How to (actually) Trust God with your Finances and Stop Worrying | Melody Alisa

[@MelodyAlisa]

hey, sis. it's testimony time. today's question: what is one way (big or small) that the Lord has provided for you?! for me: like I mentioned, working for myself over the years has put me in positions that reminded me who my true Provider is -- the Lord!! Back in 2017 and 2018, I worked online as an English teacher teaching Chinese students and I would get bonuses when people used my link to sign up to be a teacher on the platform as well. I remember so many instances where these "bonuses" came through unexpectedly but RIGHT ON TIME to meet bill due dates and other random expenses that would pop up. it was during this time that I also began tithing & without a doubt, that helped me see God's provision in this way even clearer. He is good and He is faithful.

I am looking to move my family out of a not so good situation. I currently work for an apartment community part time. As a full time employee I would get the benefit of discounted rent. I was offered the discount as a part time employee and then a week later offered a full time role with the company. I was able to find a really nice apartment and I am planning on moving next month 😁

In my 20's I can never forget that my baby daughter was on her last diaper and my payday was 4 days away. I didn't know what to do BUT GOD....I went out to my mailbox and my grandmother had sent me a card saying Thinking Of You enclosed was more than enough for my daughter's diapers plus more. GOD always shows up when you need him most. Always remember he is FAITHFUL AND A MAN OF HIS WORD, HE CAN'T FAIL......

[@thandekaradebe19]

I can really attest to not having diapers . I’m a mother to a 2 year old . I’ve had days that she didn’t have diapers and I’d cry buying singles every day for like a week . I’m so happy she’s getting the hang of potty training so that I don’t stress about them anymore . It’s so hard when you can’t provide for your child but I trust God with everything.

About 10 years ago, my husband had called me to tell me that he felt like God was telling him to buy a car battery for his brothers neighbor. I didn’t argue or question it because if he felt like it was coming from God, he needed to do it. Later I checked the mail and received a letter from our tribal home division. We live in a tribal home and our house payment was based on our income. Later that evening when he got home I told him about the letter. He began laughing, then he showing me the receipt for the battery. Our house payment had decreased. The decrease was the exact amount of the cost of the battery, to the penny. God will truly bless our finances and provide for us if we trust Him with them. ❤❤❤

One time I needed $1000 to stay in school and I didn’t have a lot of time to figure out where I would get the money and I didn’t have it. The next day a scholarship had been applied to my account for $1000 and I had a zero balance!

My paintings sold for more than I could imagine and I’m still on the East Coast to this day.

[@only_farahandrea9400]

I came back to leave my comment. God stepped in this month and provided for my rent 🙌🏽 I was literally between a rock and the deep blue sea and an unexpected source came through for me. God uses people to provide. We often think that manna is going to fall from heaven and bless us. No. We as His children are called to be His hands and feet. If someone has a need and we can meet it, we should. Because our blessing is right behind it! And blessing doesn’t always mean money. I always say that God’s favor is better than money! He can cancel debt. He can provide unexpected groceries. He can allow the person on the drive thru to pay for our food. The Lord is amazing and He truly is ALL that we need. Consider the lilies of the field and the birds. 🙌🏽 Have you ever seen a stressed out bird? 😂 timely message sis. Thank you!

In February of this year, I moved into my business space. I had no way of paying my booth rent, and I was in need of some supplies. I prayed earlier that day that the Lord would help me with the things that I was lacking for my business. Whenever I got to church that night for Bible study, someone had anonymously left me a $1000 check for my business. They asked the pastor to give it to me and in the memo it read “God Bless your new Business.” I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Bless the Lord 💖

Yes, The Lord will provide. I remember when I had one unemployment check left, I was called in for an interview and started a new job the week following! What a breakthrough that was! There have been many more occurrences since then that The Lord our GOD has been there time and time again faithfully reminding me that He would never leave us or forsake us.

First, this is powerful video on finances. Secondly, I was to share how I trust God with my finances each month. I have a composition notebook where I list ALL by bills for each month. The very first thing that I write at the top of each page is a prayer. I begin by thanking God for the money he has provided for my bills to be paid. Next, I thank Him that All bills will be paid timely, that I will not be in lack or need and that I will not have to borrow or beg anyone. Finally, I end with thanking Him for being my Lord and Savior in Jesus Name. I skip a line and the first thing I write is "Tithing" followed with other bills to be paid. I can truly testify that this has worked for me and God has provided abundantly and above my expectation each month. It WORKS! I hope it will bless someone else to give it a try. In the Name of Jesus I pray! Amen!

I barely had to spend any of my money while i was there, and so i cooked breakfast and dinner for them while i was there to show my appreciation.

