that day was a bit of "the understanding of omnipresent Love," and it came as a glorious gift. What a relief! I was grinning! Feeling freed, delighted, and so very grateful to God, I went off to do my errands.

When I got home, there was a little note from my husband on the counter: "I got a job."

Hours later when he finally returned (it was a long day of wondering and chuckling at his wry note), my husband said that a friend had called and hired him to help build a sugarhouse – a cabin for making maple syrup. That job led to others and became steady employment. Our financial situation improved, providing even more evidence of God's care.

Over the years since, I've never let myself forget that we each get what we need straight from our heavenly Father-Mother, God. Whew! What a gift!

The Lord shall guide thee
continually, and satisfy
thy soul in drought,
and make fat thy bones:
and thou shalt be like
a watered garden,
and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not.

Isaiah 58:11
