Hey sis,

Yesterday, I felt so burdened by everything happening in our nation with the government shutdown that I had to stop what I was doing to send you a word of encouragement.

I want to remind you of who we serve; a faithful God who is not shaken or moved by shutdowns, layoffs, or lack. He is still on the throne. He is still in control. And He still makes ways out of no way for His people.

If you’ve been impacted by this season, I want you to know that God sees you, He knows you, and He will take care of you. He is your Shepherd who provides, protects, and prepares a table for you — even in uncertain times.

As I prayed and cried out to God about what’s happening, He revealed four things we as believers can do right now to stay encouraged, united in faith, strong in spirit, and even prosper financially.
​

I talk more about this and in depth on the show — but here’s what the Lord said:

1️⃣ Be consistent in prayer.​
Pray for the wellbeing and prosperity of our nation, because as it prospers, so do we. (Jeremiah 29:7, 2 Chronicles 7:14)

2️⃣ Share all things in common.​
Even if you’re not directly affected, share in the burden of others. And if you’re in a position to help, share your resources so no one in the body lacks. (Acts 2:44, Acts 4:34)

3️⃣ Invest in yourself.​
Use your gifts, skills, and talents to create income or start the business God placed on your heart. Seek Him for what to do, how to do it, and when. (Matthew 25:14–30)

4️⃣ Save.​
Like Joseph, it’s wise to store up in seasons of plenty for when rainy days come. I share on the podcast how my husband and I are practicing this (even as a recovering spender… me, not him! 😅). (Genesis 41)

Sis, my prayer for you is that you stay anchored in faith. May you feel peace knowing that God still provides in the midst of chaos and that this will work together for your good.

If this word speaks to you, I want to invite you to listen to this week’s episode of Call Her Profitable:

Lastly, I want to share this song that has been blessing me and keeping me encouraged this season — I hope it blesses you too. 💛
