“Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. ”” Mark 11:22-25 NLT
💛Praise Report 💛 Yesterday I got another notification from Nelnet, a student loan payment service, that my account is past due. I haven’t been working and for almost a year have not been attending graduate school. I knew it was but, with no clear way to satisfy the debt I didn’t know what to do. This particular situation has been a great weight on my mind and every time I would get a notification fear would just crawl over me. ~I started to read my devotion and before finishing it, I felt in my heart to not ignore the message but see what it says. As I suspected it was a billing statement with the notification that if this was not satisfied other, slightly scarier, consequences would result. I was so scared but, I started to pray to the Lord. ~I knew the Lord was aware of my situation and I needed Him to help me get through this. My heart was pounding but, I called the 24 hour number to see what kind of options I could take. I was praying so earnestly that God would help me… ~I was connected to an advisor, who allowed me to share my situation with her. I told her everything; told her that I knew I didn’t have any money but, I don’t want to live in fear anymore. She understood, and started to ask me some questions to see what I qualify for. Then God showed up! ~Because of my situation, I was approved for a repayment plan of Zero! In addition, the balances I accrued was forgiven and also brought down to zero. I still have to pay loans back but, for the next year I do not have to worry because it has been brought to zero! I went from having to pay almost $4,000 to require to pay $0! Only God could do that!! He showed up immediately for me! Hallelujah When I finished the call, I started to cry. Then I had to get up and I just started jumping because my spirit was so overwhelmed with thanks and gratitude and I started to cry again because the Lord comforted me and spoke into my heart that He will always be there. ~When I woke up this morning the first thing I checked was my email but no new notifications from Nelnet. I went to the Bible and was led to this passage in Mark. The Holy Spirit always knows what to show me. I checked my account and the to God Be The Glory! It was updated and my account balance is $0! It was that fast! ~I know that the enemy is trying to get me to question the Lord but, I refuse to give into temptation. Jesus made everything alright! I don’t have the weight on my shoulders anymore. I am free! Free indeed to focus on the next steps. And now as a witness for Jesus’ immediate power, I will move forward without fear! He is With Me!