God has provided for me in so many ways. I could write a book and probably will write a book. He provided for me when I quit smoking (spiritually). He took the desire away literally it’s been 10 years since I smoked. I had tried many times before and failed but when I did it for Him because I knew the Holy Spirit resides in me I wanted to quit because I didn’t want to continue to harm my body with my body being his temple. Now…He’s helping me to lose the weight I gained. I’ve lost 25 pounds so far and he’s provided in so many other ways. God is always faithful and never failing. We serve an Awesome God.

Being mobile has provided me with the ability to travel, go places for self-care, take my child back and forth to school or practices or anything like that, and provided my husband and I a well running vehicle when his broke. It may sound superficial to some, but having a well-maintained and well reliable vehicle is such a blessing that I used to overlook.

I received extra in my paycheck this month. Felt like I was gonna be short this month. Glory Be To God in JESUS name.

God has provided for me in so many ways. Few years ago, God provided me with a job that I left abruptly and with to work for another company because of the increase in pay. Well, 6 weeks into my new job I was told the company don't have funding for my position and I have 2 weeks to look for another position. I was devastated. I had a dream that my previous manager from the company that I left abruptly reached out to me to offer me my position. I thought to myself that will never happen. Well, approximately 7-8weeks my old manager reached out to me and offered me back my position. Am learning to be obedient to God and to put my complete trust in God. Your video is right on time because am also working through reflecting on the goodness and faithfulness of God. God never fails and I keep reminding myself that God's words do not return void.

[@reinasalvaldor]

There have been many times I was about to get finally dry and then God showed up I was gifted some money, I went from almost broke to having more than what I need

[@jazzmichelle12]

Man God definitely can confirm in so many ways … this video came right on time.. I have just been praying for a financial break especially being a single mom.. and this popped up ! ❤

[@MelodyAlisa]

🙌🏽🙌🏽 praying this encourages you, sis! God WILL provide!

[@lakeshathompson4399]

Single mommy here!! Praying for the same! 🙏🏾💞

[@antoniagibson624]

God has always been my source & my resource. I had a 6 figure student loan debt. God paid it in full. HALLELUJAH!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! Thank you for making this video!❤

[@MelodyAlisa]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@ejyptgates]

I write every night ways I noticed God in my day, and it has really made me appreciate the small things.

[@gabby-shonte6947]

The young adult ministry at my church started a tithing challenge called Try God 100. We tithed $100 for the month of April (spread out across the month). We were believing God for a breakthrough in our finances. Since starting the challenge, God has blessed me with a second job. I now have a little extra cushion that I didn’t have before. I’m very grateful to God for providing this for me 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@kosiclementina4357]

This is such an important reminder. God has come through for me in the nick of time so many times. There was this one time I needed money to go to church. I just told God that I might not be in church that Sunday except I got a certain amount of money. Just the night before, my friend just sent me exactly what I needed and I didn't even tell her about it. Then God answered me "So what were you saying about church again"😂

[@AlishaSwann]

Thank you so much for letting God use you. I literally just finished reviewing my budget. Within my budget spreadsheet, I created a sample mortgage plan to see how much I could afford for a monthly mortgage payment along with all of my other bills on a teacher's salary. I wasn't necessarily discouraged, but I had to keep reminding myself that all things are possible with God. Your video came at the right time.

[@April-tn7zz]

This was amazing! I lost a job and god blessed me with a better, higher paying job where I can now work from home and I have more time to spend with him

[@lakeshathompson4399]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve switched positions within my current organization. As a result, it caused my contract to end a little over a month before I start my new position and a break in pay. This has been on me heavy wondering what I’m going to do, because I have a 6 year old. Your video is a reminder to trust in the Lord, because He can and will provide. He did just that for me at the end of May. I needed to pay the remainder of my daughter’s camp along with other things. I received a message from a family member three days before payment was due saying she’d pay the full balance. If God did it then, He can do it now.

[@takiam6677]

Thank you Lord for your word and the disciple who gave it to us. This hit me so hard. I’ve been stressing about money for a few weeks now. But when you said to write reminders of Gods Provision, I remembered all of the ways he has came through. Just today I didn’t want to spend the money to get some lunch but a medical representative came in with free lunch. Thank you Lord!

[@preciousviolet2813]

That's God providing for you right there. He's an online e God!!

