This car junk is for the birds! I just talked to Tom and the van is doing something really wierd.
Father, provider, you KNOW that right now, we do not have the resources to have car trouble. Help me to remember somehow that you ARE my provider!---
--That even includes things like van repairs
--graduation expenses
--all of those things that are just UNEXPECTED
Is it wrong to paraphrase Matt 6??

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about
your life,
what you will eat or drink;
OR DRIVE
or about your body, what you will wear.

Is not life more important than food,
or CARS
and the body more important than clothes?

26Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or HOW THEY FLY
store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father LETS THEM FLY
feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

27Who of you by worrying ABOUT CAR PROBLEMS can add a single hour to his life[2] ?

28"And why do you worry about clothes?
OR CARS
OR JOBS
OR MONEY

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

HELP ME, Lord to seek you first, to strive to be righteous and most of all try to force myself to remember that worrying will not get me anywhere!
Let Tom get home OK with the car and maybe let it be an 'easy fix.'

thanks!
