Money. I seem to have no problem trusting God in all other areas of my life. Money and finical issues seem to be where I loose trust. "Will it really be alright if I sacrifice this?" I always ask that question.
It is really the one area I should trust more. I am not good at handling the fiances. It stresses out my wife a lot. I should really just hand it over...but...I'm afraid.
Afraid of what? Afraid of not having enough when I need it. Afraid of just not having enough.
I really try to keep up with tithing and giving a little more in other areas. One time I had forgot the checkbook. I was sitting in church thinking 'I can't tithe this week. I don't have the checkbook.' Then I thought what about the cash in my wallet? I argued with with myself that I couldn't use that. I needed it for a trip we were taking and I didn't get paid before we left. Then the thought 'Trust God' came to me. But I could not bring myself to put the cash in the offering. I did not trust. The next day at work I got a back pay check I was not expecting. It was like God telling me "See, I will provide. Just trust Me."
I know I should trust more in this area. I will try harder and pray for God to help me.