[@Sowedintears6]

And let us write this on the tablets of our hearts 💕 in Jesus name, amen 🙏

[@preciousviolet2813]

A well needed message. Out of a job for almost 2 months now due to me relocating to another state due to my brother's illness. I really thought it would be a smooth transition since I'm in Healthcare, but Texas has so many rules and I'm being forced to do over a course that will cost me money that I don't have. Thank God for my sister putting me up while my stuff are in storage, my faith in Christ is what's keeping me and where He's brought me from before.

[@TreasureForeverOfficial]

This year for me is all about working towards getting out of debt so I really appreciated this content 🙏🏽

[@fefemyluv]

This is right on time, Melody. I’ve never really dealt with financial issues until recently. But some of your points kept popping into my head. I think Matthew 6:33 is so powerful and one of my favorite Bible verses for very good reason. It’s a constant reminder that God is our ultimate supplier if we just seek Him, genuinely and diligently. God has kept me with a roof over my head for 31 years. That, alone, is enough to make me not stress myself out about bills. I trust that He will keep me. I love Him so, so much. Great video as usual, Melody. ❤

[@ritagilmer5389]

God has provided financially, though I’m being challenged in that area now 😢; He’s come through for me medically as well, traveling mercies…every time I arrive home no matter the time, I say thank you God. When my car stopped on me at the intersection, He sent a young man to push my car to a safe location. This was during the time I was waiting on a tow truck and the temps were in the upper 80s. I’m thankful for so many things. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@molinajoseph7315]

We serve a faithful God. Malachi 3:10,11- he says bring me all the tithe into the store house, he even said he will rebuke the devour. When you are faithful to God, he will be faithful to you. Powerful topic sis. God bless you. Prayers lifted always. 🙏🙏🙏

[@jadiew4840]

A few months ago I was faced with a pending debt, but I spent the following months praying boldy about God having the final say! Recently, God used a family member to pay off my debt & he also showed mercy through the person who reported the debt to me. HALLELUJAH!!!

[@tfluvssoaps]

I am an unpaid caregiver and finances have been stressing me out. However the Lord has provided. My mom died and came back. She is still recovering but she isn't like she was when she first went into ICU. The Lord has been purring it in my heart to trust Him in all aspects of my life and pray to Him for my needs. Thanks for the timely video.

[@faithimani870]

This seemingly little moment has marked me to show how God is faithful to his children! I felt like the children of Israel and God providing manna and quail in the wilderness. I was in the grocery store after attending church and doing my usual rounds. I had just started my new job and was getting used to setting a budget for groceries. I then saw my pastor and his children getting groceries in the store. We passed each other briefly and then kept going. I was in line and as they were ringing up my grocieres I began to get nervous about how I would pay for it. My account was low, but I needed the groceries so I continued. As I was about to pay for the groceries, my pastor returned to the store! He had already left the store with his children at this point, but he came back into, paid for my groceries, and left! That moment has marked me in more ways than one and reminded me of just how much the Lord loves me and will make sure that he takes care of his children when they are in need.

[@coachyolee8576]

This video was right on time for sure! God miraculously sustained me thru a Job loss. There were no meals or bills missed! God is truly faithful! #jehovahjireh

[@portiac2930]

Perfect timing.. Jehovah Jireah opened a door for me and Blessed me with a Good paying job when I needed it so desperately, I'm Trusting Him to open the way to help me get in my own home... I know that He's more than Able I can't count the times he's brought me through Situations... Be Encouraged Sis, Gents God NEVER FAILS.

[@Ledamarie]

I don’t think you understand how timely this is‼️‼️I was having a full fledged attack about this. I mean straight panicking. Thanks for this chica🫶🏽🫂

[@MelodyAlisa]

you're so welcome sis!! God's timing >> !!

[@BrieLani]

I’ve literally been praying on my finances

[@niyaj]

God has placed this video in front of me for a reason I have been battling so many financial problems and I will not stress I will not worry I leave it in God's hands but it has really been hard and a challenge but he has been showing up for me day by day and I know my father Jesus christ is not done yet thank you Melody for these wonderful encouragement videos because I needed to heart it God bless your soul ❤

[@Mr300OG]

I got into a motorcycle accident in 2020. Lost my business due to COVID but came out that year with a settlement for $170k

[@Redeemed-wo2xb]

4 mont.hs of rent paid and i was only asking for 1 month. I wasnt being a good steward He showed me grace. When I saw the amount i thought there was a mistake,it wasnt!

[@stephaniescott9066]

There are so many ways that the Lord has blessed me in every area of my life. There is just no way to count but what comes to mind with regard to finances is that I never want for anything. I look at money as nothing more than a resource and a tool that the Lord has provided me to navigate through life. There have been times that I didn't think that I had enough but the Lord showed and proved to me that He is the One who is in control, not the money itself. Your perspective of us managing the Lord's money and what He has given us enlightened me in a new way. I will consider that when I don't feel like doing my housework or homework or just taking care of what God put me in charge of. I will do better. How can I expect Him to bless me with more when I may not be managing what He gave me in the ways that He expects? Your words have blessed me again Melody.

