There will be hard times. That's a guarantee. My wife and I were once homeless and living in our van depending on God to sustain us from one day to the next. We had just stepped out in faith to begin our ministry with no money, just our faith. Just a word from the Lord to keep us going. And guess what? When things got especially hard one cold January night and we ran out of food and had no money to buy more, we prayed for God to provide and He sent food right to our van the next morning! "The LORD will not let the godly go hungry..." -Proverbs 10:3
