In times of uncertainty, our first reaction is almost always fear, panic, and a rush to regain control. But what if you can’t regain control? What if all you can feel is fear? The client whose story we’re sharing with you this month would say – that’s where faith comes in.
A dear elderly woman on a fixed income recently came to GRACE in need of housing assistance. Her husband is bed-bound due to multiple conditions, and his consistent need for care mixed with her worry for him has made it difficult to leave him home by himself for any length of time. She also shared with her care manager her uneasiness about her general lack of alternative resources.
She came to GRACE hoping to receive any assistance in making her rental renewal fee. Her monthly income is only just over $1,000 and she had already made plans to seek further assistance from friends hoping to cover whatever amount that was left after coming to GRACE.
As the care manager expressed what GRACE could offer, the client burst into tears and shared that before coming to our office she prayed, and asked for God’s help while believing that He would provide, and He did.
She walked away with more than she was expecting and now has everything she needs to secure her household for the coming month.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think…” Eph. 3:20 NLT
