An ill grandparent, a single mother or a foster child can sometimes feel alone. Do you feel lonely or depressed because your family members left you? Family life can be challenging when dealing with issues in relationships, work, marriage, parenting, housing, and finances. Achieving balance in our family life is not an easy task. We should love our family as God loves us unconditionally. Even if a child is abandoned by their parents, God will take care of them. As Psalm 27:10 says, “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.”
Family conflicts can be unavoidable. How differences and love and harmony within the family? Ephesians 4:2-3 says, “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Embrace God as the master of the Home. Engage in Godly intimate behavior daily and lead a lifestyle to include prayer and worship at home. Make such practices at home a priority Be close to God.
As for financials, we should learn to be content as Paul lived humbly and found joy and contentment, regardless of his imprisonment circumstance. Philippians 4:11 says, “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” We know that people’s desires are unlimited. If we strive to get what we desire for our family and can’t get it, this will cause stress in the family. Since God always provides for His children, we should ask God for what we need but not what we desire. With God’s grace, a content family is a happy and grateful family.
