oh me of little faith

Over the past several months, I have been stressed out over life. Mostly over our finances. My most wonderful wife and I will soon be adopting our second baby, and once again we find ourselves wondering where in the world will all the money for the adoption costs come from. We really don't make that much cash, and we make great sacrifices to keep my wife at home with our growing little man. On top of the adoption expenses both our cars are needing work. I'm faced with the dilemma, do I take the money that I have saved up for the baby and apply it to the cars? We know that God has clearly called us to the ministry and the miracle of adoption, and we have followed Him in that, knowing that the money would have to come from His gracious hands. Well, as the months leading up to the adoption have quickly become weeks, we still are short the funds. For weeks, I have stressed over this situation, and I know that it is a sin. Though I don't like to admit it, my stress levels have spoken louder than my words that I believe in my heart that God is not big enough to meet the needs we have in following Him. I have a heart problem, I have little faith. However, this morning I was reminded of two things. First of all God has already provided through our friends and a grant $11,000.00 for this adoption. That's a God thing! Second, I was reminded in scripture that God doesn't require much faith. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus says himself, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." After reading that and reflecting on what God has already been doing, God energized my faith. I'm gaining confidence in the God who can move mountains. My faith is growing. Lord help me to trust you in meeting my needs as I follow you in what I know you have called us to do! Increase my faith to the size of a mustard seed