[@SashaVixen]

Wowwwww the timinggggg!!! I am in a financial that only God can get me out of. The embarrassment I took today😭 Seeing this just confirms that God truly loves me and is working on my behalf.

[@jm26998]

God provided me with a car after getting accepted into my radiology program. He told me to believe it would come by the end of May instead of the end of year like I initially prayed and believed for( it was April then). I was surprised with one by my family on May 19 !

[@destinyheinze6888]

Thank you! #2 really hit me. Through financial struggles recently, the Lord has really shown me that my family and I have everything we NEED. He is so good!

[@youandreese]

I’m so blessed to hear you say “someone else’s money”. I’ve never heard it put that way! It is His money so we do need to be even more mindful of how we steward the Good Lord’s money! I love it!

[@_LuxShari]

Staying humble during times of testing and allowing God to speak for me when others are against me. He comes through

[@candaceurquhart]

One of my testimonies where God has provided for me is paying up my rent and bills for about a month and a half out of nowhere. I lost my job back in January. I worked in the security industry installing alarm systems and cameras, etc so I was the bread winner (not bragging).. long story short I went into a job interview and didn't get the position I applied for but another. They owner of the company told me to come back the next day to start work and so when I did, the owner didn't realize that the other position that he offered me had been filled the day before and so he wrote me out a check of $3200 to get my bills caught up.... Now I'm like 5 months behind on rent 😂 but I'm not worried about it because I know God does things in mysterious ways! Thank you Father for always being faithful!!

[@oliviaharley1944]

I want to trust God with everything! Especially my finances !

[@aleciavasquez3677]

God had provided for me in so many ways, a couple instances that immediately came to mind was him helping me with a grant for college when I really needed it, and recently with my current job as he knew how miserable I was at my old one he provided a way out to a new job that is more ideal for my situation as a student and one that is just overall more ideal.

[@ChristianJaLon]

In the month of March, I knew a bill was coming up. I simply prayed the prayer, "Lord, I'm expecting some money from you. I don't know how, when, or what position you're going to put me in the receive it, but I'm expecting it from you. Prior to the bill being due, my mother asked me to do something for her, I didn't want to. I did it anyway. It came with a check. The exact amount that I needed. It wasn't the first time God did something like that for me, simply one of the most recents. -- When you make Him your sole provider, and acknowledge Him as such, it makes it hard to expect your needs to come from anywhere else, and on TIME. He truly us an on time God.

[@siedascorp85]

God is speaking to me through your post. I just had a conversation yesterday with a friend about struggling financially as a single mom with no help, and how i may have to consider working extra overtime or getting a second job altogether. This is despite God telling me to trust Him more & not work so hard. Yet, its hard to get out of my own way. This was right on time!!

[@mrs.vbrown]

I’ve definitely been on the end of God’s good graces🎉 I am blessed beyond measure & I have to understand that in his timing more will come! I could have been dead, homeless without a bed(I was able to sleep in a house even though it wasn’t our own) I could have been paralyzed!!! But the goodness of God did not allow that to happen ❤

[@nanaanokye1856]

The timing on this😅 the past couple of days I was going crazy on researching how to pay off my student loans and have been worried about the debt amount . But this video really helped to remind myself God will help me with all of that.

[@Jennifercita]

I like to use a prayer journal most of the times and I've been using to intentionally document my spiritual journey and blessings. We can forget how He's rescued us from situations. I will never forget the blessing I received March 2023 where He blessed me with a gift. I was coming out of work and I had seen an envelope on my dashboard. There was no letter but I opened it to find $400!

[@MrsB565]

God is always on time

[@MelodyAlisa]

ALWAYS!

[@TheSharmiyao]

My last semester of grad school I didn’t have the money necessary to for class nor did I have the approval for the class I needed. I felt defeated but was reminded what the Lord called me to do. So I just prayed and talked to him and said, I’m not going to worry about a thing bc YOU said I would guess this degree. Within 2 hours I had the approval code and the money. I borrowed from my brother and best friend to meet the deadline. I was just moved to reach out to the 2 of them. After I paid for my class and met the deadline, the money I was waiting for to hit my account was there. I paid my brother and friend back immediately. We all laughed at that turn around. God’s promises are yes and we agree with our Amen. Always recall what his word says and what he said to you. Your heart won’t be as troubled and he won’t fail.
