God Provides
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
I grew up in a single-parent family. My mom and dad divorced when I was 10 years old. After they separated, my dad vacated our lives, and I only saw him twice before he passed away, once in the fifth grade and once right before I graduated from high school.
Because my dad was absent from my life, I endured a lot of pain, hurt, and disappointment. Not to mention, my mom dealt with her own struggles, as well. She was constantly worrying about anything and everything. She always seemed to be anxious about something, particularly when it came to providing for our family.
Nevertheless, even though she worried, the Lord always provided. I was able to see from a very young age how God provides for us in the midst of our pain. He provided for our family when we were anxious and struggling. Likewise, He can provide for you, too, in whatever circumstances you are facing today.
If you are in a painful season, or worried and anxious about something, lean into your relationship with our Heavenly Father. He will take care of you and will never abandon you. He will always provide for you, no matter how painful, disappointing, or difficult your circumstances become.

My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023. She call me from the hospital and we prayed on the phone and when we were done praying she said we are going to trust in the Lord he's all we got and we did. When you are going through a trial like that you are at peace because of his presence. She went home with the Lord 2wks later but I'm going to be with her again that's my joy and I know she healed. But when I worry about finances or things I just remember to trust in the Lord because I'm not walking through this alone and he taking care of me and providing for me.
Pastor Dodd— you’re a testimony of God’s grace, love, direction even after enduring….. And how God has used you mightily. I’ve learned so much from you teaching God’s Word and your examples. Gods bless.
